Baking soda is a true ally of beauty and budget. Have you ever wondered how many times you spent money on expensive beauty products that didn't work? Check out a list with eight uses of baking soda for beauty - an accessible substance, less harmful to the environment and the body - in cosmetics.

Replace conventional deodorant

  • 1/4 cup of baking soda;
  • 1/4 cup of coconut oil;
  • 1/4 cup of cornstarch.

Place the ingredients in a pan over low heat for about five minutes, until the coconut oil looks less "thick". Stir the mixture often. Remove the pan from the heat and stir the mixture a minute or two more, until it is completely smooth. Place the contents in an old deodorant tube or small bottle with a lid, and refrigerate for 12 hours before starting to use.

Skin scrub

  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda;
  • 1 tablespoon of pure honey.

Thoroughly mix all ingredients in a container until smooth. Apply the scrub to your clean face, making light, circular motions across the skin. Avoid the eye area. Let the solution act for five minutes and rinse with ice water.

Smoothes the effects of the shaving blade

  • 1 tablespoon of baking soda;
  • 500 ml of warm water.

Mix the water and baking soda and apply before and after using the blade. Thus, the skin is soft and smoothes the effects caused by the razor blade. It can also be used for razors on the leg, armpit, etc.

Makes the nail healthier, more beautiful and easier to remove the enamel and cuticle

  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda;
  • 1 cup of warm water.

Use the solution to massage the cuticle before removing the enamel.

Nail strengthening base

  • 3 drops of iodine;
  • Base for nails of the brand of your choice;
  • 2 pinches of baking soda.

Add the ingredients in the base jar and shake until completely mixed. Apply it to your nails whenever necessary and leave them without nail polish.

Beauty mask that helps to brighten the face

  • 1 tablespoon of baking soda;
  • Juice of half a lemon.

Apply over face, rubbing with hands. Leave on for 30 minutes and wash with cold water. Do not come into direct sunlight while having the solution on your face.

Remove underarm stains

  • 3 tablespoons of facial cleansing lotion (recipe above);
  • 1 coffee spoon of baking soda.

Mix the ingredients and apply in the region, leaving it to act for five minutes. Remove with ice water.

Anti-odor and moisturizing hand soap

  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda;
  • 200 ml of mild liquid soap.
