Baking Soda

Basically, this stuff works great. it's an absolutely fantastic exfoliator that's still really gentle on the skin =) it helped my body acne a whole lot as well as my facial acne. (scars too!) and it's really nice to rub your arm and be like..."woah...that's really soft o_O" Also, it's uber cheap, for the people like us who can't afford spend like 20$ on a cleanser >.>...yeap..

This is the best thing that has helped my acne. i mix water with the baking soda to make a paste then leave it on my face for about 2 minutes... then wash it off you should definately try this it helps so much!

Baking soda has been the only product I have found that has worked for my skin. I have struggled with acne for the last 10 years and have finally found something that works. My face appears a lot clearer and cleaner and feels amazingly soft. My spots are starting to fade after a month of using it, even my scars appear less obvious. It may take a while to notice a real difference if you have moderate to severe acne like mine but you well difinitely see changes in your skin even after the first use. I both mix with water to form a thick paste to use as a mask or spot treatment and mix it with cetaphil to form a very gentle face wash which also removes all make up. Everyone is different so it may not work for you but as it is so cheap and easy to use its worth a try.

Seriously, use baking soda. It's super-cheap and very effective. What I do is, @ night, take a little Baking soda, add water until it feels smooth, pat on face, LIGHTLY rub, then wash off in shower. Btw, good as a mask too. Just leave it on for like 15 min., can add honey or more water if it is too strong.

LOVE IT! found solutions to the cons.First keep a small container with baking soda in bathroom, wet face first with warm water, dip fingers in baking soda, clean entire face. To help with the drying effects of baking soda I use pure honey (Make sure it's pure and doesn"t have corn syrup added) as an after wash. Just put a quarter size amount in your hand, rub al over face, let sit a minute or two and rinse off. I follow up with cold water rinse to close pours. Makes Skins glow, even has deminished lines, scars and wrinkles!

Today I used baking soda on my face for the first time. I'm very pleased and even surprised with the results! I used about 1/4 teaspoon and ran the water enough into my palm to get a good paste going (note: this was a very thin paste--I didn't want to over do it) and gently rubbed it around my face with my fingers. When I noticed skin balling up and literally just peeling off of my face, I got a rag with cold water on it and gently rubbed my face. Then I rinsed. I had no idea that baking soda would exfoliate my skin! My skin looks and feels beautiful. And clean! Baking soda is now a permanent part of my beauty regimen.

I first steamed my face over boiling water (10-15 min) to open and loosen my clogged pores, then applied the baking soda mask... I've done this only 3 times and my pores are smaller and the fine bumps are disappearing

Works amazing! I just used it for the first time today and I have already noticed that the size and redness of my acne is reduced. I have been battling moderately severe acne for years now and nothing has worked. Proactive, Clean and Clear, Clearasil, nothing worked. Baking Soda and water works amazingly. It did cause some skin irritation, while having the mask on it did sting a bit, and after washing it off, it looked like a had a sunburn on my nose, cheeks, and forehead. I followed up with a very light moisterizer to cool off the redness and that did the trick.

I had acne in my teens which cleared up with birth control. But now that in in my 20's and I aknowledge hormonal BC doesn't work for my body in other ways and therefore quit, I developed adult acne on my cheeks, jawline, chest and back. But I'm so stoked. This past month and a half I've been using a pasty solution of baking soda and fractionated coconut oil. My goodness its made all the difference. My skin in less irritated and red, (probably because I no longer use harsh over the counter cleansers and spot treatments,) less clogged with sebum, and noticably smoother in appearance. Baking soda has cleansed while the coconut oil has moisturized. And I have incredibly oily skin! I've noticed that while using "dermatologist tested/recommended" products my skin over produced oil and therefore my pores became uncomfortably clogged and acne ridden. Thnks, corporate, capitalistic America. But with a home-mixed concoction of coconut oil and baking soda used as both a scrub every night and mask every so often, my skin has been restored to equilibrium. It's happy. Also, staying hydrated makes a difference. Please, I implore you, give this ago for at least a month. Be sure to mix in A LOT of baking soda for it's a very fine textured exfoliant. You need a lot relative to the amount of fractionated coconut oil you need to produce a balanced solution. I wish you good luck and happy skin :)

It works. It REALLY works. I tried this immidiately after i saw the remedy and went to bed. The next morning i had the cleanest and smoothest skin ive ever seen on my face. The only bad thing is that it can irritate your skin for about an hour or so if you use too much of it at once.
