Baking Soda and Orange Juice Face Mask

The claim is that this mask will help control acne and brighten your skin. I mixed up a few tablespoons of baking soda with a tablespoon or so of orange juice. Added a bit more of each to get a good thick paste. Slathered it on my face, and left it for 15 minutes.

When I washed it off it turned into a nice exfoliator. My skin definitely feels softer. I'll try it a few more times and see if it actually "brightens". I did like that it was quick and easy and did not smell like some of the egg and soy concoctions I have put on my face in the past. It also did not stick to anything like the honey masks I have tried so that was nice.
