Baking Soda Acne Treatment
A lot of people are asking about the connections of baking soda to pimples. Well then this article will answer that question. Yes, you can treat pimples with the help of baking soda. And yes, I am speaking from personal experience. Following are some home acne treatments for baking soda.
Baking soda face mask
Baking soda acne treatment is actually very effective. You can start creating paste through baking soda and water mixture. This is applied directly to the skin and left there for the next ten to fifteen minutes. This cleans off dirt from the skin and allows for a fresher looking facial surface. 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. Rubbing towel on your skin is also not a good idea. Instead, you should gently dab on your skin until it is completely dry.
Spot treatments
Now this method of baking soda acne treatment is pretty much the same with the first one. However, what you do is place the paste on the pimple itself. Using warm water, this can be removed the following morning. Baking soda basically dries out the skin and removes the trapped oil in the pores. Again, use a clean towel for drying.
Baking soda and scars
Most believe that baking soda has the capacity to remove scars. Although I have not seen this result in my case, some people do swear by this method.
Trying it out first
If you have sensitive skin, you might first want to skip this method. To test, try placing baking soda paste on the inside of your wrist. Wait for a few minutes first. If you notice any unnatural redness or itchiness on that area, then skip the whole baking soda routine and find another option.
If you’re allergic, then there are some other acne treatments you can try. Some of these include toothpaste, pumpkin and even garlic. Garlic and pumpkin are very effective face masks. They also double as scar removers so it’s a win-win situation. Placing toothpaste on the pimple is also effective.
Remember that these methods don’t work super fast. However, by sticking to just one routine, then you’ll be able to find out if the method really works. Also, don’t forget to lie an active and healthy lifestyle. This will supply your skin with the necessary nutrients to keep it healthy. Wash your face daily and never forget to remove make up before going to bed.
