Vitamin C and baking soda: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Apply vitamin C and baking soda at different times of day, using vitamin C in the morning and baking soda later, because they cancel each other out. Mixing them makes the vitamin C break down and lose its skin benefits before it can work. You can use a gentler cleanser or wait longer between applying them to avoid the clash.
