I’ve heard baking soda can help with blackheads, but I’m skeptical. Does it actually work?

Baking soda is sometimes touted as a home remedy for blackheads due to its exfoliating properties. It can help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, which may reduce the appearance of blackheads. However, baking soda can be abrasive and harsh on the skin, potentially leading to irritation and disrupting the skin’s natural pH balance.
Additionally, using baking soda too frequently or leaving it on the skin for too long can cause dryness and further skin issues. It’s important to patch test any new skincare remedy on a small area of skin and consult with a dermatologist before incorporating baking soda into your skincare routine to ensure it is suitable for your skin type and condition.
