Thanks a lot for the info, it's always great to hear about someone finding something that works for them when it comes to SD. Do you have any theories on why sodium bicarbonate actually works for this purpose? Also, i've known people who mix this with water and drink it to help with heartburn, do you think drinking maybe a bottle of water mixed with sodium bicarbonate a day would further improve SD? One more thing, when you mix it and apply it to your face, do you then apply a moisturizer afterwards? i know my skin, as well as most other peoples skin with SD is much too dry to ONLY put sodium bicarbonate on it. Thanks again for the information.
