DIY:AMAZING USES OF BAKING SODA IN HEALTH CARE |
Hello ladies, today I am up with another DIY of an unusual skin care product which is widely available. Sadly we don’t know much
about the benefits of that. I am talking about Baking Soda. This kitchen
ingredient can do wonders to our skin, hair and body .
Truly speaking; it is a
multi-tasking yet inexpensive item that does magic on us if used regularly. Thus
it is the all-in all in total grooming session! ;) isn’t it amazing?

crystalline white product and can also be available as fine powder. This is an
alkaline substance which has anti-bacterial,
anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-septic properties.

Dental care. Let’s check how it benefits us: stay tuned! J
