Is it true that baking soda and face wash works as a great acne preventer?

Question

I was watching this show with this one girl. She says her makeup artist told her that baking soda and your face wash that you use mixed together will wipe away your blemishes over night. TRUE?

Answer 1

Baking soda can be harsh for the face and it might suck out the oils from your face. You want to deal with the acne, not loose all natural oils from your face.

Your dermatologist can prescribe Tretinoin/Tretinoid. This is a topical derivative of Vitamin A and it's effective at diminishing and erasing dark spots/scars. It’s the best product against acne. Apply is at night and it will control the growth of new acne. You will see improvements within 3-4 days. It’s a fraction of that other product advertised on the TV (you know the one I’m talking about).

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

Answer 3

Baking Soda is very harsh on the face if used more than once a week. Did it once and won't be doing it again anytime soon. If you're interested in getting rid of blemishes try Tea Tree Oil and OCM.

Answer 4

Useing baking soda could dry out your face and make your skin more irratated. Try neutragena two in one, it's cheap ($7), lasts a long time (about three months), and cleared up my face in a month.

Answer 5

baking soda works very well to get rid of pimples. this is why people are advised to put toothpaste on their pimples. it's the baking soda in the toothpaste that makes it work, so just using plain baking soda would probably work even better!
