Baking soda beauty tips!

Hello everyone!

Today’s post is about my favourite multi-purpose product: baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)! 

Here are some of my favourite baking soda beauty tips…

Skin care tips:

• In the palm of your hand, mix some baking soda with your facial cleanser to make a gentle exfoliant (and make-up remover).  Read this post for more information: Scrub you face with sodium bicarbonate!
• This can also be used for rough skin on elbows and feet.  Make a thick paste with baking soda and water (about 3:1) and scrub away.
• Baking soda in a warm bath not only softens the skin, it may also help with body acne and eczema.

Hair tips:

• Mix some baking soda to your shampoo to remove product buildup.
• Remove product and oil buildup by soaking your combs and brushes in a bowl of warm water with about 3 tablespoons of baking soda.

Nail care:

• Scrubbing your nails with a nailbrush dipped in baking soda will soften cuticles.

Oral hygiene:

• Brush your teeth with a past of baking soda and water.  This will clean and polish/whiten your teeth!
• Add half a teaspoon of baking soda to half a glass of water, and use it to gargle.  Baking soda neutralises the odors in your mouth (bad breath).  Benefits of this mouthwash:

·       inexpensive

·       no harsh chemicals

·       no strong taste

·       alcohol-free

Do you have any other beauty tips that include baking soda?  I’d love to know!
