...you wash your mouth out with soap young lady!

hands up if you want whiter teeth!
Id love to have whiter teeth but i refuse to pay £200 a session to get them done! So being a lover of DIY beauty i had a nosy around to see what homemade alternatives there are!
Now don't get me wrong, your not going to get amazing results straight away but stick at it and you'll notice a difference!
Theres a lot of at home options (many scarily using peroxide!!!) an i stumbled across a few techniques but , as always, i tried them out myself first. There are many options but this one was the weirdest, so of course i had to check it out...
SOAP!!
Using soap in the place of toothpaste twice a day is a brilliant whitening alternative according to many fans across the world! The science is that toothpaste contains glycerin and this coats your teeth, stopping enamel growing back and essentially 'sealing' stains in. Soap on the other hand does not contain glycerin, there for allows your teeth to 'breath' and it removes the stains!
The down side is the taste, (warning: If u were ever a naughty little ragamuffin and your mommy washed your mouth out with soap and water, it might be like having flashbacks), but if found of u keep your tongue out the way and use mouthwash after the problem is gone!
I noticed the difference from the first wash and my teeth feel squeaky clean! The soap is gentle enough so u can use it everyday too! Id recommend using Dove, but any soap without glycerin will do =)
You simply rub your wet toothbrush head onto the bar soap (NEVER USE LIQUID SOAP!) and brush in circular motions over your teeth and gums and what do u know! Shiny, white lovely teeth.
I am also currently trying out using bicarbonate of soda for a week to see if that helps! Ill keep you updated and next you know in a future post!!
