Best Baking Soda Home Cures

All you need to keep yourself—and your food—cleaner than ever? A little box of baking soda and our tips for putting this all-purpose powder to work.

 

For clean produce…
I use a mixture of baking soda and water to scrub fresh fruit and vegetables.

For glossy hair…
Mix with shampoo to get rid of product buildup.

For itch relief…
Make a paste with water and apply directly to mosquito bites to relieve swelling and itching.

For smooth skin…
I keep a jar of it in the shower to exfoliate every morning.
Dermatologist’s tip: When using this natural body scrub, make sure to choose the crystal form of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Mix with coarse salt or sugar for extra polishing power.
