When the word baking soda comes to
mind you think of baking right but there is more to this sodium bicarbonate powder
than you think. First of all did you know baking soda, contains anti-bacteria, antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory properties which makes it a multipurpose
substance in fact this should be your go to beauty product, and the amazing
thing is that most of us have it in our kitchen cupboard doing nothing. Well
let me tell you how to put that to use.
1.
Teeth Brightener
Baking soda is great for removing
yellow stains from your teeth, with its anti-bacterial properties it neutralizes
acids caused by bacteria. Simply add a little amount of baking soda on your
tooth brush alongside your regular tooth paste, brush your teeth as normal. I
advise you to do this once a day for a few days and you will see the difference
in no time.
2.
Improves Uneven Skin Tone
This a major problem most of us have,
uneven skin, but not to worry baking soda helps balance PH levels which is very
important if you want an even and clear skin. Simply use a warm towel on the
affected area to open the pores then apply your mixture, which contains 1 or 2
teaspoon of baking soda with warm water let it rest for one minute and rinse
off with cold water to close pores .Do this once or twice a week and be sure to
moisturize immediately after and go rock that tan top you’ve been avoiding
3.
Treat Acne and Pimples
Simply add one or two teaspoons of
baking soda with warm water and apply it on the affected are, repeat this once
daily for two to three days and then reduce it to once a week. Do not forget to
open and close your pores by using warm water before and cold water after wards
this goes for any skin care treatment. You don’t want to leave your pores open
and pick up infections.
In conclusion you don’t need strong
skin care products to get rid of your skin problems and then end up doing more
damage by rumpling your skin and aging faster, remember the skin is delicate
and you would want to treat it as such. Watch out for my next post on baking
soda tips is going to be more interesting.
NOTE: Baking soda is more effective
when used for a short period of time and also do a patch test to know if your
skin is sensitive to it.
