How to use Baking Soda for Grooming
July 23, 2010 | In: Beauty and Grooming
Baking soda is a cheap but very effective ingredient you can use not only for baking, or for cleaning the house, but it can also be an effective grooming aid.
Use baking soda to gargle. Simply dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water. Not only will this freshen and cleanse your mouth, but if you have canker sores, it would also help relieve them.
You can also clean your toothbrush, dentures and retainers with it, by letting it soak in a baking soda solution.
Make a paste from one part water and three parts baking soda and you can use it as a scrub for your face and body. If you have body odor or foot odor problems, this paste can also be used to wash feet and the armpits when you take a shower, and it makes an effective odor remover.
To soften and clean your skin, you can also add a cup of baking soda to warm bath water.
