I did the oil cleansing method, then scrubbed my face with baking soda. My face HURTS!! It feels raw and red and like I scrubbed off a layer of skin. I applied moisturizer, but that made it burn worse! What did I do? Ouch.

What did you mix the baking soda with? Maybe something irritated your skin a little too much or you have sensitive skin.
I didn't scrub too hard when I did it, but I also had a little redness and soreness, and baking soda itself can be abrasive by itself. It will probably calm down by morning, and if you do the scrub again, take the 'scrubbing' part a little easier![]()
I used water. I just used a tiny bit of baking soda.





You scrubbed too hard?
I did that last week and had flakey dryness of doom.

^ probably. I just slathered gold bond on my face. I'll probably end up with the biggest zit breakout of my life.![]()





Girl, I don't use the baking soda scrub. I'm one of the few people that experienced a massive breakout because of it.
well, my face is still sore, I had to put on some foundation cause I got errands to do and the foundation made my face start to burn liek crazy all over again. and I used my lgihtweight water based stuff thinkign it wouldnt hurt. Also, I have big red bloches all over. No pretty. No more baking soda.
I only do it on my tzone
about once a week.
Never a problem.
