The Miracle of Baking Soda :)

[sima]

Pwede pa ba gamitin ang baking soda if more than one month na siya nakabukas?

I think OK pa ring gamitin ang baking soda kahit expired na (for beauty care ha) although hindi na siya kasing potent as expected.

i tried it once sa hair, diluted with water lang then conditioner after. kaya siguro di matigas sa hair ko
because i put HHN SBO sa scalp before taking a bath. ang lambot at feeling magaan ang hair ko.

[etra.ph]

^hindi ba naging greasy yung hair dahil sa SBO? or nawash away din ng baking soda yun?

[junepets]

we use baking soda din pang alis ng odor sa ref and cabinet....
now i will try this as facial scrub..

[andreil_19]

^^hindi naman sis. hindi rin kasi buong scalp nilagyan ko ng SBO.

[wittyjen]

wow nice thread ! i will try this nga hehe..
oily skin kase ako hope this helps!

[etra.ph]

pwede niyo po ba describe yung texture ng baking soda ninyo?

Kasi dati nung bumili ako ang naalala ko medyo coarse siya.
Hindi naman yung parang sea salt pero hindi rin siya super fine.
Kasi yung nabili ko sa tindahan parang ang fine fine..

Atsaka may difference ba ang baking soda & baking powder? haha

[margabites]

i use baking soda solution as a gargle. walang strong chemical taste at feeling fresh and mouth after.

@etra.ph, although both are leavening agents used for baking and cooking, baking soda is bicarbonate of soda while baking powder contains baking soda, sodium aluminum sulfate, cornstarch, calcium sulfate, and calcium acid phosphate.  It may also contain cream of tartar or another form of starch.

Hindi ko lang alam kung pwedeng gawing substitute ang baking powder sa baking soda in the beauty department (scrub, deodorant, teeth whitener, etc.)

Sabi ng mama ko, ideal daw na ipang-scrub ang baking soda, kasi hindi daw masyadong malaki o masyadong maliit. Just enough to slough off dead skin cells. So I tried it. Once ko pa lang nagagamit and I can say mas okay sya kesa sa commercialized body scrubs like Asian Secrets and Abonne. Hindi harsh sa skin pero super smooth ang feeling after. I also use it on my face, no break outs and it effectively removes blackheads.

thanks sima!
kaazar mali yung nabili ko lately. noob mistake di ko binasa mabuti.

anyway, maganda ba tong gawing facial mask?
kasi di kaya to mahuhulog agad from your face pag natuyo na? hehe

sobrang thank you sa thread na ito...ang galing galing ng baking soda...ang ganda ganda sa hair,teeth and skin.

[Shiecg]

i have not tried it yet sa teeth kasi takot ako sa hapdi factor hehe. but i might try it too, kasi yong dating baking soda na nabili at ginagamit ko parang ang bilis mag hapdi ng skin ko, then kagabi ginamit ko bagong brand ng baking soda mas maganda ang result saka wala hapdi, kaya will try this one sa teeth na rin :-)

[junepets]

mga sis... gumagamit pa kayo toner after applying baking soda sa face?
or moisturizer lang?

[sima]

I use moisturizer after washing/scrubbing my face with baking soda

[Shiecg]

ako hindi na, kasi mas gusto ko yong feeling na super linis, kinis at gaan ng pakiramdam when i go to bed, kasi sa gabi ako nag e-scrub pero kung umaga of course i'll apply moisturizer lalo na sa face

[sima]

you're welcome @etra.ph.  OK lang kung mali yung nabili mo, gamitin mo pa rin kung fine lang yung powder niya tutal, baking powder has baking soda din naman plus starch

[Crazylabel]

Pang 4th day ko na syang facial scrub today every morning and evening and true, lesser na oil sa face ko

[sima]

Ako din, day and night ko siya ginagawa as facial scrub.  During weekends, I make it as a mask and alternate it with turmeric mask in the hope of keeping the blemishes away.  So far, so good.

dahil sa thread na to, kung [textspeak!]-ano na na pinaggagamitan ko sa baking soda..
things i do with baking soda:

1. binababad ko feet ko sa baking soda for 15 mins, then after ang soft ng paa ko..
2. facial scrub, i only do this 2x a week kasi inaalternate ko rin sa apricot scrub
3. i also use it to scrub yung siko and tuhod ko..
3. pang whiten ng teeth, 2-3x a week lang rin..
4. pag shinashampoo ko pets ko, i inlcude baking soda sa tubig na pangbanlaw para di sila mabilis bumaho..

i have yet to discover kung [textspeak!] pa pwedeng gawin sa baking soda..
