Baking Soda

Myself and my two teenagers don't go in the bathroom without it. My fourteen year old son had a really bad acne problem - the doctor was afraid it will scar, so he gave us this very expensive cream that only dried terribly his skin and nothing much. Then we discovered the baking soda. We use it differently though: Wet washcloth with water rub some pure unscented soap like Dove, or I use Castile bar soap, sprinkle some baking soda on top, and rub your face, rinse. The redness and acne is all gone, and we all have baby skin. We also use it for body wash, and my sixteen year old daughter amazes all her friends with her silky, soft and shiny hear (you guess the secret - baking soda)! It washes away all dead skin, and any accumulated gunk. Diluted vinegar can be used for a rinse to restore the PH balance. Give it a chance - we use it for about three months now. The initial dryness goes away, leaving clean and perfect skin!

it can't be that bad just to try at least as spot treatment.

just add a tiny bit of water to baking soda and then apply it to your face. leave it on for about five minutes and wash off. it leaves the skin feeling soft and refreshed. It may also heal scars.

It worked pretty well, I made amask from egg whites and b aking soda and applied for about ten minutes. It itched and irritated scabs so I would not reccommend putting it on healing areas but other than that it worked great. I put it on for ten minutes before bed and when I washed it off nothing looked that different but the next morning my slin still felt soft and refreshed, some of my major scars had faded and it was like my pores werent even there, you could barely even see them, a vast improvement!

I didnt give this enough time on my first review. After a little over a week, I can confidently say that my skin is looking clearer than it has in a while. I am also getting compliments from family and friends on how much better my skin is looking. I think the key is not to give up on it after just a few days, my skin looked the same if not worse after the first few days, but I continued and got great results. I mix with water then leave it on for about 5 minutes or until dry. Give it a try, if it worked for me it can work for anybody.

I really wanted this to work as I was going to take a natural approach to treating my acne.. (have since started doxycycline) Bummer I have sensitive skin and could only handle it on my face for couple of minutes or it starts burning and irritating the skin.. Drops all over the floor when it starts to dry.. My advice is "Get something that works"

The beginning of this summer I wanted to do something with my Acne Scars and Red Marks. So I searched on the internet for home remedies and I keep coming back to this site. I decided to get the baking soda a try. I started using Baking Soda in June and now it's July. I finally have skin that I have dreamed of back when I was in middle school. No more red marks and acne scars are almost gone. Even my mom notice a HUGE difference. She wasn't happy that I kept on taking her baking soda but once I explained to her she was really happy about it. I'll use the baking soda first as a scrub, then I'll use liquid hand soap, then I use St. Ives face lotion. I'll continue to do this for the rest of my life. After years of fighting acne in elementary, middle and high school; I have finally won the fight. I use this every single day and I LOVE IT!!!!

I just used this after washing with a acne face scrub then applied the baking soda with warm water. then i rinsed with warm water then cool water to close pores. lastly i applied coco butter lotion to face instad of mostrizer and it worked wonders.

For some, may work. Well, obviously it does for some. Give it a try, you never know. Right now I am using a NEW clearisal product(face wash) and it is working great!!!Also the Pears soap from the dollar store!!!!!! This whole baking soda thing hasn't worked for me.

I usually wet my face with warm water then scrub some baking soda to my face. I do this daily before bath. I have sensitive skin though, that's why mild massage is required. Then I apply PONDs Whitening Fluid and vit. E oil before going to bed. After a week, I noticed my face has become clearer and smooth. Baking soda rocks! A must have in the kitchen or beauty kit.
