Question 1

is it safe to use baking soda everyday as a facial wash or facial cleanser?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Baking soda is too abrasive and may dry out and irritate facial skin. Use a gentle foaming non-soap cleanser for daily use. If you have acne or oily skin, a benzoyl peroxide cleanser may help. Scrubbing usually leaves the skin more vulnerable to irritation and redness.

Question 2

hi.  im 19m pregnant.  im currently using the facial cleanser beand sk ii.  i want to know if that brand is safe to use during pregnancy?  any rec? ty

Accepted Answer

General rule: Creams or lotions you apply to the skin surface will not transfer a detectable amount of med through the skin to your blood. If it doesn't get into your blood it cannot effect the fetus. Only specialized prescription meds, placed on patches with penetration capabilities would get through the skin. You generally never need to worry about over the counter creams/lotions/liquids you apply to your ski

Question 4

Accepted Answer

We need to know: the ingredients of the facial cleanser in order to give an informed response.  One thing is clear.  Please avoid any skin products that contain alcohol.  It's drying to the skin.  Eating a clean diet (getting rid of junk food) is also very helpful.  Peace and good health.

Question 5

is betadine skin cleanser (povidone iodine 7.5%) safe as a facial wash?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea...: Betadine is a skin disinfectant used prior to surgery.  It is likely too harsh to use everyday and some people even become allergic to it.  I would not recommend you use it as a routine facial wash.
