The combination of baby oil and baking soda has become popular in viral beauty posts that claim it can make mature skin look dramatically younger, reduce wrinkles, and fade dark spots. While the idea may look simple and inexpensive, baking soda is not a proven anti-aging treatment and can be irritating when applied directly to the skin.
If you enjoy homemade skin-care recipes, a gentler alternative is to use baby oil or another simple moisturizer on its own to help soften dry skin. Below is a simple hand-care treatment that focuses on moisture rather than harsh exfoliation.
