Baking Soda

I use this about 2-3 times a week. Most people mix it with water but I use it with olive oil . I leave it on my face for about 10 minutes than I dab water on my face and rub in the baking soda.wash it off and your done. Baking soda has a million different uses this is just one!

Make sure you use this one your face for only a couple of minutes, otherwise your face will get very red and your skin might react.

At first, it was great. all of my many blackheads were gone. I used this stuff as a mask, mixing it with my mask acne treatment. I left it on overnight once for about 5 hours and all was well. However, when I accidentally left it on for like 10 hours because I fell asleep with it on my face and I didn't have any initiative to wake up early, it left my skin extremely dry and irritate with a rash like/extra dry like feeling on my skin. But this isn't like some terrible horrible burn, its only something I notice because it is my face. Do not judge, I really didn't mean to leave it on my skin for that long. I have tried to find out what will happen to my face because of this, but I have found no answers online. no one has said anything about the aftermath of a baking soda burn. So if I can, I will post in update to see how this all plays out. If my face heals, I will probably change my ratings to 5-stars because it DID get rid of my blackheads, and I had ALOT of them. little blackheads were literally taking over my face.. but within 3 days this product cleared all of them up, which I haven't been able to do for months. USE IN MODERATION! update: skin healed :) good as new but with less pimples.

I have had problem acne for ages, clearing up only two-three months ago after seeing my Dermatologist. I was left with scarring, dark scars and some small indents that you can't really see at all until you are looking in the mirror closely, however, I confronted my Dermatologist about what I could do to get rid of the scars, and he said I looked just fine. (WHATEVER!) And that I didn't have any. (Oh, well. Still my semi-hero for at least he got rid of the dang zits) So, I found this, and tried it out. I was AMAZED at how much dead skin came off my face as I *gently* (keyword) rubbed the Baking Soda on my face. I have been doing it religiously for the last few months now, and I am seeing a difference, but it does make my face slightly red, but I am as sensitive as sensitive gets (pale-redhead) I still have little the little indents and pigment problems in a few places, but they would be a heck lot worse without this. I recommend it.

I've had acne since I was in 5th grade and now I'm a senior graduating from high school. I've tried tons of products, neutrogena, clean and clear, clearasil, the acne regimen, kavi products, and lots more. All those products are good, but their expensive and I wasn't sure if their extensive ingredient list would be good for my skin in the long run. Well I tried baking soda and I LOVE IT! My acne is so much better I don't need to use foundation other than on a couple spots. I wash my face lightly with the baking soda (like a scrub), and then leave a mask on twice a week or on problem spots for about ten min and then wash it off. I highly recommend giving baking soda a try, all you have to lose is 59 cents but it might make a huge difference!

i tried a bunch of different things but none work as well as this, i wasnt sure it would work at first but i know firsthand that it work great

I'm one of those people who keep changing their regimen a lot, but i'm really trying to stick with this. I used to have moderately severe acne and yogurt(plain, mask everyday) got rid of that, but I still had marks and I would always get random pimple breakouts, and yogurt wasn't helping anymore (overused it). Anyways... here's is my new regimen and it's working really well:) - I mix in the baking soda in my cleanser(organic black african soap from ghana/cheap on e b a y) about 2-3 days out of a week (for morning and night/ sometimes only morning or only night. - I mix it in by getting a really good lather out of my face bar, then put some baking soda in my hands (about 2 quarters sized) and then scrub my hands together for a bit and then clean my face with that. - At night I put on lemon juice (from the bottles, I don't dilute it, but if you have sensitive skin it's 50/50 with water) - After the lemon juice dries I put on a homemade vitamin C lotion/serum(google it, it's just crushed vit c's with moisturizer) the best way would be to get L-ascorbin acid powder and mix it w/ water but till I get that i'll use vitamin c pills. Put only a THIN layer, this will burn a lot(the more you use it the less it burns) I DON'T recommend for sensitive skin unless you buy the powder and go slowly. - After the serum dries I put on emu oil THIN layer. REMEMBER : the less of things you put on your skin the better. Less will always be more. Good luck :)

I use this every other day mixed with Cetaphil as a gentle manual scrub. My skin glows and is so soft afterwards.

I'm making cream like consistency out of soda and fresh orange juice and tap taping it into my T zone with contour brush (if I go outside T zone, my skin around is burned). I'm very satisfied by seeing 50% improvement of presence of my nasty pores just in couple of minutes :-)

I used it only once overnight. And I noticed a dramatic difference in pimple swelling and redness. I used a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda because I learned that the acidity in lemons help fight Bacteria and also help lighten the skin. So I applied the baking soda lemon juice mixture as a mask overnight and my skin is alot smoother and more radiant. And the pimple size went down. I'm definitely using this again ^_^
