Part 1 of 2: Understanding how it works

1. Understand how baking soda can help get rid of blemishes. It has been known for a long time that baking soda can help get rid of blemishes. While this simple home remedy may not work as well as some of the commercially available commercial acne remedies, it does have its benefits.
   • Baking soda is amphoteric, meaning it can react as an acid as well as a base. It can therefore help to neutralize areas of the skin with an imbalanced pH balance. Acne is often caused by a disturbed pH balance.
   • Baking soda helps dry the skin and removes any excess oil that causes blackheads and blemishes. It also has mild anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, which help shrink blemishes.
   • Mixing baking soda with water creates a fine, gritty paste that cleanses and exfoliates that skin, removing oil, dirt and dead skin cells.
2. Be careful about using baking soda if you have sensitive skin. Baking soda can greatly dry out your skin and sometimes cause redness and skin irritation if you have sensitive skin.
   • That's why it's a good idea to try the baking soda on a small area of ​​your skin before applying it all over your face. If you experience side effects, stop using it.
   • It's important not to use baking soda too often, even if you don't experience side effects. Baking soda can over time disrupt your skin's pH balance, causing more bacteria to grow on it and causing more blemishes.
   • So don't use the baking soda on your skin more than twice a week.

1. Put baking soda in your bath. If you have acne on your back or chest, you may benefit from taking a baking soda bath.
   • Sprinkle 150 grams of baking soda into the warm bath water (do not use bath oil) and stir the water with your hand to mix everything.
   • Get in the tub and try to sit there for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse your skin in the shower after the bath.
   • The baking soda will keep you from getting new acne and blackheads on your back, chest, and other areas of your body that are prone to acne breakouts.

• Since your skin can get very dry, apply the baking soda once a week first and gradually use it 2 to 3 times a week as needed or as advised by your doctor.
