March 3, 2017 at 1:44 amCan I use skin whitening pack daily ?
Mamta
March 5, 2017 at 7:23 amHi Sheeba, using baking soda daily on face can be harsh, so you should use it 2-3 times in a week. If you are using it on apart from your face then you can use it daily. Thanks

April 13, 2017 at 3:59 amHow many times a week do you use the skin whitening? Is it daily or 2-3 x a week? How about the face wash ? Please advise
Thank you
Dolly
Mamta
April 17, 2017 at 5:43 pmHi Dolly, you should use it 2-3 times in a week for skin whitening. For face wash also you should use it 2-3 times in a week. Don’t use it daily on your face as this can be harsh on your skin.
Thanks

April 11, 2018 at 11:17 amHello ..I am 16 year girl. I read that baking soda with warm water helps in removing facial hairs…is it true?
N if it’s true then.. would facial hairs grow thicker and coarser afterwards?
Mamta
May 22, 2018 at 2:09 pmHi Shatakshi,
Yes, baking soda does work in removing facial hairs. But I would not recommend you using it, as you are just 16 years oil. This can be harsh on your delicate skin.
No, you won’t get thicker and coarser hairs afterward.
