Baking Soda

mix 1tbs of baking soda with 2tbs of water and scrub on for 1 min, then wash off, put lotion on right after (baking soda can make dry patches without lotion), makes skin really soft and acne free... i found that i have to use it everyday for it to work.

Hii x] Used this every morning. Apply water to make a paste and leave on only for about two minutes as skin will become very dry! This is great but if used too often can be quite harmful!

Love it!. Worked like a dream for me. I don't use it as a mask, I just mix it with some water and use it as a regular facial cleaner. This way, it doesn't stay on my face long enough to dry it out significantly but still leaves behind great results. Highly recommened using this as a facial cleanser.

I just go in the bath, mix with water to create a paste and leave on for around 10 mins then wash off. After i get out i just put some lotion on and go to bed. In the morning i was like wow! But im not going to do it too much cause i hear it can be really bad for you.

I've spent so much $$$ on different products that I pretty much gave up 3 years ago. Nothing worked at all, most of them just made my skin dry or more irritated, and I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide (which didn't work anyway). Recently I was wondering if there was a way to at least fade the left over red marks and I read that baking soda was a home remedy. I thought I'd give it a try since I had nothing to lose. I sloppily rubbed some half-expired baking soda on my face during my bath and the next day my marks were already half as light. I heard that some people leave it on at a mask but then it burns your skin so I don't leave it on (plus I am too lazy anyway). I just massage it into my skin after washing my face normally with gentle normal soap. Then I thoroughty rinse it off after a minute. I've only done this every other day for 6 days (so a total of 3 times) and my marks are about 90% faded.

I had this triangular, concentrated area full of cysts that were purple and I have tried everything from hydrocortisone to betadine, nothing works BETTER than this. In about 20 mins, the purple marks were noticeably paler. Since I just started, I don't know how long it would take to completely clear everything so will keep posting.

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!

I've used this on and off over this year but obviously find it's most effective when I'm consistent. At first, I could only use it once a day or less due to dryness, but now I used it as my main cleanser, about 10-12 out of 14 cleanses per week. Just shake a bit into your palm, add a few drops of water and mix with your finger. Scrub in circular motions on your face and then wash off. It makes my skin feel very smooth to the touch after I use it and it's helping clear my purple scars a bit. But the best part is how much it cleared the black heads on my nose. It took awhile, maybe a month or more but I don't really get them anymore- and my nose was completely covered in them. I gave it a four instead of five because it hasn't cleared my scars as much as I thought and it doesn't prevent all of new pimples.

when I say lighten scars it takes about for me about 3 weeks because my scars are pretty dark... just imagine a few drops of soy sauce in a beige cloth... also my pimples are moderate, mostly under the surface but not the type where the puss can be seen so yeah baking soda helps the puss go up and then I squeeze it the right way (FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE) I know you might react thats not good to squeeze it but it works for me cuz it left a lil to nothing scar... when i say lil its like period.. by the way I am kinda tann ish asian... it felt tingly for me and did not dry my skin cuz I WEAR A MOISTURIZER after which is very important for my combination oily skin... if your not sure how your skin might react to baking soda...do this at night and you should just wear for a MAX OF 10 MINS! no more... for a week or 3 days then its up to you after that... How I do it is use a (Purpose) cleanser WITHOUT salicylic and benzoyl peroxide... 2 times if i have make up on... then baking soda mask (mixture of Baking soda and water)... then moisturizer or your basic acne treatment... that's all people... GOODLUCK! WISH you all well...

I love using baking soda as a mask, just mix a little water in you hand and then just put it on you face. It's really easy and it works. It can burn/tingle a little but I have sensative skin. Also if the "mask" is on the dryer side it may crumble a bit..I like to do it in the tub so if it does drip or flake it won't be a problem.
