Hi, I have read some of the posts and it seems a majority has severe skin problems. I myself, just recently began
to have problems due to allergic reactions to moisturizers. Although my skin isnt that bad, I do break out.
I tried Salacytic Acid (im sure its spelled wrong) and the over the counter medications for those big ones
that always seem to come up. I noticed when I used these products my skin looked worse, even producing
more breakouts. I use baking soda since I was back in highschool when my skin would get hives. I usually
get small hives on my face that eventually turn into zits. My husband says Im a hypocondriac, that I have
a pimple and its not a hive. Anyway, they are hives and the baking soda would ease the itching
and eventually make them disappear. So when my skin turned bad recently, I have been using them
on top of the pimple. I seems to dry it up almost as good, even better than the medicines and doesnt
cause extreme dryness or irritation. Plus its all natural-
Just a suggestion to those that dont have severe problems. It does not matter whether you have mild acne
or major. Everyone wants to have flawless skin. As I reach my
30's I realize that its not possible for some of us. All people that suffer from it big or small go through some
the same things. I myself who has minor acne hate to go into the sun, hate spending money on Dr's
and products, worry about upcoming events, weddings, dinners whether or not I will have that big one
on my chin. I know its hard, and I cant preach, but inner beauty is most important. And remember WATER WATER WATER,
FORCE IT DOWN IF YOU HAVE TOO!!!!!!!
