Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a wonder ingredient, often celebrated by Grandma for its versatility. Today, let’s dive into the beauty benefits of this amazing powder.
1 – Natural Deodorant:
Baking soda is known for its odor-absorbing properties, which makes it an excellent natural deodorant. Simply mix it with a bit of water to form a paste (not too liquid or thick) and apply to your armpits. This helps prevent sweat stains and body odor. For enhanced moisture absorption, add cornstarch to the mixture.
Tip: Personalize your deodorant by adding 3-5 drops of your favorite essential oil, like rose or lavender. Mix well and apply.
2 – Smoothing Elbows and Knees:
To combat dryness in elbows and knees, incorporate a small amount of baking soda into your regular moisturizer. Massage this mixture onto the dry areas to smooth out rough skin.
3 – Teeth Whitening:
For a brighter smile, try adding baking soda to your toothpaste before brushing. It enhances the cleaning effect and helps whiten your teeth. However, be cautious not to overuse this method to avoid damaging the enamel – once every 10 days is sufficient.
