In an attempt to find another at-home remedy for all your beauty needs, this article stood out to me about Baking Soda.
Have you ever wondered what the power of baking soda could be? After reading all about it, I don't wonder any longer.
There is a shelf life for this multi functional wonder, however, so be warned! It should be replaced within the year if opened, and in two years is never used (which after reading this, this shouldn't happen to you!). If you store an open container of it in the fridge to absorb odors (#1 tip on the functions of this product), don't use it for anything else! It holds odors and funky flavors and is not a good multi-function product after that.
Here are some beauty tips for at-home baking soda remedies:
1. Clean up that dirty mouth!
Put one teaspoon in half a glass of water- swish, spit, rinse.
2. Use as a facial scrub and body exfoliant
Mix 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Rub around to exfoliate. Rinse. You can use this every day!
3. Make a hand cleanser and softener
Make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water or 3 parts baking soda with gentle liquid hand soap. Then rinse.
4. Help your hair
Baking soda removes styling products left behind normal shampoo can’t get out. Vinegar is a go-to for hair, but this is a less noticeable smell for daily use. You hair will be cleaner and more manageable. Mix a small amount with your shampoo and lather like normal. Rinse and condition.
5. Make a bath or foot soak
Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to your bath to neutralize acids on the skin and help wash away oil and perspiration. Dissolve 3 tablespoons of baking soda in a tub of warm water and soak feet. Gently scrub.
Thanks to Yahoo.com, I will now keep this stuff handy all over my house, not just in the kitchen!
