Something I am very picky about is my teeth. I am terrified of dentists, and have been since I was a kid. My logic is that if I take care of my teeth I never have to sit in that grey chair of death! I started drinking coffee in high school and started to notice thaty teeth weren't as white as I would have liked. I sucked up my fear and went to the dentist. My dentist and I go way back, he does not like me going in as much as I don't like to go in. (News flash...I bite!) My teeth were healthy I just wanted them whiter. He recommended that I add a little hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to my toothpaste a couple time a week, then when my teeth get as white as I want them to only use it once in a while. I use it once a month to maintain my color (or lack of).
What I use baking soda most often for is my nails. I always have nail polish on. I find that sometimes the nail polish will stain my nails after a while. When I want to clean/whiten my nails I use a baking soda/hydrogen peroxide mixture. I take about a tablespoon of baking soda, add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide and mix. I continue to add a a few drops of hydrogen peroxide at a time, while I am mixing until I get a paste/whipped butter consistency. I put the mixture on my nails for 20 mins. When I wash it off my nails are clean, white and have almost a French tip look to them. I like to do this every so often as my nail care routine.
If you use baking soda in your beauty routine, let me know. As always lots of love from me to you :D
