Do you hate having acne prone skin? Do continuously look around for new products to help keep your face clear? Why not take the time and use baking soda for your acne problem? You don't have anything to lose. Now don't think I'm crazy. It's very cheap and it's readily available almost anywhere. On top of that it gets the job done! I'm no dermatologist but I know results when I see them. You might be wondering if all you really need is baking soda. To be truthful, you need two ingredients to make it work. Don't fret or anything, the second ingredient is simple tap water. Now some people think you also need to apply Apple Cider Vinegar to your face as a toner as well, but more about that later. All that is necessary is you mix the baking soda and the water into a paste. Make sure the paste is thick enough to stick to your face but loose enough to spread across your skin easily. You want it to gently exfoliate your skin while you apply it, so making it to runny or to thick will defeat the purpose. Don't worry to much in trying to get the perfect consistency, it will work well no matter what. Gently apply the paste to your face. Personally I apply it using small circles as they help me maintain a very gentle touch throughout the process. It may sting the first few times you use this on your face. This goes away as your skin get's used to it. If instead you find your face burning, make sure you're didn't use baking powder instead of baking soda. They are two entirely different products. Anyways after letting it do it's magic, you'll want to rinse your face off pretty thoroughly. As I mentioned previously, you might want to use Apple Cider Vinegar as a toner. This is because your skin has a natural pH balance that is unbalanced when using a strong base such as baking soda. All you would need to do is make a mix of about 70% water and 30% ACV and splash that on your face after you've rinsed the baking soda off. This mask tends to dry at your face, more so at the beginning and then it tapers off after using it for a while. So like I always say, moisturize. Even if you tend to have oily skin, you'll want to lightly moisturize just in case. Also, if this is agreeable with your skin, try not to overdo it in the first month. Keep it to a maximum of 3 times a week until you notice your skin has adapted to it. Don't worry if you do go overboard, your skin will just be a little more dry than normal. The total cost of using baking soda for acne? Less than a dollar if you use just the baking soda and only about $6 if you follow my suggestion of using apple cider vinegar as a toner. Try using it today and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. About the Author: If you want some more information, check out baking soda for acne.
