Does rubbing baking soda and water on your face help remove old scars…dark and light scars?

I know this might sound weird and a little disgusting for some but I tried it on my husband and it really worked.
When I was pregnant he broke out a lot and after I gave birth I would put warm (fresh) breastmilk in a container and get cotton balls and gently pat it on his face..and let it dry then wash face off.
Another is to put your babys diaper as they say that babys urine is a really good way to clean face…but the urine has to be fresh…like I said before some may think its nasty but it really works..

I had bad acne more when I was a teen, I tried all kinds of products and not until my 20′s i found Zapzyt. its the only thing that ever worked for me. If its drying your skin just mix it with a little lotion. Which is what i do – half and half. I have no doubts that it will work great for you, TRY IT !!!

acne has been with me throughout my childhood, i tried so many drugstore products, none really did work for me. Except for Proactive that stuff worked, but realize it was drying, though it helped me broke out less but the scarring was an issue. Honestly acne is not an issue to get rid of but the scarring is the pain. Thank god a customer of mine told me to use Tea Tree oil, Natural oil, usually found in nutrient house. so i said why not? what do i got to lose? so what i did was i cleansed my face before applying tea tree oil, make sure its a dim size. Remember a little goes a long way. Make sure to avoid eye and month area, it will sting because its 100% tea tree oil. leave it on for about 5-10 minutes. remove the tea tree oil with water and cleanse your face and pat face dry. Afterwards you’ll either feel a bit dry because tea tree oil can be a bit drying, try using jojoba oil 100% natural (packed with vitamin E) helps restore mositure and helps minimize large pores. Leave on for 5-10 minutes and make sure to rinse off the jojoba oil as much as you can. Afterwards use your daily routine skin care such as toning and moisturizing. I’ve broke out less than usual and because of tea tree oil i no longer use those harsh chemically spotted treatments. I decided to use natural products because i’v seen a difference. Also try to hydrate yourself with water, at least 6 and at most 8 glasses of water. Remember our body contains about 70% of fluid, can you imagine how much fluid we waste? not drinking water will be an issue. ever wonder why our urine is yellow? because our yellow urine is actually our vitamins, so drinking water is important. although we all have a busy schedule and don’t have time to drink 8 glasses of water its a “must”. it may sound a lot but actually its not that bad. try drinking 1-2 glasses of water in the morning before you leave your house, drink 1-2 glasses on your break (try bringing your own water bottle, because theres no need to waste money on water when its free! and plastic bottles are unfriendly to our eco-system) and another 1-2 glasses when you come home from your long day at work (can be refreshing) and lastly, drink 1-2 glasses before going to sleep (this is a must) because our body is exhausted and starts to replenish itself overnight, so water is a perfect source to restore its damage. Speaking of sleeping, resting is really important, though work,exams, projects, and staying up to watch television can eliminate from our rest. Do remember, one day of not sleeping can damage your complexion and may take days to recover that damage. Try to manage your time wisely by using an agenda. When resting, try sleeping at most 8-9 hours, you’ll feel no need of coffee or tea, sleeping is like recharging our body like batteries. Food, is another factor that many faces, although some foods can be harmful. Do try to avoid any daily products such as milk and cheese, though these products are great source of calcium theres always subsitution such as 5 almonds can sub for a glass of milk! Try avoiding bread, if you love bread try going for gluten free. AVOID EATING CANDY I REPEAT AVOID CANDY because majority contains carbohdyrate, hope i’m spelling it right. anyways thats all i must say.

This is simple. I have struggled with pimples all my 47 years. I take a wet wash cloth. Put it in the microwave 60 seconds. Take it out and hold it as close to my face as I possible can. Usually takes about 30 seconds before I can get it on my face. Then..repeat two more times only heating the cloth 45 second on the 2nd and 3rd time. Do this in the morning and at night. My acne was complete gone within 5 days. If a skip more than a day or two ..I get a pimple. I was having really bad cystic pimples. It cured them overnight.

My 17 year old son has pretty bad acne and I read on the internet that Apple Cider Vinegar worked pretty well. We bought some, mixed it half and half with water and he wipes his face twice a day with a cotton ball after washing and the results have been amazing. I’ve spent so much money on Proactiv, etc and his remedy was in the grocery store the whole time. Now I need to figure out how to reduce his scarring.

for any skin problems, use cider vinegar and a little water on cotton wool to clear and clean. I have had acne for many years and tried nearly everything on the market. You can also drink cider vinegar with water to cleanse your blood. Its also important to keep your hands away from your face and to always cleanse morning and night. Never ever go to bed with make up on – just asking for clogged pores. I hated having acne when I was a teenager and my face always seemed shiny, but now my skin is not wrinkled at the age of 52. I always use sun protection
