Like putting out a grease fire in the kitchen. My younger brother, still does not believe this will work, and must test it at least twice a year.... But, I digress, although he would benefit greatly from this blog.
Have you uses baking soda for any health or beauty uses?
I have seen on pintrest some uses, some I already knew, and some I want to try.
Bee Sting relief: Mix baking soda and water into a paste. glob over sting. (my mother taught me this, and it works miracles, and great for little kids)
Tooth paste substitute/Whitener: I knew you could use baking soda as a tooth paste substitute, and that it has whitening properties, but never put them together. I found this great recipe on Pintrest for whitening your teeth, be careful whitening your teeth can lead to sensitive teeth! I am looking forward to try this after I get these braces off my teeth!

Shampoo: If you have super oily hair, baking soda will help with that! Try using it as a shampoo once a month. Or you can join the "no 'poo" movement. I think it is a little to 'hippie' for me. I already only wash my hair twice a week, and love my 97% natural shampoo. I thought CrunchyBetty wrote a post about baking soda Shampoo, but I can't find it... So check out this place.

Microderm abrasion: Mix 3 parts Baking Soda with 1 part water, gentle apply to face in a circular motion, rise. I want to try this. I have horribly dry skin, and currently use a Microderm Abrasion set I purchase for and arm and a leg, and I love it, but am not quite ready to pay again...

My grandma used to use baking soda as tooth paste and she had really healthy teethe, even in her old age. I didn't know about the microderm abrasion tho. I'm gonna try it.
ReplyDeleteI also mix extra baking soda into my cat's litter box to help absorb some of the kitty odors that the litter itself doesn't take care of.
