Baking Soda Mask
By Brittany
Everyone wants glowing, radiant skin. Unfortunately, not everyone has it. Especially not me. I was cursed with oily skin that is crazy prone to pimples, but mostly blackheads. I was *ALWAYS* on the hunt for a magic cure to my horrible acne.
I finally found something that is almost magical: baking soda masks. Not only does a mask like this do wonders for the skin, it also wont break the bank! I bought a box of baking soda for less than a dollar at target. Besides the baking soda, you will also need a little container (to make the magic), a brush (to slather it on your face) and some water.
Put 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water and mix it up. It should have a super thick consistency, but not thick enough that you can't spread it on your face. Put it all over your face (or just on your problem areas). Now you wait. Waiting is the hardest part. Luckily my favorite show was on, so I grabbed a towel (because this stuff might get everywhere once dry) and watched some Law and Order: SVU. Wait as long as you can. I did about half an hour, speeding up the process by drying the mask with a blow dryer. Hop in the shower or just wash your face and glow. I like to take some toner on a cotton ball and go to town on my pores. If you have super sensitive skin, I wouldn't recommend it though. Enjoy your super smooth, clean, beautiful skin. :) |
