Baking Soda

Baking Soda is an inexpensive way to keep acne under control.

It's inexpensive and effective, not to mention SAFE. The prescription I was using contained antibiotic ointment mixed with benzoyl peroxide. It bleached everything I came in contact with and caused my skin to peel. Leave it to the FDA to approve this garbage. My morning / evening routine: Wash face as I normally would...I use Arbonne products. Follow by making a 3:1 paste of baking soda and water, in the palm of my left hand. Apply to face and neck using right hand. Let dry on face for 5 min. Wet hands with warm water and massage in circular motion. Rinse well. My skin cleared after 3 days...continues to be clear except the occasional blemish. I will keep baking soda in my medicine cabinet until the day I die.

Just make sure you use it right: 1. mix baking soda with enough water to just make a paste. 2. ONLY use as a wash, not a mask, or it will dry out your face and leave it peeling, blotchy and red. 3. make sure you use a good moisturizer after! This is the most important, because you don't want to dry out your face. I recommend you use this once a day, only at night, after washing your face with a facial cleanser. I've used so many different store bought products, and none work. Please try this using the directions above; if you do, your face will not be harmed, so you have nothing to loose except your acne! Just make sure to use as a paste ONLY, NEVER DRY BAKING SODA! And use a moisturizer after, preferably one that doesn't clog pores, like an Aveeno product. I use both moisturizer and cleanser from Aveeno.

I have tried EVERYTHING including different prescription pills, creams, gels, face washes, special soaps and NOTHING has worked as well as using a baking soda paste on my face every morning and before I go to bed at night. My skin has cleared up more in 2 days than it ever has with anything else. I rub in on and work it into my skin for a few seconds and rinse it off right away. Face feels smooth and soft!

Baking soda is great to exfoliate n soften your skin. I feel like it helps to keep my acne away and helps it heal faster when I do get breakouts. You can make a paste with peroxide or vinegar to deep clean your pores- I wouldn't do it every day tho-every other day or a few times a week is best for me.

This is the best thing for those big zits or spots that you want to go away before they start, or if they are just growing. It is definitly better than benzol peroxide because that drys out your face. And it is better than salytic acid, because all that does is burn away thin layers of skin on your face sometimes making zits worse. Baking soda is whats up.

I think everyone should try baking soda.. First, mis baking soda with water then rub it on your face... after 3 minutes or 2, wash your face.. Me I use lemon juice after using it and it works great!! No more breakouts for me.... even my pores get smaller..

THIS STUFF IS CHEAP AND WORKS BETTER THAN ANYTHING IVE EVER USED! HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU.

Still love it for evening mask. I have not just washed my face with it, but it does clear up the pimples that I have. IT seems to exfoliate very well on me and leaves my skin soft and youthful. Absolutely love it.

I love this method. FYI don't use it too often (once a week)or keep it on too long (30-45secs). I also use tea tree oil as a moisturizer which is helping with the blemish marks.
