- Sprinkle a dash in your hand and mix with water, until it is pasty. Rub this over your face at least once a day as if it was a cleaner. You will notice after the first use that your skin is refreshed, lightly exfoliated, and clean! Using this also helps reduce the appearance of large pores.
- 1-2 times a day, create a paste again and brush your teeth with it. You will notice whiter teeth by the third use. And who doesn't love a beautiful white smile? Do this a week on then take about 4-6 months off to avoid tooth damage.
- Use baking soda to remove chlorine from your hair after swimming in a pool. Create the paste again, apply like conditioner, leave on for 3-5 minutes and rinse out.
