£300 Teeth whitening???? Or beautygeekfashionchic's do it yourself version for under £3.00.........!
Hello my lovellies, if like me your obsessed with fashion and beauty and spend time looking at the celeb mags ,then you will know that they all have gorgeous sparkly diamond white smiles.
Now let's face facts they have spent thousands on expensive veneers or at the very least tooth whitening procedures.
Now also if like me you don't have thousands (or even hundreds of pounds spare) to spend on achieving a smile
simon cowell would be proud of then i have got a little trade secret for you.
The bicarbonate of soda and lemon tooth whitening treatment.
Now if you look in a lot of the ingredients in tooth whitening tooth pastes then you will notice bicarbonate of soda is used frequently. This is because it gets rid of stains (tea, coffee, cola, "cough cough" nicotine)etc.
The lemon is used for the citric acid.
Lemon, bicarbonate of soda and my before smile |
To the powder you need to squeeze fresh (or if you have to, then bottled will do but make sure its pure lemon juice.)
The second the juice hits the powder it reacts and froths up.
Now you can get it to a consistency that you like.
Actually like is not a word to be used here because believe me you need to hold your breath the second you begin because the taste is dreadful.
You get a toothbrush and dip it into the mixture(after you have give it a mix and got a nice paste)
Brush your teeth for as long as you can stand or about 3 minutes.
The taste is disgusting, like a really salty bleachy kind of yukiness eughh...... your tongue wants to escape from your mouth and you want to hunt me down and ram the remaining mixture down my throat, but before you hit the unfollow button, get a glass of water, rinse your mouth out and look in the mirror.
Hopefully you will notice a whiter set of teeth shining back at you.
The first treatment wont be a miracle but if you do it weekly you should notice a huge difference.
Don't do this treatment frequently (more than once a week) as the acid in the lemon will damage your enamel if done say on a daily basis.
If done weekly and you rinse with water (you will want to ,to rid your mouth of the taste lol) then no harm should be done.
Remember it is recommended to visit a dentist every six months anyway.
And voila there you have it, it may take a few weeks to achieve but its a lot kinder on your wallet leaving you with more money to spend on new shoes...bags..lipgloss....you get my drift lols.
