Wonderful exfoliating product, but be VERY gentle!
Cons:
Can be VERY irritating if you don't use it gently enough
Good product, clears flakes and dry skin. Just mix with your gentle cleanser and apply VERY gently to your face. Use feather like pressure, and use circle motions for about 30 seconds.

this stuff is fantastic!
i mixed some baking soda with a bit of water until it was paste like, put it on my face as a mask and then gently scrubbed off after 10 minutes. results were amazing after the first use..my skin was noticeably clearer!
May 27, 2013
Pros:
smoother clearer skin
blackheads reduced , pores shrunk
reduces and helps clear pimples
Cons:
can be to harsh for sensitive skin
I have now stopped buying exfoliators after discovering baking soda.
once to twice a week depending on how bad my skin is i mix it with a mild cleanser ( like cetaphil )
to exfoliate with.
After using this I find my skin softer,smoother, blackheads mildly reduced, pores shrunken.
It does leave your skin a bit red after.
I overal think that this does clear up my skin.
I havnt used it yet as a mask only exfoliator/cleanser. I also use baking soda as toothpaste . Some people probably wouldnt like the taste but I dont mind .
I think that baking soda cleans my teeth better than regular toothpaste and also leave my breath fresher and teeth whiter.

Pros:
Cheap
It works
Mix with green tea instead of water to soften the skin more in use
In just 3 weeks my skin tone and appearance of red marks has dramatically improved.
Cons:
Leaves skin a little dry afterwards but nothing that a light oil free moisturiser will not fix.
I have used a baking soda mask for about 3 weeks now. Twice a week. I did not suffer from acne but spots had begun to leave red marks on my face. I tried expensive microdermabrasion but it did nothing. After I have cleansed my face and used a facial scrub, I mix a heaped teaspoon of baking soda with some strong brewed green tea until it is slightly less consistent as toothpaste. I then very gently rub in small circles for a couple of minutes then leave on as a mask for 10 minutes before rinsing

Pros:
found in your refrigerator
easy
Cons:
doesn't work?
I use baking soda to whiten my teeth but i wouldn't use it for any other beauty trick. I have heard of some people making masks out of it but i simply don't trust putting this on my face. From what i've read it's not that effective and can cause irritation.

Pros:
Cheap
Easy
Cons:
Drying
Irritating
Causes more breakouts
I've had acne my whole you g adult life (I'm 25) and someone told me to mix a bit of honey, baking soda colloidal oatmeal and water, and that it did wonders for their skin. I found a recipe on Pinterest that I started to follow. I did this for about six weeks. It was AWFUL. It smelled terrible and gave me soo many more breakouts. It kept opening up existing ones. My derma told me it did a lot of harm to my skin. I have sensitive dry skin, very fair and break out from everything. Don't try it :(

Pros:
Clears breakouts
Chemical free
Soothing
Cons:
Not a long term solution
I figured I had nothing to lose, so I would wash my face with baking soda at night before bed. It greatly improved my skin, however after a few weeks, it stopped having results. I still recommend it however, because it is cheap and gets results.

Pros:
- reduced my pimples/blackheads/whiteheads
- started using it about 2 years ago and still use it
- really realy cheap and easy
- wiped imperfections and evenly toned my skin.
Cons:
- DO NOT USE THIS EVERYDAY. I was using it as my only skincare product, with a bit of moisturizer after, morning and night. It DRYS your skin completely. Only use as an exfoliate maybe once or twice a week
- In my long term use, my skin became noticibely lighter than my neck and chest. I received numerous comments about this, but only from people I spent like every day with (family and close friends).
- DO NOT USE EVERYDAY otherwise this may happen to you. Once of twice a week as an exfoliatio
Good for 1-2 times a week use

Pros:
baby soft skin
gets rid of dead skin
less breakouts
cheap
Cons:
tingles a little bit
dries skin
I use it to exfoliate my skin when i feel like i need it. I try to use it once every week but sometimes i forget so usually i use it twice a month. if you rub the baking soda to hard on your skin, it will hurt but if you lightly massage it in your skin, after you rinse it, your skin is like baby soft but if you don't apply a moisturizer, your skin will be so dry. after using it, my skin doesn't break out as often and it's cheap

Pros:
evened out my skin tone
reduced redness drastically
exfoliated amazingly
Cons:
stung like a b*tch!
made my chin very red (like razor burn)
I thought I'd give this a go, as my parents are out so they wouldn't see me looking stupid, and my acne had flared up overnight.
I put two teaspoons of baking soda in a small bowl and added water until it was a paste, i then rubbed it over my face, it foamed up a bit so i rubbed it down again. It started to sting after about a minute, but i stuck with it and the stinging stopped after about 5 minutes. It only stung my chin, which is where I often get razor burn after shaving, so I think they may be linked/ aggravating one another.
20 minutes later i stuck my head in a basin of warm water and rubbed all the baking soda off, i looked up into the mirror, and was so shocked! All the redness had gone out of my spots and my skin tone looked so much more even! It was fantastic! I definitely recommend this, if you can put up with the stinging it works a treat, or at least it did for me. I will definitely be continuing with this (at least as long as my parents go out regularly) :)
Pros:
Great exfoliating product
Cheap
