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!
