Quick question: I am new on the baking soda/vinegar treatments. I don't have any AC vinegar...all I have is white wine vinegar...will that work instead? has anyone tried it? thanks!!

 

You need to get the Apple Cider Vinegar for sure.

If I use this, will it also fade my freckles? I have them all over my body and wouldnt want just my face to be without freckles, I've had them all of my life and cant imagine my face without them, but I really want to get rid of these red marks. Does anyone know if my freckles will also dissapear, if so, I would have to use this everywhere there is freckles, cause I would look silly.

im not too sure, but i would imagine so because the apple cider vinegar is there to bleach your skin so it bleaches your redmarks and speeds up the process.. so im pretty sure it will have some effect on your freckles, but not much.

hmm..shod i use this?? what bout the bumps? rite now im on APRICOT SCRUB and clindamycin gel (which works great)

i dont use a cleanser.... the only thing i wash my face with..morning and nite...is apricot scrub...everyday.

then i apply my clindamycin... i need a new plan to get red of the red marks...so shod i jus use the eggwhite and lemon??

baking soda and apple cider vinegar???is that realistic?? what bout the ppl that are getting bumps???

please give me sum input before i do sumthin stupid and my whole face goes OUT OF CONTROL!

 

 

 

Ive been doing this regime for months now...at first it really helped, however a couple weeks ago ive noticed that i started getting little flesh colored bumps all over my cheeks. not inflammed or anything, but still they are there. i must have like 100 of them! im definitely thinking it has somehting to do with this regime cause ive NEVER had these before! i think the baking soda is clogging my pores causing the bumps (closed comedones) ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF THESE!?! or has had this problem too???

 

 

burns like pkiller said, and thats probably because the strength of that vinegar acid or whatever is quite strong.

 

 

i dont think theyre burns...bc theyre not inflamed or anything. and i only get these bumps where i shave. so i think that might have somthing to do with it too. what do you think?

 

 

 

Finally - someone who is having the same problem as me!!! Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix the problem b/c I don't know what the real problem is either. I also had great results with the regimine for the first few months, and now i have a million tiny bumps on my cheeks and a few on my forehead. If i stop following the regimine, my face breaks out - so GRRRR! I made an appointment with a dermatologist but they didnt have any appointments available until August. If you find out any information on how to get rid of these stupid bumps - please please please let me know!!

 

have you tired SA?

I think you guys got the white bumps from either

1.) the baking soda accumulatoion in yur pores (cuz quite frankly i've never heard of anyone using baking soda on their face...except for ppl on this forum)

2.) white bumps are actually white heads that are coming out of yur skin, it is internally flushing out the bacteria you got in the epidermis.

That is why i am not using the baking soda paste... i am not using the ACV either... that is kinda scary to be using vinegar on yur face...so acidic!!

I started with the lemon/egg mask last night...and my skin looked very radiant and less red in the morning, looked smooth and not as rough....

NIGHT:

i am washing my face with apricot scrub, St. Ives for blemish skin and then putting the white egg + 3-4 drops of freshly squeezed lemon mask....then after 10min wash it off...then b4 bed apply my clindamycin gel.

DAY- Apricot scrub....+ clindamycin gel (works good on red marks)

I wanna start using some mild makeup...any suggestions??

 

use a 1:8 (vinegar:water) solution first and then gradually increase to 1:1 ..never apply it neat. BALANCED pH = BEAUTIFUL SKIN! wash off after 10 mins. dont leave it on.

 

 

 

Call me slow but...you put it on, leave it on for 10 minutes, then wash it off?

And if that's right...then why does it say don't leave it on?

{{PS. I'm trying this tonight. From all the feedback it sounds like it works! I'm so excited!}}

what they mean is ... you put it on and then wash it off....dont leave it on for the rest of the day.... you gotta make sure you WASH IT off yur face after 10minutes... dont leave it on longer than 10min

i think.

those tiny little bumps have now turned into full blown pimples ppl!

i wouldnt recommend this regime for long term...i dont think its worth it...be happy with your red marks, at this point i would do anything to go back to before i ever started doing this regime! seriously ppl

i would also suggest you wait until you're clear from acne to try this. it may irritate existing inflammations. because i used it while i still had mild acne and it stunnnnnng so either avoid those spots or wait until you're done. i stopped using it and a couple weeks later, i stopped getting as many pimples per breakout.. now i only get 1-2. i'm gonna wait about 2 weeks for my face to really clear up before i start using this again or i may turn to bio-oil.

When you moistureise can you use aloe vera gel? Also when you do the protein mask, do you have to use a fresh lemon or can you use the stuff in the bottle? Thanks!

Started yesterday...my face is BABY soft!

hey, i think bottle lemon is ok... i read it on when of the last posts on this thread.....not sure bout the aloe vera....

im scare bout the white bumps... i dont use the baking soda

yea the mask realllllllllly SOFTENS MY FACE!!!!!!

can you just buy the liquid eggwhites in the container at the grocery store instead of buying eggs and then whipping them yourself? Or is there a difference with the do it yourself method?

i've been using the liquid eggwhites in the container from the grocery store... it works the same... no diff... skin looks sooooooooo much softer, smoother and the red spots are slowly fading...very slowly..this is like my 2nd day using it.

I have a question: Why are we to only use egg whites? Isn't the majority of the vitamins and nutrients in the yolk, hence why it is used as a food source for the bird embryo?

I've been doing this for about 5 days and have only seen marginal improvement and I thought maybe the yolks would help.

Ok, so did anyone have good results from baking powder? I wanted to try it.

^ it has made me breakout.. im going to wait until im 100% clear (no breakouts for at least 2 weeks) to try it again.

I was talking about when you are clear.

This is great! Thanks so much for sharing this, I look forward to trying it. I just came across this website tonight and this is one of the first topics I read. I went straight out and bought lemons, baking soda and vinegar. Can't wait to see how things turn out.

i suppose its kinda annoying to keep getting egg whites separated from the yolk. unfortunately for me i dont think they sell egg yolks on their own in containers here in australia. i wanna give it a try but im scared that it might break me out coz the egg white is oily isnt it?

hye.

in my country. lemon is hard to find anywhere.

cuz there is no lemon trees in my country.

they cannot grow here actually.^^

so can any other fruits replace the lemon in making the protein mask??

meaby with orange?? or?? any suggestion??

;p

I think any citrus fruit would work. Maybe limes. Oranges and those others are probably too sweet.

citrus fruits??

whats the example??
