For years, I struggled with horrible acne. However, after many encounters with products that promised miracles, such as Proactiv, I finally stumbled upon the best acne medicine of all-- baking soda.
First of all, clean your skin with an acne-fighting facial cleanser. While some people prefer Proactiv or soap, I highly recommend Mychelle facial products. They are great for your skin, organic, and contain acne fighting ingredients. They work wonders!
While your skin is still wet, make a paste of baking soda and warm water. Place a substantial mound of baking soda in your container, and add just a little bit of warm water to the mix. Stir with your hand in order to see if the consistency is adequate. You will want a consistency that is slightly thinner than toothpaste.
Next, after you have mixed your acne medication, take a little bit of the baking soda solution and rub it on your face. Gently circulate it on your skin, particularly your acne-prone areas, for about 20-30 seconds. Wash off the mixture with warm water.
Store your baking soda paste in the container in a convenient place, such as the bathroom. It should last you quite a while, and you will have beautiful skin... naturally and cheaply! Use once a day, or twice a day, as long as it does not irritate your skin.
Another great idea for storage is to store baking soda in a salt shaker (or even a mini-cocktail shaker, like the kind you find for $1 at Target-- very cute). This way, you can simply put the dry baking soda in your hand and mix it with water right before you put it on your skin.
