Baking soda is used for everything around the house, but could also surprise you if you include it in your beauty routine or slip it into your care kit. Softness of the skin, stomach aches, imperfections… bicarbonate has many uses !
For your beauty:
1) Sprinkle baking soda on your toothpaste to make your teeth whiter. Do not do more than once a week so as not to weaken your enamel.
2) Use baking soda under your armpits as a natural deodorant. Apply a thin touch with your fingers and dust with a washcloth.
3) For stunning nails, dip your hands in water containing baking soda. Your nails will never have been so beautiful and your hands so soft!
4) Combat blemishes by gently exfoliating the skin in circular motions with a paste made of baking soda and water. This will also help hydrate your skin. You can also leave this paste on local imperfections for a few minutes for a spot treatment.
5) From time to time, add a teaspoon of baking soda to your shampoo for a healthier scalp. It rids the hair of residues that suffocate it and they therefore become more beautiful.
