Baking Soda

i have had bad acne on my chin and around my mouth for about a year now. i am now in 9th grade and people make fun of it and my self esteem has been destroyed. i looked on here at what has gotten good reviews and i saw this did. i went and made a paste and applied it. i left it on for about 1 minute then washed it off. this morning i noticed an improvement in the 2 biggest pimples. i applied it again but left it on for 10 minutes and then washed it off. i hope this works because i have tried so much like acnefree and mychelle products as well as neutrogena and proactiv. I cant say wether it works or not but so far it has given me hope. i suggest giving it a try.

Good for 1-2 times a week use

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!

I've been reading so many good things about using baking soda so I thought I would give it a try. It's to early for me to tell how well it will work but I have faith! I used it last night and this morning mixed in with my Mary Kay deep cleansert and then I used it tonight as a paste with water. It burned a little especially on my lower jaw where I am broken out, but it's ok now. I applied mosturizer afterwards but no salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide as usual, I dont want to mix the two. I'm hoping to see some good results when I wake up in the morning! I will keep posting!

When I get a horrendous breakout I use a baking soda face mask for 5 minutes, before bed, and when I wake up in the morning the spots are virtually gone! Despite this I would be careful because baking soda is gritty it can irritate the skin causing greater oil production. Because of this, I only save it for extreme breakouts.

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

Every other day, I add baking soda to my non-medicated facial soap. It exfoliates and leaves my skin feeling smoother and cleaner. The best part is that it can be added to any non-medicated, mild cleanser for exfoliating purposes. It's better than the "microbeads" found in most drugstore scrubbers, and is gentler than your standard apricot scrub. I've never tried a baking soda mask but I think it works great at scrubbing off dry, dead skin.

I find that this is extremely efficient at clearing my blackheads on my nose. I see results every time I use it. I think it might be just my sensitive skin, but after a few uses, I started getting pimples on my nose where I was applying the baking soda. I kept going however, as I figured that would be a temporary tradeoff for clearing my skin. When I stopped, however, my blackheads started coming back. So, for me at least, this works, but only with continued use.

I just started using the baking soda mixed with water making a paste two times a day about two days ago. I started using the baking soda to get rid of my very dark acne scars. They have not faded but my skin feels alot softer. Some acne bumps have gone down. I had so many blackheads on my nose and already I see them clearing. I think thats pretty good for just using this for 2 days. After two weeks or so i will report back.
