Acne And Baking Soda
A lot of people have been asking if baking soda can really be a treatment for acne. Well then this article will answer that question. Yes, baking soda is an effective pimple treatment. And most of these are from personal experience. Here are some baking soda options as home acne remedies.
Baking soda as face mask
Baking soda acne treatment is actually very effective. Most people combine the powder with water to make a paste. The paste is then placed on the skin for fifteen minutes. When removed using warm water, not only does it clean the skin but leaves it much softer and fresh looking. You can do this four times every week, preferably done before going to sleep. Of course, like other home acne remedies, it is important to first wash your face before proceeding. Don’t rub towel on your skin. Instead, you should gently dab on your skin until it is completely dry.
Baking soda for specific areas
This baking soda acne cure doesn’t differ too much with a face mask. However, what you do is place the paste on the pimple itself. This can be left overnight and removed with warm water in the morning. What this does is removes the oils on the skin by drying them out. Again, a clean towel is necessary to pat dry.
Baking soda and scars
Most believe that baking soda has the capacity to remove scars. Most people are very adamant about the truthfulness of this method.
Testing Baking Soda
People who have sensitive skin are not advised to use this acne treatment method. To test, try placing baking soda paste on the inside of your wrist. Let it stay there for some time. Look for another alternative if your skin starts to itch or become reddish.
There are still other methods you might want to try if you are allergic to baking soda. You can try checking out pumpkin, garlic or even toothpaste. The latter two can be used as face mask at most three times each week. They can also take care of any lingering scars. You can also place toothpaste directly on the pimple.
Keep in mind that these remedies may take time to be effective. However, if you stay on the routine, then you’ll find out if they really work for you. Also, don’t forget to lie an active and healthy lifestyle. This will keep your skin healthy from the inside. Don’t forget to remove make up and wash your face daily.
