Let's bake your face with "Baking Soda"

As I browse through the internet regarding with homemade facial mask, my eyes was caught by "Baking Soda". It's so funny that this baking ingredient can be called as an all-purpose baking soda. I've tried it with my canker sore and it's so painful remedy, we can use it as bleach for our laundry, we can use it as a cleanser and it takes away bad odor and it can whiten our teeth too. So I tried it and make some review about how well to use it as a facial mask. I heard too that it's a good home remedy for your acne too.

• I made a paste-like baking soda solution and applied it on my face.
• The first application was a bit prickly but as it dries longer, it becomes colder and I can feel my face skin was tighter.
•  I leave it and dry it for another 30 minutes.
• W hen I see the mask was dried and cracking, I washed my face with my Facial wash.
•  After washing it, my face feels so smooth and it was lighten up. As I read it has a exfoliating power that makes my face lighter. And I swear it really works.

I'm not sure if I'm going to recommend this as a facial mask because we're not have the same type of skin. Some have sensitive skins and some are more.... But for me it a two thumbs up! Aside of its cheaper that facial mask that I usually use, it has a lot purpose that helps me to do. 

So, just go ahead and see it for yourself.

Best Alternatives for Baking Ingredients

Have you experience of running out of stocks of your ingredients for your cake or cupcakes? I do. So,I'll share some tips for you that might help you to find the best alternatives for what you need. But just a reminder for you, some ingredients may affected the taste and the textures of your recipe, so I better recommend you to find your ingredients first before you start to bake. So let's get started!

Original Ingredient - Alternative  formula Ingredient

•  Baking Powder  -  Combine 1/4 tsp Baking Soda  + 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar = 1 tsp of Baking Powder

• Unsalted Butter  -  If you can't find unsalted butter on your local stores you  can use the Regular Butter just make sure that your not going to use salt on your dry mixture, or even  Margarine  will help you out too.

• Corn Syrup  - If you don't have this ingredient you can easily replace it with 1 1/4 cups Sugar + 1/3 cups of Liquid.  

• Cake Flour  - For all bakers knowledge the best alternative for this is the All Purpose Flour. There's a bit adjustment for the formula for this. I tried it and it works. The formula goes like this        1 cup minus 2 tbsp of All Purpose Flour = 1 cup of Cake Flour.

• Honey - I usually do this whenever I make a Pancake as an alternative for honey or maple syrup. 1 1/4 cups of Sugar + 1/3 liquids. This is the same as Corn Syrup. This is can be use as a design for your cakes too, it will serve as a morning dew on your flowers and leaves fondant.

• Shortening - like the unsalted butter you can use a  Regular Butter or Margarine as an alternative.

• Sour Cream - We can use a Plain Yougurt as substitution for this. Yummy and healthy!

• Baking Soda - We need this ingredient to rise up our mixture just like the Baking Powder. All we need to do is just double or triple the measurement of  the Baking Powder as a replacement ingredient.

• Milk - For those people who loves cakes but they are "Lactose Intolerant", Well the best alternative for the dairy or Milk ingredients will be Coconut Milk,  Soy Milk and Rice Milk. But I recommend Soy Milk  as the excellent replacement for your milk because it will still stable any dishes.

But always remember that "Putting your heart and soul to everything you do is the BEST  SECRET INGREDIENTS".
