Most people are doubtful when it comes to baking soda as an acne treatment. Well then it’s time to end the debate. Yes, you can treat pimples with the help of baking soda. And yes, I am speaking from personal experience. Here are some baking soda options as home acne treatments.

As a face mask

Baking soda acne treatment is one of the most effective yet simple acne remedies today. You can start creating paste through baking soda and water mixture. The paste is then placed on the skin for fifteen minutes. This cleans off dirt from the skin and allows for a fresher looking facial surface. This should be done four times a week, preferably at night. Of course, like other home acne remedies, you must first wash your face with warm water before doing this. Don’t rub towel on your skin. Ideally, drying should be done by patting or dabbing the towel on the face.

Specific spots treatment

This baking soda acne treatment is pretty much the same as the face mask. Basically, the paste is placed only on the pimple. It can be left overnight and removed in the morning. What this does is removes the oils on the skin by drying them out. Again, a clean towel is necessary to pat dry.

Scars and baking soda

There are those who say that baking soda can reduce the amount of scars. Most people are very adamant about the truthfulness of this method.

Trying out the baking soda method

This method is not really advisable for people with sensitive skin. To test, try placing baking soda paste on the inside of your wrist. Wait for a few minutes first. If your skin itches, then just look for another acne treatment method.

There are still other methods you might want to try if you are allergic to baking soda. Other alternatives include pumpkin, toothpaste or garlic. Pumpkin and garlic have all the earmarks of an effective face mask. Both are also capable of healing scars. You can also place toothpaste directly on the pimple.

Keep in mind that these may take time to work. However, if you stay on the routine, then you’ll find out if they really work for you. Aside from these treatments, don’t forget to eat right and exercise daily. This will supply your skin with the necessary nutrients to keep it healthy. Don’t forget to remove make up and wash your face daily.
