1. Cleansing Shampoo
If you use a little too much dry shampoo sometimes, you can start to experience a buildup of the product that leaves your hair kind of dirty. Add a teaspoon of baking soda to your normal shampoo and wash as usual. The added exfoliating ingredient will tackle that stubborn buildup and cleanse your hair really well.
2. Dry Shampoo
And speaking of dry shampoo, you could literally use bicarb as an alternative if you want! It basically does the same thing as the branded spray cans that you buy, but thanks to its own chemical makeup, there is less of a chance of the dreaded buildup.
3. Teeth Whitening
If you want to achieve a nice white set of teeth without having to undergo some sort of cosmetic procedure, then bicarb can help you out. Whip up an easy mixture of sea salt, coconut oil, peppermint oil, and baking soda and brush with it for amazing results.
4. Clean Makeup Brushes
You can use bicarb to really effectively clean your hairbrushes and makeup brushes. Fill a bowl with warm water and add a few teaspoons of the powder. Leave your brushes in there to soak and all of the bacteria and debris will be taken off them with no effort.
If you're in the relentless hunt for the perfect mascara, that not only volumizes but also gives your lashes the much-needed lift, then you should absolutely give the dior show mascara a try. It's undeniably one of the best mascaras that guarantees both length and volume while leaving no clumps behind.
5. Smoother Skin
Bicarb can act as a natural exfoliator for your skin to make it smoother and more healthy. Baking soda helps to remove the sebum and dead skin cells on the surface, and its antimicrobial benefits can help to prevent the risk of skin infections.
