Baking soda is also surprisingly good for body care. The powder can be used for skin, hair and dental care.
Brush your teeth with baking soda:
With baking soda, stubborn plaque and discoloration can be easily removed. In addition, baking soda has a neutralizing effect due to its alkaline properties and is effective against bad breath. Just put a little baking soda on your toothbrush and then brush your teeth as usual.
Since the baking soda, like any bleaching, attacks the enamel of the teeth, we recommend not consuming any coloring substances, such as coffee, after brushing.
Making deodorant with baking soda:
You can also easily make your own deodorant with baking soda. Due to the basic active ingredient in baking soda, it has a neutralizing effect and also prevents the formation of odour-causing bacteria. To make the deodorant, put a teaspoon of baking soda in a spray bottle and add decalcified water. For the fragrance, we recommend adding a few drops of essential oils to the baking soda-water mixture – and the deodorant is ready!
Baking soda for hair:
Baking soda is ideal for removing hair gel or hairspray from your hair. Simply mix some baking soda into the shampoo and massage into wet hair. Then let the shampoo-soda mixture take effect and rinse with warm water. Since baking soda also has an exfoliating effect, it also cares for the scalp.
