Hi,
Use Baking Soda for lightening your skin.

Hi Preethivarma & welcome to the forum. Your brief post explains nothing about how to 'use baking soda for skin lightening'. Is this a folk remedy you are trying? What do you do: mix the powder into some sort of a masque or paste? How often do you apply it & for how long do you leave it on? How long before a person can expect to see results? Please share more of your ideas.

I just checked out this baking soda thing & apparently it appears to lighten by exfoliating away dead skin cells when diluted with water (or lemon juice & water) & used as a scrub. It will not affect melanin production, though.

Using baking soda to exfoliate: doesn't it dissolve in the liquid, how do you go about it?

Well what I do is wet my hands first, leave them wet (water still dripping wet) and then I put like a dime size amount in my hand and just rub my hands together to get the baking soda on both hands, then I exfoliate! I'm horrible at explaining things, so I hoped I helped you more than confused you

just solve the soda in water and wash your face with it.
