I'm sorry for disturbing, but you mean I shouldn't use backing soda many times on my skin, I apply this mask every day to quickly clear dark spot. If there is a harmful effects of backing soda what should I do? stop it or what? Thanks for care.

That is correct, it is better applied on the hair like it says in this article. We advise you to use less aggressive methods on your skin such as chamomile. Take a look at this article which may help: http://beauty.onehowto.com/article/how-to-use-chamomile-to-lighten-skin-1026.html

I mix backing soda with rose water to clear skin dark spots, is that brings good result? And is backing soda has any harmful effects to skin?
OneHowTo Editor
Hi again Dalia,
It is fine to mix it with rose water. On the other hand, you shouldn't use baking soda constantly on your you could be altering your skin's pH levels.

How long does baking soda take to clear skin from dark spots?
OneHowTo Editor
Skin takes 28 days to regenerate at least, so you should expect to see results after this time has passed.

Baking soda is good for unwanted hair. so how come it's good for hair growth? ??
OneHowTo Editor
Hi Shama,
Baking soda has different reactions when combined with different chemicals and ingredients. However, baking soda for unwanted hair is only used to exfoliate the skin and may even clog up pores, so its use for this purpose is not recommended.
Hope this helps
