That claim is not true, and it’s important to be careful with it.
Baking soda cannot erase wrinkles in 10 minutes at any age. There’s no scientific evidence supporting that claim, and using baking soda on skin can actually cause harm.
Why this is a myth
- Wrinkles form over years due to natural aging, sun exposure, genetics, and skin structure. They can’t be removed instantly with a household ingredient.
- Baking soda is very alkaline, while healthy skin is slightly acidic.
- Putting baking soda on your face can strip the skin barrier, leading to:
- Dryness and irritation
- Redness or burning
- Breakouts or worsening wrinkles over time
Dermatologists actually warn against using baking soda on facial skin.
What can realistically help with wrinkles (safely)
No instant miracles—but these are proven and safe when used consistently:
- Daily sunscreen (biggest anti-aging factor)
- Gentle moisturizer to keep skin hydrated
- Retinoids (vitamin A) – doctor-recommended for long-term wrinkle reduction
- Vitamin C serums for brightness and collagen support
- Professional treatments (done by licensed professionals), if someone chooses
A healthy reminder
Wrinkles are a normal part of aging, not a flaw. Any product promising instant, total wrinkle removal—especially with kitchen ingredients—is almost always misinformation.
