Beauty Tips For Body Care
I am looking for some help to clarify some things about baking soda (and lemon juice for that matter) and was hoping that you all could help me!I manage a makeup/beauty-group in my country with over 18k members, and every once in a while someone will mention how they use baking soda (or lemon juice) for their hair and/or skin. This raises a few flags for me, as I remember reading a lot about it here, how it's a bad thing etc. I keep warning people that the pH is way off and they should avoid it, as it will affect their skin in a bad way in the long run, despite them seeing "amazing" effects pretty much straight away, but people always keep throwing back arguments about how "lemon and baking powder neutralizes eachother" and the same when it's "dilluted in water"..Well recently I stumbled upon another group, where a few of the products they preach about is some Korean brand (Holika Holika) that cointains baking soda. They talk about how as long as they use a toner to neutralize the pH (and sunscreen), it's fine. Can anyone explain this to me? Is it true or how does it even work? I have not spoken up against that, as I fear they will verbally behead me if I even show a grain of scepticism.I find it very worrying how "those" people never ever seem to show any rational thinking about the products/ingredients as long as they have a cute packaging and a "POW!" (instant) effect.I figured I would need to get my facts straigth before ever speaking up on stuff like this, but I couldn't find much on "neutralizing pH" on here. (And I personally fail to see how that is even possible in the terms of cleanser+toner)TL;DR: How to explain to a bunch of "preachers" how baking soda is bad for you despite using a "neutralizing" toner?
