⚠️ Skincare & Medical Disclaimer: Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) has an alkaline pH (~9) that can severely strip your skin’s natural acidic barrier (pH ~5.5), leading to dryness, redness, chemical burns, or hyperpigmentation—especially around the fragile eye area. Never apply baking soda directly near your eyes to treat dark circles. Always perform a patch test on your inner arm prior to using any DIY skin treatment, and consult a board-certified dermatologist for targeted treatments for dark spots, melasma, or fine lines. 🩺✨
