Ok, so the economy sucks ass.
And let’s face it: beauty products aren’t a top priority.
So next time you’re strapped for cash & can’t shell out a hundo on beauty products, just simply reach in the cupboard!
Why?
Because baking soda will rock your world:
+ Bombshell hair:
Removes buildup: mix a tiny palm-full of the powder in your shampoo, conditioner, mousse, &/or hairspray to remove sickie buildup.
Dry shamps: sprinkle a dab on your hair and comb through it while using a blow dryer.
Combs/brushes: clean your brushes, peeps. You can do this by soaking brushes in warm water with a few tablespoons of baking soda.
+ Glowing skin:
Exfoliant: mix baking soda with your favorite facial cleanse ( I like this one ). It works as an amazing exfoliant. Yay!
Elbow skin: you know that old gross skin that everyone has on their elbows? LOL. Use this to get rid of it!
Shaving: you can use one tablespoon of baking soda with a cup of water a shaving ‘cream.’
+ Sexy nails:
Cuticles: scrub nails & toenails with a old toothbrush ( << or your boyfriend’s. JK- kinda. ). Just dip the toothbrush in baking soda with a bit of water & get scrubbin’.”
+ White teeth:
Pearly whites: the powder freshens breath & whitens/polishes teeth. Use baking soda & all natural toothpaste ( like this kind ) for double whitening!
Clean your tooth brush: soak it in a mixture of water + baking soda overnight.
News flash: just because it’s not a gazillion dollars, don’t mean it’s crap. Baking soda is cheap, easy, & effective!

How awesome is this! So glad you shared!! Will be using!!
I used Baking Soda all the time as a face exfoliant!
I never knew that you were supposed to wash your combs and brushes. And I thought baking soda was just for cooking and to make your refrigerator smell better. I’ll defiently be making my own shaving cream now. Thanks for this post!

I love baking soda! These days I mostly use it as “shampoo”. I used to use it to wash my face, but have since switched to the oil cleansing method.
I had no idea it was good for shaving! I will definitely have to try that out. Usually I just use hair conditioner.
Love it! Totally going to mix it in with my CeraVe cleanser tonight! XO
Baking soda is really magic for teeth ! I also use listerine with hydrogen peroxide before brushing my teeth… They shine bright like a diamond 😉
LOVE,…LOVE…Love the tooth whitening idea!
This is the power of baking soda! I know baking soda gives good results on achieving pearly white teeth but I never knew that baking soda could also be used on hair, nails and skin. Truly, baking soda should never be ignored. I might include it on my beauty regimen!
