Planning to make some baked treats but running out of baking soda? Here are 5 substitutes that work very well if you don't have baking soda in your kitchen:

Club soda or carbonated water can replace baking soda if you need it in a small amount. Although it may not work in cakes, it can be added to thinner batter recipes like waffles or pancakes.

Potassium bicarbonate can easily replace baking soda in a recipe. It has similar properties and can help give rise to cakes. Although it may change the taste slightly, salt can be added to match the taste of baking soda.

Another ingredient which can help your batter rise is whipped egg whites. Be sure to reduce the same amount of milk or liquid in the recipe to balance it.

The most popular substitute for baking soda, and often confused with baking powder can be a good substitute. Be sure to add about three times more baking powder than the quantity required of baking soda as it is milder.

A self-rising flour contains all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. It is a good substitute as you won't need to add any rising agent. Keep in mind to follow a recipe that has self-rising flour as proportions could be significantly different.

Managing oily skin during the monsoon season can be challenging due to the increased humidity. Here are some effective skincare tips to keep your oily skin balanced and healthy:

Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities without stripping your skin of essential moisture. Look for cleansers containing salicylic acid or tea tree oil, which help control oil production.

Apply a toner after cleansing to remove any leftover dirt and oil. Choose an alcohol-free toner with ingredients like witch hazel or rose water, which helps to tighten pores and balance the skin's pH.

Even oily skin needs moisturisation. Opt for a lightweight, non-comedogenic, gel-based moisturiser that hydrates without clogging pores.

Exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week to remove dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores. Use a gentle exfoliant with ingredients like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs).

Carry blotting papers with you to absorb excess oil on your skin throughout the day. They help to reduce shine without disturbing your makeup or skincare products.

Use minimal, lightweight makeup products. Opt for oil-free, mattifying foundations and powders to keep your skin looking fresh.

Use a clay mask once a week to absorb excess oil and detoxify your skin. Also, keep your hair clean and away from your face to prevent transferring oils and dirt onto your skin.
