    You're freakin' kidding me, right? After all the time, effort and money I have spent trying to tame my tempremental skin, the thing that whips it into shape is baking soda?? I get great results...

    I was amazed at how happy I was with using this as an exfoliant! I mixed it with Cetaphil and it made for the cleanest, gentlest facial scrub I've ever used. I applied moisturizer right afterward...

    I used this for awhile, I love how "fine" the texture is when mixed with my cleanser. However, after I had completed my weekly home facial, my face was burned -- like a really bad sunburn that...

    I do like using baking soda as a scrub and used it for years but I also like to use plain old sugar as a scrub. Just make sure you don't get it too wet or it melts away. I will also try the...

    Baking soda and water is a great alkalizing mixture for your face. I applied it - 1 tsp in hand with some water, and splashed my face with it. It dries up the oilyness. As an exfoliant, make...

    I can't say I have ever used baking soda on my face, but I do know that using it on toothpaste makes for a great white smile. I don't use this anymore, but I have tried it many times in the past....

    The first time I used baking soda as a scrub, I loved the results. It was gentle, easy to rinse off, and my skin felt so soft and smooth. By the next morning, however, my face was itchy and...

    I use this on my hair about every other week. I moved to a new town to go to grad school, and I guess my hair doesn't like the water here (I hear there's a lot of calcium in it?). For a while it...

    My dermatologist freaked out when I told him I heard Baking Soda could be used as a face exfoliant. He even requested (and I gave him) Paula Beugoun (sps) website so he could follow up. He told me...

    I've tried a few microdermabrasion home kits (L'oreal, Dermanew) and baking soda is just as good, if not better. The grains are small and really deep clean you skin, and it also seems to desolve...

    This is great for a gentle exfoliant. I mix this in with any of my cleansers and it does a wonderful job of turning it into an exfoliant as well. Cheap as chips!
