Baking Soda and Castor Oil
I put a mixture of Baking Soda and Castor Oil on my face to get rid of mole.
Now my face is very dry and rough looking. It's working but also causing my skin to peel and blotch a lot.
Can anyone tell me what I can use to get smooth skin again?

You might be doing it too frequently. Baking soda works marvelously when I use it in moderation. But when I am anxious about something and become obsessive, trying to make myself feel better by exfoliating soon after a previous treatment I get breakouts. We are tearing some layers of the skin when we do this. exfoliating one time or twice a week is good. Any more than that and the skin might have an adverse reaction. Hope this helped. Oh yeah, right now mys skin is almost perfect.

Exfoliating Mask
So I tried a honey and baking soda exfoliating mask tonight and can say without a doubt that baking soda is good to use when sloughing off dead skin cells. However, I read a few reviews on here and decided to use very little baking soda. You don't want to use too much of this stuff and I would consider mixing it with organic honey, or aloe vera, or something else. Its the texture of sand and rubbing that much sand on your face could take off more than your skin needed it too. I'm looking elsewhere for a pore-closing mask. If you wanted to do this stuff just to get the 'lightening' of scars benefit, I would advise you to try using a recipe with aloe vera for a few months instead.

So far so Good!
I started using Baking Soda as a Face Mask in hopes to find something inexpensive to help eliminate my breakouts and blackheads. I first put a warm cloth over my face to open the pores. If I am short on time I wet a wash cloth with warm water and dab my face. Then I pour baking soda into the palm of my hand and add warm water. Scoop up the paste and apply it in a circular motion all around my face and nose area especially around the hairline. I leave on for 10 minutes and rinse off in the shower or sink again wiping my face gently in a circular motion. When the mask is on for ten minutes I do feel a slight burn like when you apply astringent but its nothing painful or nothing that results in my face being irritated or red. The pimples that I did have started to dry up and clear away. My face does feel softer and feels clean. So far so good! I also used it in the shower for my body and my skin feels great!

Pros:
-Seems to get a lot of good reviews
-Leaves skin feeling smoother
Cons:
-your acne may be red after you remove the mask
-you may not like the results at first but you have to be patient!
It really does work. Although, your skin will be redder after you remove the mask. You need to be patient and wait, within an hour your skin should feel better, as well as look better. The key is patience. ****
Again, this is my opinion, MY skin was redder after I removed it, but feel free to try it out yourself. :)

Pros:
- Leaves skin soft
- Removes make-up
- Easy clean up if done correctly
Cons:
- Can burn
- Can cause redness
- Can irritate acne
To anyone who has sensitive skin, try to saturate the soda with more water and only spot treat the acne.

-inexpensive and easy to use
Cons:

-creates redness
I use baking soda in mask form and it works alright for me! It does make my pimples a little more noticeable sometimes but the baking soda stops the pimple in its tracks. Make sure you get the right consistency so it's not too watery. I like this product but only every so often. Not everyday! Way to harsh for that.

Pros:
easy to make
cheap
Cons:
it stings but definitely it's worth it!
i have an acne vulgaris for nearly a month now...im 24 and got this nasty break outs! so when i came across this site i was wondering if this thing could lessen my worries... as i look onto the mirror, my zits started to "pop up" on its own! yeah! i was amazed seeing those pus came out on my skin! i use as a scrub with my facial wash (panoxyl) and an overnight mask mixed with my moisturizer... i think it helped a bit to heal my acne..

Pros:
exfoliates well, cheap
Cons:
can irritate skin, I didn't see a dramatic difference in my acne. I think coffee grounds work as well or better w/out messing w/ skin ph
I still use this if it's all I have to exfoliate with, but it hurts my face if left on for very long at all--and my skin is not sensitive. I think it's too basic for skin. Saw no miracle with acne.

Pros:
Cheap & easy
Makes pores vanish
Cons:
Not as good as I'd hoped!
Most people keep talking about how they got immediate results, or how their skin felt really smooth afterwards . . . honestly, I've been using it for a few weeks, and the only improvement I've noticed is that it makes my pores much smaller and helps shrink some pimples. But the pore-shrinking only lasts a few hours at most, and the pimples take so long to vanish that I'm really not sure if it's the baking soda or just time. However, my skin is actually pretty good, so maybe you just need more severe acne to see results. I'd recommend it on the sole basis that a lot of people did see results, though I didn't.
Pros:
easy on the pocket book
not harsh on skin
many other uses
