8 Great Reasons To Use Baking Soda For Beautiful Skin And Hair


While all women desire beauty, they carefully guard their beauty secrets. And it makes sense given that these techniques are natural ones that are both cheaper and more efficient than store-bought goods. Baking soda is a single component that has amazing health benefits for your body. This way, you can affordably make all of your friends envious.

The ingredient is very inexpensive and has endless benefits and uses in our homes and medical treatments: baking soda. This product has found its place in the world of cosmetics.

 

It exfoliates your skin
Excellent scrub for your skin, baking soda paste applied with oil of your choice (preferably coconut oil) helps clean your skin of dead cells, pollution residues, and dirt. To use, mix one part coconut oil with three part of baking soda and gently rub the part of your body you want to exfoliate. You can use this mixture to exfoliate your facial skin. Just rinse at the end with warm water and hydrate with a cream to soothe the skin and prevent irritation.

 

It cleans your hair
Contrary to what one might think, baking soda does not attack your hair. The best way to clean your hair is to incorporate in your usual shampoo a sufficient amount of baking soda to exfoliate your scalp and degrease it. Baking soda is composed of cleaning agents that remove fat from your scalp. Massage your hair gently and let the mixture stand for 10 minutes before washing. However, it should not be used by people with dyed hair, because the baking soda is known to have bleaching effect.

 

It moisturizes the skin of the elbows and knees
In winter, your elbows and knees may suffer from lack of moisture. Their skin becomes rough, dark and unsightly. Mix some baking soda with your daily moisturizer and apply it on the dry areas. Massage well to remove any rough edges.

 

It softens your hands
Baking soda is also used to soften the hands. Just exfoliate your hands with baking soda so your hands become softer. For this, mix baking soda with an oil of your choice (choose a moisturizing oil such as sweet almond oil) to form a paste and apply it on your hands.

 

It whitens your teeth
As it is a powerful cleaner with its astringent molecules and exfoliating grains, it is very effective to whiten the teeth and remove yellow stains. For this, mix water, baking soda, and brush your teeth with toothpaste. You can also use it as a mouthwash to fight bad breath. But it is important to note that baking soda could have an inverse and adverse effect on your teeth when used too often because of its abrasive effect. It should be used once a week; otherwise it will destroy the enamel of your teeth.

 

It neutralizes odors
It is effective in removing unwanted odors. Form a paste of water and baking soda and apply it under your armpits to remove odor-causing bacteria. It can even remove the darkness of your armpits and make them clearer.

 

It fights against acne
One of the most effective solutions that our grandmothers used is to treat acne. Mix some baking soda with lemon and apply it on the acne. But be careful not to expose yourself on the sun if you use this method, because the lemon could damage your skin if exposed to sunlight. It is therefore preferable to use this method at night and not more than once a week since it can irritate your skin.

 

It soothes your feet
Again this is a grandmother’s trick. Baking soda has a relaxing effect and removes dead cells. Mix three tablespoons baking soda in a basin of warm water and soak your feet. Positive effect is guaranteed!
