The Magic of Baking Soda

Unless you’re a baby, you probably need or maybe have used an exfoliating scrub to remove the dead cells from your skin. Babies’ skin exfoliates naturally everyday, that’s why their skin stay healthy and smooth. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with us, we need a lot of help to get a new production of collagen and to let the new rejuvenated skin to surface. That’s why exfoliation should be a part of our beauty regime.
Exfoliating scrub can be found in just about any skin care brands. Haven’t found the right one for you? Here’s the simplest and cheapest way to do it, a tip from Paula Begoun, author of Don’t go the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, and The Beauy Bible. Add a little bit of baking soda to your skin cleanser, mix it with your fingertips and massage in circles all over your face, and rinse. Or you can cleanse first, and exfoliate afterwards by mixing the baking soda with water. Don’t forget to rinse your face with cold water and don’t overdo it, two times a week is enough. I’ve tried this a few times and it makes me feel silly for spending big bucks on Clinique Exfoliating Scrub!

hahaha…gw jg pengguna clinique 7day scrub ni .. baking soda must be lots more cheaper yaks!! thx han
mariiii di coba baking sodanya..:D, di tunggu review nya….:)
Hanz, makasi yah tipsnya
baking soda juga kalo dicampur sama toothpaste bisa buat mutihin gigi – tapi jangan sering2 bisa rusak enamelnya. it tastes gross though
hanz, ya oloh barusan aja gw ngomong ama temen gw gini… bisa ngak ya baking powder dipake di muka..ternyata dia sering gtu…dan dia pake digigi, di muka.. trus tadi dengan polosnya gw nanya gini ..mungkin dirambut juga bisa
Thanks for the tips
Morgan, Gw pernah coba tuh ama toothpaste, It does taste gross yah tapi gigi jadi kinclong kya 24 karat hehehe
Wah han, baru tau gw kalo baking soda bisa buat scrub.. selama ini yg gw tau buat bersihin kaca2 yg udah butek doang
Thanks for the tips Hanz, disini baking powder Arm & Hammer ada siy tp dalam jumlah lumayan besar 250gr,dan harus ngubek Ace Hardware… kl baking powder buat kue cap kupu2 gak apa2 juga kali ya???
Excellent article Hanzky, its so true that baking soda is a simple yet multi-purpose product. I found Arm & Hammer baking soda at Carrefour Ratu Plaza. Since I am a heavy smoker I use it regularly to brush my teeth. I also put some in the fridge to keep it free from odors and also put some in the washing machine with white laundry. But I heard there are many more ways to use this ‘magic’ and ‘natural’ product ; )
Hanzky, great tips, am gonna try it ASAP. Nuhun pisan nyak!
wow!!
a nice trick..
i’ll do it
Thank you Hans utk tipsnya. mo coba ah.
gw kemaren nyoba, gw taro di exfoliate brush ditambah ama cleansing gel..hasilnya top..muka gw jadi terang bener…Sampe kaget sendiri gw
woohoo, thanks for reminding us of this great multi purpose product!
wah wah..gue tertarik nyoba nih.. baking soda nya gak harus merek tertentu kan yah Hanz?
waah, baru aja kemaren nanya di thread ttg scrub.

gue taunya baking soda buat bersihin sink yg mampet
) ternyata bisa juga buat muka ya?
bagus yah triknya.. yg g tau sih dulu buat rambut doank baking sodanya..
setelah dicoba komen gue cuma WOW….
)
this thing really do WORKS…. even much much more better than BHA lotion
karena penasaran, i google it down and found some interesting facts….
It can be used in a mixture with sugar (50/50) as a household solution for killing cockroaches
( cocok untuk para ibu rumah tangga yg mengalami masalah dengan kecoak )
It is used as a base in the production of crack cocaine. ( anyone wanna get high ?
)
Freshly cut fruit can be soaked in sodium bicarbonate solution for a short while to prevent yellowing.
wah…good tips!
)
gw ga pernah tahu sebelumnya.
padahal selama ini gw fanatik banget pake baking soda buat housechores (buat bersihin peralatan dapur yg membandel, buat campuran ngepel, buat bersihin kamar mandi etc)
and my fav brand ya si Arm & Hammer ini (walo kadang2 pake yang koepoe2 jg
kayanya musti dicoba ni buat face cleanser juga.
thanks hanzky…
kalo buat muka sensitive boleh gak ya..
Hanzky, thank you tips nya yaaa (sambil ngubek2 cupboard)
YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! barusan beli baking soda buat bikin pancake! taunya bisa buat muka juga ya?

baking soda memang serba guna banget deh…kalo ada yang udah nyobain lagi di tunggu review nya ya. Kemaren utie abis nyoba juga, dan beneran mukanya terlihat lebih cerah…:)
Good to hear that it works for you too sexy in black
kidoz mesti nya boleh, tapi coba nya dikit aja dulu yah, banyakin cleanser nya daripada baking soda nya..
