For sensitive skin, start with 2-3 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Rinse off with lukewarm water and gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel.<\/li>\n<li>Apply moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat this treatment 2-3 times a week, adjusting based on your skin\u2019s response.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1010\" src=\"http:\/\/trendjet.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2.webp-300x169.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trendjet.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2.webp-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/trendjet.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2.webp-678x381.webp 678w, https:\/\/trendjet.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2.webp.webp 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Method 2: Baking Soda and Lemon Juice<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 teaspoons of baking soda<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Combine baking soda and lemon juice in a small bowl.
