  1. Has anyone else tried cleaning there faces with baking soda? I do this, and it works very well for my acne. I also use tea tree oil to treat it. You can go to my blog, and search "tea tree oil" And it should pull up the article I used! If not, comment and I'll send it to you! Be sure to mosturize if you do this! :) Happy blogging!
