That looks like one of those viral “miracle remedy” posts in Spanish—usually along the lines of “mix cream + bicarbonate, drink it before bed, goodbye wrinkles and spots.” It sounds simple, but it’s not grounded in good evidence and can even cause problems.
⚠️ About drinking “bicarbonate” at night
They’re referring to Sodium bicarbonate.
- It’s not meant to be taken regularly as a health drink
- Can upset your stomach and acid balance
- High sodium intake can affect blood pressure (especially important after 60–70)
👉 Occasionally, doctors may use it for specific conditions, but not as a nightly anti-aging drink
🧴 About “cream + bicarbonate” for skin
Using baking soda on your face is risky:
- It disrupts your skin’s natural pH
- Can cause dryness, irritation, or even burns
- May worsen wrinkles over time instead of improving them
🧠 Why these claims spread
They play on real concerns like aging skin and use simple ingredients to sound “natural,” but they ignore how skin actually works.
Wrinkles and spots are linked to factors like:
- Sun exposure
- Collagen loss
- Hydration
- General skin care
✅ What actually helps (realistic and safe)
For wrinkles
- Daily sunscreen
- Gentle moisturizers
- Products with retinoids (if suitable)
For dark spots
- Sun protection (most important)
- Vitamin C or mild exfoliation
For overall health (which affects skin)
- Balanced diet (including protein and healthy fats)
- Hydration
- Sleep
🧾 Bottom line
- Drinking baking soda nightly is not safe or effective
- Applying it to skin can do more harm than good
- There’s no simple overnight fix for wrinkles or spots
If you want, I can translate the full post and break down each claim—or suggest a simple, low-cost skincare routine that actually works.
