The Miracle of Baking Soda :)

[angeleigh]

I line all my garbage cans with baking soda, para hindi siya mangamoy at mamasa--sabi kasi it absorbs water din.
Pati yung hamper ko ng maduming damit nilalagyan ko rin, para hindi rin magamoy kulob, kasi once a week lang ako naglalaba e.

[littlekinselle]

same lang din ng baking soda ang bakingpowder noh?

[sonia62]

^sis magkaiba ang baking soda at baking powder

[bratinella08]

tnx to baking soda, yun ang ginamit ko for my hair kanina coz onti lang ang water na nasa CR namin at walang tulo, kainis

[sonia62]

^pano ginawa mo sis bratinella08?

[queen_sickle]

sis, safe ba baking soda for hair rinse? pag once a week lang siguro or ok lang ba every other day? natatakot kasi ako baka mag worsen hair fall ko kasi I heard matapang baking soda even diluted.

[domestic diva]

^safe siya, sis. once a week or even once every two weeks lang ang gamit mo. pang clarifying
lang siya. add mo lang sa lather habang nag-shashampoo ka. then rinse and apply conditioner.
dinudukot ko lang ang baking soda. ganon lang ka konti. a little more than a pinch.

[bratinella08]

sonia62: nilagay ko lang sya sa hair concentrating sa scalp, less oiliness ang effect 

[queen_sickle]

thanks domestic dive...buti naman safe sya. ttry ko nga. i think you can also use it for face exfoliation

Girls, ingat kayo sa paggamit nito as alternative to tawas. I have sensitive skin lalo na sa UA, hindi naman maitim UA ko pantay lang sa color hindi kasi ako mahilig magdeo since wala akong hiyang halos sa lahat ng sinubukan ko. I tried using it as tawas bec of this thread so far so good mga 2 weeks ko na ginagamit I agree totally walang amoy talaga however just this moning horror talaga pagkakita ko ng UA ko sa salamin after maligo una kumati sya nung Friday then eto 2 days after lang eh maitim na yung upper part hindi ko alam gagawin ko, maybe okay sya pag isasabay sa pagligo pero pag alternative as tawas/deo depends sa inyo if you want to try, siguro masyado syang matapang kaya naabuse yung skin. So now nagkaroon pa tuloy ako ng dilemma as in hindi na ako makakapag sleeveless nito sa isang iglap, until makahanap ako ng solution. Just sharing para po maiwasan. Baka may ibang hiyang lang din talaga, maybe I will still use it pero pangscrub na alng sabay sa soap but not as substitute for deo.

sis LGV never use baking soda pure for under arm,,,if you want deopowder u need half teaspoon baking soda and 2 tablespoon of corrnstarch,,mix well,,teaspoon ang gamitin sa baking powder and tablespoon sa cornstarch....kaunti lang dapat ang baking soda,abrasive kasi ito,cornstarch powder ang marami,,,eto gamit ng mga teen age boys ko i put may mixture in small empty baby powder case,,,effective sa kanila,,then pwede rin lagyan ng vco o virgin cococnut oil pakonti konti para maging cream,can add your fave oil base perfume if gusto may scent...or can use sunflower oil too...

Ito gamit ko nung buntis ako since bawal ang lahat na may chemical, baking soda lang ang pinagscrub ko body and face :-). Hindi nangitim neck and underarm ko. Until now thrice a week ko pa din siya ginagamit ang soft sa skin after.

[louiesmom]

ayyy.. gusto ko din i-try sa face..  thanks sis sa mga tips! 

[LGV]

Thanks sis mariebiscuit, will try that

[shy_mommy]

newbie here 

will start using baking soda + lemon as whitening ng underarm tonight after work.......sana magwork

[runami]

My friend uses it on her body like soap. Then sa hair like shampoo (mixed). Nawala daw dandruff niya and I wanna try too. Natural lang kasi homemade haha.

[pilyangkuting18]

I use baking soda mixed with honey as body and face scrub. Honey kasi may anti bacterial property sya kaya bilis din makatuyo ng pimple

[budzwhiz]

I've been using baking soda for 3 weeks na siguro. Baking soda ang water mask lang, and it really does so well in drying up my pimples, blackheads... Mga 10 mins. then wash na.

But there's something I noticed ngayon lang. Parang umitim yung face ko! Bakit ganon. I don't use moisturizer with spf kasi dito lang sa bahay. Hindi kaya dahil to sa peeling ng baking soda? Sabi nila nakakaitim din daw ang indoor lights pag may exfoliation? Tama ba to? Help pleeaaaaseee sissies!

[j.adore]

I stopped using this because it didn't help much with pimples tapos di rin healthy na abrasion of the skin.

[angelic_daphne]

Sisses, just want to share my thoughts regarding topic: baking soda + lemon is too harsh. Its not recommended for UA skin. Just mix baking soda with water then use it for your underarm.
