Treat insect bites
Summertime means funny outdoor time, right? Although hot weather allows you to enjoy outdoor activities, it also brings mosquitoes and annoying bites. It doesn’t matter if you use mosquito repellents; these troublesome insects will always find a way to leave an itchy bump on your skin. If you don’t have any ointment to treat the itch, you can use baking soda instead.
Most creams in the market focused on relieving itchiness contain baking soda. So, why not make your own at home? All you have to do is mix baking soda with water and apply it directly to your skin. It’s not advisable to use this kind of remedy daily. Still, it can be helpful to reduce redness, itching, and stinging from insect bites on special occasions.
