try this for smoother skin
first wash your face in warm water
make a paste from the baking soda(just add a bit of warm water and mix into a paste)
rub the paste into your skin(using circliar motions)
and wash of with a warm facecloth
now using a clean facecloth, wash you face using apple cider vingar or alchol.
just pour a bit onto the cloth and pat into your face, it may sting a bit. But its getting the impurties out.
now take one peppermint tea bag and wet it. Pad{rub it} it onto your face.
