Whitening your teeth at home!

Hellooo guys:)


♥I know my last post wasn't anything "beauty" related. So I decided to give you all a little insight to my weekly routine of teeth whitening:)

ingredients & equipment:
♥Bicarbonate of Soda
♥Half a lemon/lime
♥And a little dish to mix
♥Teaspoon
♥A toothbrush you don't use normally


♥Next, you need to take a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and pour it onto the dish.












♥Then, using the half of lemon or lime, squeeze the juice onto the bicarbonate powder. But not all of the juice because you want to form a paste and not a liquid.



♥Using a different toothbrush to your normal one, mix the juice and the Bicarbonate powder together to form a paste. If you have used too much juice, then just add more Bicarbonate and visa versa.

















♥The formed "paste" should look something like this and be a mix of runny and thick. >>







♥Then, you taking the dish and toothbrush to your bathroom so you don't make a mess, brush the paste all over your teeth. Before you ask me, yes it probably will taste horrible, but doing it once a week, you get used to the taste. (make sure you do not swallow any of the paste!)



♥Then rinse your mouth out afterwards with water, making sure you haven't swallowed anything.



♥When you are done, brush your teeth with your normal toothpaste and toothbrush, and you may notice a difference straight away, however I only noticed small differences and gradually as the weeks went by, they got whiter and whiter and people started to notice which I was happy about.



♥I would recommend only doing it once a week, as more than that could destroy the natural enamel on your teeth and make them very weak. So, once a week!





Hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful!

    This sounds like a good idea, but I would be very careful using lime. I know that citrus foods ruin the enamel in your teeth, which makes them look see through. Google it if you don't know what I mean haha! Be careful :D
    I followed you :D x
