Baking soda is useful far beyond the kitchen. You probably know that you can clean your house with baking soda, but did you know it can also come in handy as part of your beauty regimen? Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which helps to regulate pH, and that makes it great for beauty recipes.<\/p>\n

How does it work? Baking Soda helps items maintain the perfect acidity level and can also buffer substances from further pH changes. These dual capabilities allow it to neutralize odors, such as in your refrigerator, and maintain a pH level, such as in laundry water. Enough with the science, let\u2019s throw open the garage door<\/a> and show you how you can use baking soda in your personal care.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. <\/strong>Facial Scrub: <\/strong>You can give yourself an inexpensive and invigorating body scrub and facial. Start by creating a paste with three parts baking soda per each part water. Exfoliate your skin by rubbing it in a circular motion. It is gentle enough to use every day. Need another scrub recipe? Maria has a great baking soda and honey face scrub recipe<\/a> to leave your face glowing.<\/li>\n
  2. Toothpaste: <\/strong>Paste made with a three percent hydrogen peroxide solution and baking soda is a great replacement for commercially-sold non-fluoride paste.

  3. Mouthwash: <\/strong>Take four ounces of water and add a teaspoon of baking soda. You instantly have an odor-neutralizing rinse.<\/li>\n
