In reply to Vanessa. It'll potentially mess with the formulation - maybe mix it in your hand or use a glycerin-containing product immediately before or afterwards.

In reply to Sara. Baking soda on its own gives a high pH, and is easily avoided. If it's mixed with other things (e.g. used as a pH adjuster) it's fine, since it get used up in the reaction :)

I’m an authorized esthetician in the US and I solidly accept that facilitating your schooling is the best way to stay aware of right data. Much thanks for clearing up SO numerous skincare legends!

Hi Michelle! I couldn’t figure out how to leave a comment on the other post. After watching your video on DIY vitamin C, I was wondering if there are other ingredients that can lower PH? Why is it that so many people are against using baking soda on skin and what makes this usage safe? When looking up what never to put on your skin, baking soda is always one of the first things.

This video was so informative. It even made me enjoy washing my face a bit more because I was understanding what was happening! I have some foaming cleansers that are a bit drying. Am I able to add some pure glycerin to the bottle to reduce the drying effect or would that mess with the formulation?

My skin tends to get on better with Salicylic Acid washes when I get my once a month congestion period – I can use them at the right frequency so they help against clogged pores, but don‘t irritate my skin. On active pimples a leave on works better.

And I didn‘t know that it is the SLS not being rinsed off properly, I still thought it was the oil removing part!
