The professional name of baking soda is sodium pudding hydrogen. It is a common chemical product. One of its main functions is cleaning. In many cases, baking soda is added to facial cleansers to achieve better cleaning effects. But is it good to use baking soda to wash your face every day?

It is not good to wash your face with baking soda every day. Baking soda is a very good cleanser. Mixing it with facial cleanser and washing your face can remove grease, blackheads, and shrink pores.
