6. Soothes Itchy Skin and Sunburn
Advertisement
Baking soda can help many skin concerns. It works especially well to relieve persistent itching and the discomfort from insect bites and stings. Mix baking soda with water into a thick paste and apply to affected spots. For itchy, sunburned skin, try a baking soda bath. Add one or two teaspoons to a warm (not hot) bath. Soak for at least 30 minutes, covering problem areas. Some research suggests adding cornstarch and oatmeal may speed sunburn recovery.
