What is in baking soda that might help acne?  

Baking soda is a natural substance called sodium bicarbonate. Many products that we clean with actually have baking soda in them because they remove the debris off the item being cleaned. Baking soda is a physical exfoliate meaning it just removes things it is not a cleanser. Baking soda is natural so it will not kill bacteria. So, if you will the baking soda acne treatment removes the dead skin cells off the skin, preparing the skin for further treatment. 

How to use baking soda acne treatment? 

Spot Mask: Turn the baking soda into a paste by mixing it with water. Next, apply to the acne-affected area. You are actually exfoliating the area. Wash the paste off after about five minutes. Your skin is left clean and ready for a topical treatment to be applied, which will kill the bacteria, and heal the acne. 

Scrub: Mix the baking soda and water to form the paste. Next, apply the paste the affected area, but instead of leaving the paste on the area for 5-20 minutes, gently rub the paste into the area in a circular motion. Next, wash the area clear of the paste and apply your topical treatment to kill the bacteria from the acne. 

Possible problems with baking soda acne treatment:

• Baking soda is harsh chemical
• You may end up with burning of the skin or tingling sensations (if this happens wipe off immediately, and discontinue use)
• You may have a reaction which could include red, inflamed areas of the skin

Baking soda acne treatments are not intended for the elimination of all acne on the face. The goal of the baking soda acne treatment is to basically exfoliate the acne area leaving the area ready for additional treatment. Do not use a mask of baking soda acne treatment for the whole face. Use this treatment as a spot treatment and never leave applied more than 20 minutes.
