Beauty Uses of Baking Soda
Baking soda is not just a baking staple but it has many used outside the kitchen as well. From clear skin to whiter teeth, baking soda is a one-step solution to most beauty problems.
Here are some effective and unusual beauty uses of baking soda:
Face Scrub
Turn your usual face wash into a scrub. Mix a small amount of baking soda in your everyday face wash.
Pore cleanser and minimizer
Baking soda helps clear pores and remove blackheads. Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply on your T-zone (nose and forehead) and chin area. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Dry shampoo
Have Greasy hair and no time to wash it? Just sprinkle a teaspoon of baking soda on your hair roots and brush your hair.
Add volume to hair
Without buying a new volumizing shampoo, turn your normal shampoo into a volumizing one. Add half a teaspoon of baking soda in your daily required amount of shampoo.
Acne clearing mask
Honey and baking soda, both have anti-inflammatory properties which help fight acne. Add half a teaspoon of baking soda in a tablespoon of honey and mix well. Let it sit on your face for 15 minutes and rinse.
Whitening toothpaste
Take out your required amount of toothpaste on your brush and add a pinch of baking soda on top.
Nail whitener
Just like whitening teeth, baking soda help whiten dull and yellow nails. Mix hydrogen peroxide and a little amount of baking soda and rub on your nails.
Deodorant
Make a paste by mixing baking soda and water. Apply on your underarm area. It works as a safe odor neutralizer.
Clean hairbrushes and combs
Hair brushes and combs gather dust and debris. So, to give a thorough clean, soak your brushes and combs in a small bowl filled with warm water and 1 tablespoon of baking soda. You can do the same with your dirty makeup brushes.
Detox bath
Add a cup of baking soda in your bath water. This will remove body toxins from your body and make your skin soft.
Good Luck!
