Glowing Skin Remedies

I use 1 tb of Baking Soda with a little bit of water and scrub it all over my face. After this, I Apply 3 -4 drops of ACV as a toner (without any dilution). Have been following this religiously for the last two months. Havent seen any significant improvement. Infact, my skin turns red sometimes and becomes really dry if i scrub a little vigorously.What could be the problem? Im really distraugt that this remedy has been working for so many of you'll but i havent seen any difference. Please help. I have combination skin.
