BEAUTY AND HEALTH RECIPES WITH BAKING SODA

Baking soda has been used for centuries in cooking and chores. But few people think that it can be successfully used for cosmetic purposes. And completely in vain. Baking soda is a wonderful product with which you can cheaply, but effectively care for your face, body, hair, and also forget about dentists.

1. Make an effective peeling.

Just add a pinch of soda to your regular foam or wash gel, you can mix them right in the palm of your hand. Foam and apply on the face with gentle movements. Massage your face for a few minutes, then rinse with cool water. This gentle scrub, cleansing the skin of dead cells and opening the pores of the face, will make the skin smooth and tender. It is especially suitable for sensitive and irritation-prone skin, as soda has a softening and anti-inflammatory effect.

2. Treat acne.

Washing with a warm soda solution is good for acne. The solution dries the skin, reduces inflammation and irritation. On some large blackheads, you can also apply slurry from soda and leave for several hours - blackheads will pass faster.

3. Mask for problem skin.

Mix 2 tbsp. flour (wheat, oat, buckwheat) or starch with 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Dilute the mixture with warm water until gruel forms. Apply the mask to the cleansed face with light circular movements, leave for 10-15 minutes. Then wash off the mask with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. Perform the procedure once a week.

4. Clean your hair from unnecessary "chemistry".

Soda well removes hair from fat and residues of various cosmetic products - gels, varnish, excess masks, etc. Mix your regular shampoo with soda in a 4: 1 ratio, then wash your hair as usual. The hair will be very soft and shiny. Good news for bright blondes, brunettes and red-haired: this mixture is very gentle on dyed hair, so that your color does not fade.

5. Add whiteness to the teeth.

When brushing your teeth, “spice up” a toothbrush with a paste of soda with a pinch of soda. This soft abrasive scrub cleans stains from teeth without damaging tooth enamel.

6. Relieve gum disease.

For gum disease, mix baking soda with a little water until a toothpaste-like mixture forms. Then apply this mixture with your fingers along the gum line and massage with a soft toothbrush.

7. Remove the smell.

As a result of the vital activity of bacteria, acids are formed in the mouth that destroy the tooth enamel and cause bad breath. These acids can be neutralized by rinsing the oral cavity several times a day with baking soda at the rate of 1 cup of warm water for 1 teaspoon of soda. A solution of soda also helps eliminate the pungent odor of sweat in the armpits and the unpleasant odor of the feet.

8. Remove the swelling.

Soda helps to remove excess water from the body, so it can be successfully used to treat swelling of the eyelids and bags under the eyes. Make a solution of soda (for 1 cup of water 1 tsp of soda) or add soda to the tea that has been drunk, soak cotton pads in the solution, squeeze them lightly and put them on your eyelids or under your eyes for 10-15 minutes.

9. Bathe for good.

To relax in a pleasant atmosphere after a busy day, you do not have to spend money on expensive salts and foams. Try to make such a bath mixture: from soda (2 tablespoons), salt (2 tablespoons) and (optionally) a few drops of essential oil. All ingredients must be mixed, stored in a jar, add one tablespoon to the bath. This solution calms the nervous system and makes the skin smooth and supple. In addition, after such a bath, the manifestations of cellulite are reduced.

10. Clean brushes and sponges.

To clean cosmetic accessories from the remnants of old cosmetics and dirt, you can also use an aqueous solution of soda. Unlike soap, it does not leave a deposit on the brushes and sponges, and their villi do not stick together, but rather become fluffy and smooth. The same solution cleans combs and hair brushes well. Just soak the combs and brushes in a concentrated soda solution for 3-4 hours, and then rinse them under running water - the dirt will go away.
