Acne Problems? A Little Baking Soda and Water Might Help You

I know you'd be surprised, but my cousin had horrible acne. But once he started using baking soda to scrub his face, his acne has cleared up. He's a handsome guy and he had severe acne. And this treatment helped him get the confidence to pursue a music editing career. Now I don't use this because my acne is so mild, I get a dab here and there of acne around my period. But that doesn't mean it can't help someone with serious problems.

Regular use might be too harsh for some people. Be gentle when scrubbing a mix of the paste on your face. It just takes a little bit of baking soda and a little water. It's just a suggestion, but it might save you a lot of trouble. Proactive doesn't have a lot of positive feedback from users. It helps some people but not all acne sufferers.

I use Clean and Clear myself with pretty good results. But I know that for people with major outbreaks, it seems like a little face wash won't do. So if you're tired of expensive treatments and nothing seems to work, try this tip and see if it doesn't help.

Nothing is more embarrassing than having people tell you to use Proactive. Yeah, you know you have acne. But that doesn't mean you don't try. I know how hard it is to keep up with it sometimes. Nothing seems to work. I didn't have a lot of acne in High school and now I get adult acne. Go figure. So I know how embarrassing it can be to have acne. And I don't want you to suffer. I probably won't get rich and famous for sharing this tip. But if it helps others, I am just doing my job to help. I want you to be free of acne and if a simple trick like this does it then that's great.

Just don't get discouraged if it takes a while to see results. It is gentle and effective and can add a new perspective to your life, one free of humiliating acne. Now I'd like to hear back from you to know if it worked. My grandmother has all sorts of tricks. One I can't follow is using Vaseline and water at a moisturizer. She swears by it, but it makes me break out horribly. I guess I need to clean it off with Baking Soda? I guess I'll just stick to Clean and Clear.
