This information is from Grandparents.com and too good to keep to myself. This will be listed in 3 parts. Enjoy.
Women spend about $426 billion on beauty products each year. You
can forgo the expensive products and still look and feel fabulous with just one
do-it-all tool - and it only costs about a dollar. Find out how to use plain
old baking soda to get great hair, skin, nails, and more.
Help Your Hair
Drugstores and beauty
supply stores sell expensive shampoos, serums, and dry shampoo formulas to
combat product buildup, chlorine damage, and oily hair. All you need to solve
all three hair woes is a cheap box of baking soda. Add 1 teaspoon of baking
soda to your usual handful of shampoo to remove buildup, rinse hair with about
half a teaspoon dissolved in water to fight chlorine discoloration, or sprinkle
a small amount on your scalp and brush for a quick and easy dry shampoo. Baking
soda is a great cleaning agent, and easily lifts oils, discolorations, and
buildup on your scalp from hairsprays, conditioners, and other products.
Whiten Teeth
Several studies
published in the Journal of Clinical Dentistry found that not only were
toothpastes with baking soda more effective at removing plaque, but baking soda
also is more effective at whitening teeth than other products. Want a
make-at-home whitener? To banish coffee and wine stains from your smile, many
dentists recommend brushing with a powerhouse combination of baking soda and
strawberries, which contain malic acid, another natural stain-fighter. Mash a
ripe strawberry and combine with baking soda to form a paste. Brush onto teeth
for a few minutes, rinse, and then brush with regular toothpaste to remove
residue. A word of caution: Don’t use this treatment more than two or three
times a month, since too much malic acid could damage your tooth enamel.
