just ok Comments By: ciara mcalinden it was messy and made my skin feel soft after words it was ok   awesome Comments By: dana As a pro-make up artist...this left my skin feeling smoothe and awesome!   I like it Comments By: Sara I heard that the baking soda may help to dry out blackheads so they will pop out easier when you squeeze them. I tried and it somewhat worked. But it really does make your skin feel smoother and exfoliated.   Love it! Comments By: Anne I tried it, and I loved it!!!   Removes Pimples Too Comments By: Adjoa Also just dab a bit on your spots daily and leave for 10-25 minutes and in a week or so your face will be pimple free. (From sugar magazine) I tried and it worked!   Been doing this for years.. Comments By: Crystal and it's fantastic! I do it daily, by using my facial cleanser with baking soda mixed in. Also - scrub your skin with baking soda and shower gel in the shower before shaving - best shave ever!   It Was Great Comments By: Alyce At first i thought it wouldn't work then when i tryed it it was great. it really worked for me so i reackon it to all the girls out there.   Ace!! Comments By: anon I just did it this minute and thought it was really brillant, It did make my face a little red, but wasn't sore. Its definatly worth a try. :D its wonderful   Best thing I've ever done for my skin Comments By: Tammy Lemke As a professional, I've done it all. Microdermabrasion, peels, Retinol. I saw Queen Latifa said on E! one time her grandmother taught her to do this....I tried it. Your skin feels so soft and smoothe. It exfoliates gently, but not too large of abrasive...very micro. And it doesnt leave your skin feeling so dry. I have since practically eliminated an acne problem I've experienced off and on as an adult for years due to hormones, chid bearing, poor diet....cokes...! My skin looks better than ever and people are actually asking me what I have been doing!   OUTSTANDING!!!! Comments By: Jessica It was quick,easey,and it wasn't messey. I loved it my skin feels a millon times better!!   Best Exfoliator Ever! Comments By: Anon I tried this recipe about 10 minutes ago and my skin feels soft and silky smooth! Why pay for expensive treatments when you can just use this? It doesn't get any easier than this!   Some rednwss, but worked great! Comments By: Liz I just did it and I am tickeled pink, or rather red! Besides the reddening effect, my skin is softer and smoother!   It tastes bad but works great!! Comments By: Anon Im sixteen and i have a hard time finding good stuff to wash my face with but this is simple and it works! Just don't get it in your mouth. Haha   baking soda facial exfoliant Comments By: anon Fantastic, natural product that you can count on, the result was great and the added cost of expensive microderm scrub has been eliminated. This tip saves money. It helps to know what the ingreds are also. Its a safe approach to skin care.   Love it Comments By: C.M from N.Y. I suffer from Acne Prone skin...I am African American and anything I put on my face usually makes it beet red! I was skeptical about using the paste but I put it on my face and it felt wonderful, it was very smooth. I rinsed it off and I thought ehh...its alright, but when I woke up in the morning, my face was soooo smooth and glowing. (My face is usually very oilly when I wake up). Not only is baking soda inexpesive, it works like a charm!   this is cool Comments By: Ez this is fab, Ive done it about 3 times now and all my zits have just about cleared up, my skin is really soft and smooth, this eezy peezy recipe is cheap and works wonders... thanx   love it Comments By: cbeck i love this it works great, i like to use it in the shower,i feel like i have been to a spa.   Great For Blackheads Comments By: Rosie Mix with lemon juice and apply as a face pack for up to 10 mins. This worked great for my teenage daughter when she had blackheads.   WOW! Comments By: Amanda I was a bit sceptical @ first because I thought as a 16 year old black british I didnt think it'd work on my skin type. I've just tried it and OMG It's absolutely fantastic! My face and hands have never felt smoother! No more trips to Boots to by products coz I've got mine right here!   Great Comments By: Anon I firstly massage Olive Oil into my face first (to dissolve wax deposits in black heads) and then use the bicarbonate of soda as a face pack over the top and leave for 10 mins. Afterwards the Olive Oil is completely removed by the bicarbonate of soda after a rinse with warm water and your blackheads are seriously given a cleanout. GREAT!   AWESOME Comments By: DANA I TRIED IT YESTERDAY AFTER READIND THIS ARTICLES,I FOUND IT EASY PRACTICAL. IT MADE MY SKIN SOFT AND CLEAR. IT'S AWESOME.   Love it!
