Baking soda and lemon juice effects on the skin
According to Healthline baking soda, when combined with lemon juice, does not provide any skin benefits. Its higher pH level can cause skin problems like peeling, acne, and dermatitis. Using a scrubbing motion on the face makes it more irritating. Adding lemon juice may counteract the high pH, but it's difficult to determine the right proportions outside of a laboratory.
