I haven&#39;t had any burning issues, but I knew from the moment I used this that this is not something I need to do on a day-to-day basis for my skin. I do it 1-2x a week and I have noticed a difference in my skin. I don&#39;t think my skin is sensitive but if I would I have tried this every day then I probably would&#39;ve been burned too. I&#39;ve varied the amount of baking soda I use and it still seems the same. I use just Cetaphil on the days I don&#39;t add the baking soda. If you should decide to try again. Don&#39;t do it back to back and see how that helps.LaQThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08310356555379085421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092996284303546686.post-982318022721974992009-12-21T07:55:12.942-05:002009-12-21T07:55:12.942-05:00Really good technique!<br />i&#39;ve tried it and loved it^^Laine Didi Linahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06340769107751226189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092996284303546686.post-46203049872700332502009-12-21T03:13:12.593-05:002009-12-21T03:13:12.593-05:00for dark spots i use ambi and it doesn&#39;t really look like its workingpinkBarbii3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092996284303546686.post-21613690271887065782009-12-16T15:50:20.787-05:002009-12-16T15:50:20.787-05:00hey sunshyne<br /><br />i am sooo shocked<br />because that is the same exact skin regimen i use<br />i cleanse with the cetaphil oily skin cleanser 2x/day<br />i use my st.ives apricot scrub 2x/week<br />when i am really lazy however, i mix my cetaphil with baking soda at night<br />i am soo glad i&#39;m not the only one who does this<br />i also used african shea butter on my face but only at night time which was A-MAZING!!!<br />i stopped using it because i started using vitamin e oil, which is said to clear up dark spots and blemishes so i will see how it goesSabanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092996284303546686.post-52966888462832667902009-12-16T15:05:30.764-05:002009-12-16T15:05:30.764-05:00@ Sewdope- thank you!!<br /><br />@ Kimmy8188 - Hey Kimberly :-)Wow!! That&#39;s great. Shea Butter is the best.<br /><br />@ Katrina - Yes I have normal to oily skin and no shea butter doesn&#39;t clog my pores. I got my shea butter at my local beauty supply store.<br /><br />@ Anonymous - I got it from my local beauty supply store<br /><br />@ The Beauty Xchange - Thanks for the suggestion. I&#39;ll check it out.<br /><br />@ Marcia - I&#39;m glad you like it too. Shea butter mix? sounds nice...I&#39;ll take a look :)<br /><br />@ MissAnnaBanna - Yes, baking soda is a great cleanser and exfoliator. You should try it sometime.<br /><br />@ Anonymous - No I don&#39;t use sunscreen. Shea butter has sunscreen properties.<br /><br />@ Anonymous - Yes, it does remove make-up.<br /><br />@ Keedah - I LOVE IT TOO!!! :-)<br /><br />@ Dhiane - Your welcome my dear.<br /><br />@ Anonymous - Your welcome! thanks for the compliment. I&#39;ve tried my best to clear up my skin and so far this regimen is the best yet.<br /><br />@ Manune - No greasy face here. I only use a small amount. I wear make-up as well. The shea butter gives a nice glow..not an oily face.<br /><br />@ LaQT - Aww that&#39;s awesome!! Thanks for sharing that with me.<br /><br />@ Hair and Beyond - Please try and let me know how your skin reacts.<br /><br />@ LaTonya - My dark marks are fading because exfoliating removes the dead skin and the shea butter heals it and fades the dark marks.<br /><br />@ Attayah - A burn? maybe you were too rough or your portions (of the cleanser and baking soda) were a bit off. Have you ever used baking soda on your skin? Maybe it&#39;s just the initial reaction since your skin is not used to it. Give yourself 1-2 weeks to see if it clears up.Sunshynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12963151018326098709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092996284303546686.post-39561376562715054852009-12-13T23:44:20.654-05:002009-12-13T23:44:20.654-05:00when i tried the baking soda and my cetaphil cleanser the first night was okay then the second night i got what i think might be some sort of burn due to the baking soda. hmm not sure where i went wrong but my skin is still trying to healAttayahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10179745166916804186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092996284303546686.post-51657716507382080372009-12-13T17:07:23.647-05:002009-12-13T17:07:23.647-05:00Never tried this but I think I might.

I too just recently started using shea butter as a facial moisturizer and I love it. My skin regimen is pretty simple as well except I just discovered a really great masque that I&#39;ve incorporated into my regimen. Check out my review on it here<br />http://thebeautyxchange.blogspot.com/2009/12/mineral-from-dead-sea-c-plus-masque.html<br /><br />I&#39;ll have to try the baking soda sometime, baking soda has so many wonderful uses - incredible.
