Anyone who briefly misuses baby powder will find with astonishment: It can do so much more than protect children’s poses!
Baby powder is intended for baby poses? Sure, that was definitely the original idea. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have other hidden talents. We’ll show you what else the skin care product can do.
Danger: If you want to be on the safe side, use a talc-free powder in areas where it comes on the skin or could be inhaled. There are studies that suggest that talc can be carcinogenic.
No more welding edges
When ironing, simply sprinkle some baby powder on the areas where sweat lines could form and iron it in. Easy on the laundry and your nerves!
Deodorant is empty?
Speaking of sweat. Since the powder absorbs moisture, it can also be used directly as a deodorant substitute.
Gold when it comes to waxing
Apply a layer of baby powder to the skin before waxing. This will make her less irritated by the procedure.
When the shoes squeak
Embarrassing when every step through the office makes a squeak. Help is coming – because the baby powder is already there. Sprinkle something on the soles of your shoes and there should be peace in the (shoe) box.
Off to the beach bag!
Do you know when it feels like half the beach sticks to your skin? If you put baby powder on it beforehand, the granules can be rubbed off more easily. Definitely try it out!
Phew, that smells!
The shoes smell unpleasant again? Phew, you could use an expensive foot spray now. Or you can take some baby powder. It is best to leave it on overnight!
Don’t rub yourself a wolf!
Ouch the big bad wolf! We know it mainly from summer time. If you put baby powder between your thighs, you can prevent the painful rubbing.
Replace dry shampoo
Sometimes you just don’t have the time or inclination to wash your hair. The baby powder solution: Simply put a little on the hairline and brush in.
