4 beauty uses for baking soda
Not just for baking or cleaning, this pantry favourite can also be used on your body as an inexpensive beauty treatment. Here’s how.
Dry shampoo
Heard of dry shampoo? It's a great way to hide oily hair inbetween washes. But it's just another beauty product to buy. Step in baking soda. All you have to do is simply prinkle a pinch or two onto oily hair, leave it for a minute and then brush it out and style as normal.
Deodorant
For a natural alternative to harmful spray deodorants, use baking soda instead. All you have to do it mix it with water - to make a paste - and then apply and voila, homemade deodorant.
Cuticle softener
Instead of using tools that can be painful to remove your cuticles, why not try a baking soda paste to soften them first. Just add some water and baking soda together in a small dish and either soke your fingertips in the dish or rub the paste onto your cuticles. Now your cuticles can easily be removed.
Body exfoliator
Using baking soda in the showe is not only a gently way to remove dead skin cells, it's natural too.
