what is baking soda da baking powder for baking cake is it ?????

[fluene]

Yes, baking soda is the one for baking cakes. But then, won't baking soda 'burn' our skin?

[serenayap]

i read baking sodium bicarbonate is a very good exfolaiter from some celbrity webside..
so i go buy tat baking powder and try really burn myskin till painful

[fluene]

I think we can can still use baking soda provided our skin is dry. Then rinse with cleansing oil. Then only rinse with water.

This is just my thinking. Baking soad reacts with water. That's why it 'burns' our skin. By removing the baking soda using cleanisng oil first, then I think it will be safer

hi gals, i've not tried it yet. but i guess with cetaphil as a buffer, shld be quite safe. i'm update after i've tried okie? cos no i trying out the aspirin mask

i've tried using baking soda to watch my face n my teeth..
just spinkle a little on ur toothpaste(on ur toothbrush) then brush as usual..and it taste a little salty..and the first time i used i find that the bubbles that came out r very yellowish..so i think it should be working lor cuz somone recommended that it can whitten our teeth.. but after 1 week i dun see much improvement in my teeth so i stop already...
as for face.. i mix with my usual cleanser and wash my face.. my face really turn very smooth n soft after using.. it's just like exfoliater..so dun use too many times a week.. got 1 week i have nth to do so i use this baking soda to wash my face quite a number of times in 1 week...and pimples started to pop out..lol..

u can try them lor.. and i dun feel any burning feeling ler..
maybe my skin r not so sensitive..

yin how much did you use with your facial cleanser?
so it feels like a fine scrub lah is it?

[yin]

chloe
hmm i also dunno how much haha cuz i put the baking soda into a tiny bottle..and i just pour out a bit...but i suggest if ur first time using then should not put so much lar just in case ur skin is allergic to baking soda...
yeap it does feels like fine scrub or sometimes even dun feel anything cuz it dissolves quite readily in water...

i mix baking powder with few dots of water.... then put it on my pimples... coz i found this tip on the net few months ago.. I tried only once... didn't see any fast result or anything... Didn't feel pain or anything... so i neva try after tht...

I tried using baking soda with tooth paste to brush my teeth. I think it's working kuar because the bubbles become yellowish.

There's the ratio of the amount of soda can be used on skin... I would try mix a little bit on rice powder and brewer yeast...
