Baking soda on my face for acne?

I agree with Epic. See a dermatologist. Just because somebody can use these products successfully doesn't mean you can. I have rosacea, and the things people can use for common acne is the wrong thing for my skin. Take proper care of yourself and get a proper diagnosis and treatment. It's well worth it.

no, that is a really bad idea. go to a dermatologist. they will give you medication which WILL get rid of your acne. don't scar your skin trying your own remedies.

The beauty industry is a billion dollar business, they know acne is everyone's problem, but instead of saying soap is drying for you, they have to invent an acne product that can worsen the skin as MANY TEENAGERS have experienced during hormonal change, but as you get older those are completely a waste of time & money!

baking soda's great, it exfoliates your face (which helps with acne) and make your skin look better just don't over do it or it will look worse. once a week is enough. I would recommend using lemon juice as a toner daily and daily moisturizing! (oily skin especially needs to be moisturized because the gland overproduce oil when it's not hydrated enough causing pimples!) any oxy face wash is good:) and you should use a spot treatment daily! be aggressive with your skin care routine (just not with your skin) and you should see great results:) oh and another thing stress also makes your skin produce more oil which gives you acne so relax. Your doctor may be able to prescribe acne medication for you as well if necessary:)

I've used baking soda befor. It does dry the acne up somewhat, but not completely rids of it. Acne can be a b*tch, the trick is to simplify the face routine as much as possible-too much products will only continue your acne. 1. Wash face with an acne cleanser. 2. Use an Oil-Free Moisturizer (you will find different brands for this in a drugstore like Neutrogena, etc.) 3. Once a week use a mask, either store-bought or home-made. *Optional: There are acne pens out there where you put on a dab of gel on a pimple and it shrinks the pimple / dries it to make the acne go away faster. I currently use a neutrogena one and it works great! Good luck!

I use baking soda almost every day. It doesn't completly get rid of acne, no. But it does exfoliate and make your skin look really pretty. Something that might help is after you wash your face, rinse with cold water. It closes your pores. Don't worry, your not the only one feeling this way. But don't stress too much, stress is a main contributor to acne. Hope I helped!
