Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
- 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel (or fresh aloe)

How to Prepare the Cream
- In a small bowl, combine the baking soda with aloe vera gel until you get a smooth, creamy paste.

- Rinse off and apply your usual moisturizer.
- Use it 3–4 nights per week.
