More with Baking Soda

by Miss Maria Pauline

I use baking soda as a face scrub. Mix with water into a paste and rub in circular motions on oily spots. Removes oil effectively without nasty chemicals.

My face is usually spared from major breakouts. My secret is quite simple, I wash it with water twice a day. Once in a while, I will use some baking soda, but I have found that most soaps only make my skin dependent on them - by taking out necessary oils my skin feels the need to make more.

Baking soda is also good for nice teeth. Just add some to your regular toothpaste, that way you still get fluoride, but the baking soda makes teeth feel very clean and it whitens them.

Beauty Planner: The Winter Sun

Did you know in the winter the sun is closer to the earth and air is drier as well? That means the sunrays are closer to your skin and more harmful. Be sure to drink plenty of water and add some kind of protecant to your skin. Some suggest using sunscreen, though I don't know that aloe lotion wouldn't work just as well.

Beauty Planner: Tips From Starr Salon

Cleansing Tips

For Clean Locks:

You shouldn't shampoo your hair more than 2x a week, as it makes your hair too dry and flyaway.

When you shampoo your hair you should always wash it 2x with the shampoo before conditioner. The first time is to loosen the dirt and oils, and the second time is to make sure your hair is all the way clean.

Cleansing the Sensitive Eye Area:

When touching (or wiping) under your eye, you need to go (lightly) from the outside towards your nose.

Declatage:

Always wipe or rub up from the bottom of your neck up to your chin.
