I find that the supermarket sells baking soda right next to baking powder, only the baking soda isn't always called baking soda. I bought this 400gr salt-like container that said Bicarbonate. I'm sure that's it though.
In the meantime, anyone who can answer my question above? Can I use this whole regimen while I have a few active zits, or is this stricly for red marks?
I know that it says I'm suppose to use a cleanser for sensitive skin. Well, I already have one by Cetaphil that is for normal to oily skin. Is this okay to use instead? I hate to ask my parents to go out and buy one that says for sensitive skin. Thanks to anyone who can help.
Ok, so today would be the third day that I'm using it, and I'm definitly seeing results. Red marks seem to be fading, but I'm a bit concerned that I keep waking up with a small whitehead or two. Very minor things though, and I can pop them with ease, and they don't really leave marks, but still...
Also, I don't really understand why you would need apple cider vinegar to neutralize your pH. Can't you just use a bucket-full of water? I'm serious here.

I've done this thing for 4 days, and my face is a definite improvement! At this rate, my red marks should be invisible in a week! (Ok, so maybe that's a bit optimistic, but it really feels like that!)
I love you Delna!
Illegal Life -> You don't need a large amount of apple cider, because there's no way you can get it all on your face. You don't have to be exact either. Just mix a small amount in a cup, and use a cotton ball to apply to your face. Leave it on for 10 minutes and wash it off.
BFGUITAR -> Like the first post says: Every single evening. Just buy a twelvepack of eggs, put it in the fridge, and you should be covered for almost two weeks. Don't forget the lemon too though.
hey i just wanted to say that ive been using baking soda for around 6 weeks or so, and its helping with red marks alot. i tried herbal logix but it didnt do anything. the baking soda works good for me because my skin is so oily, and it wipes away all the oil. as for the other things in this regimen, the egg mask and vinegar, ive tried the vingar but it made me all red and im too lazy to do the egg mask. thanks so much for the idea of the baking soda, allthough im prety sure its been suggested before. i recomend baking soda asit seems to do an excellent job of exfoliating for me.
I think i'm going to give this method a try next week. I have a few questions about it:
1. if im trying to get rid of red marks on my shoulders, how should i apply everything to that area (i.e the vinegar). Using a cotton ball would take forever.
2. What are some of the success stories? Anyone care to share?
3. Has this helped anyone with their regular tissue scars?
Thanks a lot.
hi all,
Just to let you guys on my adjusted regimen that better suits my skin.
Morning:
Wash face with dove soap bar for sensitive skin
Apply moisturisor WITH SPF 15+ (sunscreen is a must if u plan on having great/quick results)
Night:
Wash face with dove soap bar for sensitive skin
Delna's BS & ACV method
Apply aloe vera gel
The aloe vera is a great ingredient to add to the regimen. So far i've had great results with this adjusted regimen not only my marks are fading but my skin is looking much healthier and really improved my skin tone and texture.
Good luck
This is the end of my second week. Had 6 new bumps during the week. Red marks are definitely fading. Do not know if I want to continue with this regime or not. I'm gonna give it a another week before I make the call.
wow, if this is as good as everyone says it is, i have to try it before summer starts. Im almost 20 and have had acne since i was 10. After taking accutane 2 years ago it is not nearly as bad anymore, and my face is normally pretty clear. My chest and back are completely different stories though. I want to try this so hopefully the red marks will go away and i may actually be able to go to the beach this summer.
