The reason why people circulate this is simple. The "grit" factor is very fine, and not too abasive. Also, its hard to over exfoliate when it disolves somewhat quickly.
A good substitute would be sugar - just white table sugar. Make sure not to make a mess and rinse well.

You are correct. Baking soda has a drying effect on the skin. You shouldn't use it for skin care. Just try a simple cleansing and moisterizing routine with a well-known (preferably natural) cleanser. Eventually, your skin should show signs of improvement. You should definitely check with a dermatologist to get a better answer and a definite confimation on your skin type and the best products for you.

I've never heard of it but why don't you try those patches that take black-heads out I will trust that more than baking soda

Just stick to the professional cleansers and black head removal.

It is true. If you have sensatie skin, it may be irritate a little. Use your facial lotion after, in moderation. Hope it helps you out!

I've never heard that. I know that's a good remedy for a stomach ache. Sorry I couldn't help with that one.

Maybe that's how it works, drying the blackhead.
