| Pros | Slight Tingling, Slight Cooling Sensation, Skin feels refreshed, Skin feels smooth, DIRT CHEAP. Doubles as a mask. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Does dry your skin, apply OIL FREE moisturizer after use |
| Bottom line | I started this 'regimen' today.. again, lol. I've been using a sugar scrub on my body/face which I was well aware of was too rough for the delicate skin on my face. I've heard about Baking Soda for a facial cleanser/mask since I was in Jr High (many many years ago - ha!) *Recommended to me by an Aesthetician* QUICK HOW TO: •DO NOT SCRUB YOUR FACE!• Allow the pressure from your fingertips to do the work, this acts like Microdermabrasion - applying too much pressure can irritate your delicate skin. Remember, the skin on your face is much THINER in comparison to your body. •Start by gently rubbing all over for 2 minutes. •Rinse gently with warm water. •Splash COLD water on face to close pores.PAT dry - NEVER RUB! •Tone (I use witch hazel) •Apply OIL FREE moisturizer (Baking Soda is pretty drying to one's skin - apply a moisturizer after each use). BAKING SODA MASK: •Gently rub over face in small circular motion for 2 minutes. •Allow to sit and dry for: 10 min for first mask / 20 min there after, pending on what your skin can handle. •DO NOT TALK during drying - as this will cause the mask to crack and flake off. Have a distraction readily available (tv, book, game, etc.) •Rinse gently with WARM WATER. •Splash COLD water on face to close pores. PAT DRY! •Tone with product of choice (again, I use witch hazel) •Apply oil-free moisturizer. FACE WILL BE PINK - this is good! From the gentle massaging of your fingertips, blood is drawn to the skin, which aids in cell rejuvenation and healing. Your skin will also be pink from gently removing the layer(s) of dead skin and revealing fresh 'new' skin. Don't be alarmed!! Applying PURE ALOE VERA GEL can help ease discomfort and redness if any is present, as well as help with healing, evening skin tone, and clearing breakouts. Aloe is drying as well, so make sure to moisturize! GOOD LUCK ALL! I adore this, always hav |

| Pros | Burning (Makes it feel like it works) Smooth shiny skin Clear clogged pores Smaller pores |
|---|---|
| Cons | Not always effective Burning (but i like the burning sensation?) |
| Bottom line | I think everyone's already said it. The only problem is is that it's not 100% effective every time you use it. But it still works, |

| Pros | smaller pores, acne gone! healthy glowing skin. Very inexpensive. Also works as a good hair cleanser and teeth whitener. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Had a really bad breakout when I first started using it. My advice don"t pick at it if this happens. Good thing is my scars from that breakout were gone in just a few weeks and all old scars are completely gone. skin looks great! |
| Bottom line | I have been researching many different types of natural remedies for acne on my self for about a year now. I have mild to moderate acne and I’m in my late 20's. I was just so frustrated! After trying many things I found that this works the best for me. I put a small amount in my hand after I wash my face and gently massage my face with it for a few seconds. I do this always in the morning and sometimes at night depending on how active I have been that day I live in humid climate so if you live in a dry climate two time a day might be over drying. After I wash my face I use a oil free moisturize….... This has really worked for me but it’s not the only thing I am doing. I have combined many different things and ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPED OVERNIGHT, so please be patient. Many people have acne because of multiple imbalances in their body and our bodies take time to heal. Here are some of the other things I am doing to fight my acne. I don’t have enough space to type all of this so my advice is to Google all of these and their health benefits. All organic produce. Less sugar and white carbs. Probiotics: Your tummy is much more important than you might think. LOOK this up. :) A lot of vegis! Salomon (not farm raised). 2 liters of h2o a day. Very important and don’t worry you will eventually stop peeing so much. Cosmetics: Avalon Organics Vitamin C products. I love the rejuvenating oil free moisturizer. (Organic) :) Also check out a site called [link removed] Your skin is a mirror of what is going on inside your body so be kind to it. I hope that something on hear helps you. Good luck. |

| Pros | Smaller Pores, Less Oily Skin, Lighter Scars, Smaller/Disappearing Zits, Better Complexion |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stings a Bit, Dries Out Skin Fast |
| Bottom line | I've been using the Baking Soda/Water face mask for a little over a week and my acne has cleared up almost completely! My scars are much lighter, and my large zits are much smaller, not as sore, and heal much faster! My face gets oily on my forehead and nose especially, and it clears it right up. The down side for me is that I have sensitive skin, so it stings a bit before I can rinse it off, but the results are worth it! I use this once a day before I put on another homemade face mask with oatmeal, lemon juice, orange juice, honey, and mashed banana that makes my face smoother and acts as a moisturizer after the baking soda mask. The lemon juice also takes up evening my skin tone where the baking soda leaves off. Together, my red, chronically blotchy areas are almost completely gone after just 1 week, my scars are much less noticeable, and my skin feels so much nicer. |

| Pros | - Flaten existing painful acne (after just 1 use) - Brighter overall skin (maybe the oil redrawn make face less dull and dark) - Less oily skin last longer - Cheap - |
|---|---|
| Cons | Dont put it near your eyes, it's gona be really painful and hard to take out as the grains are reallyreally fine, you will regret. |
| Bottom line | I was damn scare and worry why i didnt feel the sharp sting or anything. Perhaps only on open acne wounds. Upon washing off i was horrified and very sad that those brown/ red stops become more obvious. And i over left it on dont put it too long if you're not confident for the first time. Less than 5 mintues would be enough i suppose. (should be explainable cos it is for exfoliating, the surface is slightly removed thus scar seems more obvious) BUT after my whole shower, some redness on skin is gone. Scar wise to be honest too early to say, i cant really tell much difference. Indeed good on making acne stop. *2 acne near mouth & acne on my neck is not pain anymore after just 1 use. Somewhat cured. No joke. Somehow like many says good for blackhead. AND most importantly, face is alot less oily. Maybe that explains why the pimple become alot less active due to redrawing oil from it. This review is only based on 1 usage and is pretty amazing already. Next i plan to put lemon (anti bacteria&fungi, vitaC into skin), and honey so less harsh. People with acne you must really try, it might really save you alot sadness. |

| Pros | Clears face, fades scars, very cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | Mildly abrasive so might not be great for sensitive skin. |
| Bottom line | I started the Regimen a few years ago and it worked really well. I went from moderate to mild acne and was pretty happy about it. Several months ago I was looking for an effective way to fade my old acne discoloration scars (again). At the end of my rope, I tried a baking soda mask. The results were amazing! I could immediately see a difference in the evenness of my skin tone. A few days later I did another mask and other people noticed the difference as well. Here's the really good part. I got so excited by the results I started looking for other ways people use baking soda. Based on these reviews I was a little nervous to use it as a cleanser/exfoliant like Arm and Hammer's website says you can. My skin isn't very sensitive so I gave it a try. It cleared my acne completely!!!! I always still had about six fairly small pimples somewhere on my face and usually one full-out zit. They all cleared away completely as soon as I started using baking soda! For the mask: Every three days, I mix about two or three tablespoons of baking soda and just enough water to make a paste about the consistency of tooth paste. I carefully "plaster" it on my face, hold as still as I can (or it will start "snowing"), and rinse it off after about five minuets. Daily routine; morning and night: First I wash with baking soda. I wet my face, pour a little more than a quarter size baking soda in my palm, and add enough water to make a very very thin paste. I gently scrub my entire face with this solution, it's a little scratchy, which means its exfoliating but you also have to be careful not to be too rough. I then follow the Regimen using Cetaphil, a generic BP, and a SPF 15 oil-free moisturizer. |

| Pros | Cleared my skin Even worked on my cystic acne Cheap Easy to apply |
|---|---|
| Cons | May irritate ur skin if used too often. |
| Bottom line | First off, I wanna give a quick backstory to my skin. I come from a family that has alot of acne (mainly hormonal acne--which is the hardest to treat) and have suffered from moderate/moderately severe acne. As I got older (im 20 now) my other acne subsided but I continued to get cystic acne. My derm had prescribed everything under the sun and the only thing i had left to try was accutane, and i really didnt wanna take that stuff. So I watched alot of skin videos on YT and saw a few videos on using Baking Soda as a face wash. I tried it since I had nothing to lose. After buying the BS, i put in a container with water and would shake&pump it to wash my face everyday. MY SKIN CLEARED UP SO FAST!!! it was the clearest my skin had been in years. But since I was using it everyday without fail my skin began to get irritated, really bad. So now I may use it every other day or once a day when i REALLY need it. But honestly I rarely do, my skin hasnt broke out in cystic acne SINCE! ..i MAY get an occasional zit (non-cystic, and very small) about once every 3 weeks or so. Looking back, BS was the only product that cleared my skin up, and now i barely have to use it at all.. overall this worked GREAT for me and it was only a dollar!! :) |

| Pros | Fresh feeling Makes the skin look cleaner Soft skin Easy |
|---|---|
| Cons | Ichy for the first 2 minutes |
| Bottom line | I loved it. I've tried a lot of things, but my skin just gets used to the cleaner. What I did: ~4 teaspoons of baking soda in a bowl ~2 spoon fulls of warm water ~Add more as needed of both ingrediants ~Once the mixture is paste, add about 3 teaspoons of honey so that you can leave it on for longer. (plus it makes your skin smell good!) ~Leave it on for about 20 mintues Afterwords, I jumped in the shower, and I felt 10x better about my skin |
