Baking soda is here to prove its versatility as a multi-purpose beauty wonder. Here are seven more fantastic benefits you can get from baking soda:

1.) Natural Whitening Toothpaste

What's cheap, natural, and can whiten your teeth? The answer is baking soda! There are many ways in which you can brush with baking soda, according to New Health Guide. You can pair baking soda with any of the following: water, vinegar, toothpaste, strawberry, hydrogen peroxide, salt, lemon juice, and peppermint extract and glycerin.

2.) Acne Treatment

Topically applying baking soda to the skin can open the pores and get rid of dead skin cells and sebum, according to MDhealth. To treat acne, make a paste using water, apply, and then gently rub on face then leave for 15 minutes. Rinse well with water.

3.) Dry Shampoo

Trying to abstain from the harsh chemicals in hair products? You can get rid of the gunk, oil, and dirt in your hair naturally with baking soda, according to Surviving the Stores. All you need to do is to sprinkle baking soda on your hair and brush it like you would a dry shampoo.

4.) Diaper Rash Treatment

Is the diaper rash of your infant not getting any better? According to WebMD, baking soda can be used to treat the rash. Put two tablespoons of baking soda in a basin of warm water and soak your baby in the bath for 10 minutes.

5.) Body Scrub

If you can use baking soda as an organic face wash, you can also use it as a body scrub. The merits of adding baking soda to your beauty routine are plentiful because it is cheap, gentle on the skin, and proven to be effective. According to Budget Friendly Too, baking soda is a natural cleanser and exfoliant.

6.) Breath Freshener

If mouthwashes turn you off because they sting too much due to their alcohol content, you might want to try baking soda as a natural breath freshener. Aside from using baking soda for the teeth, it is also effective in getting rid of unbecoming mouth odors, according to Healing Teeth Naturally. Use it as a rinse and instantly feel your mouth refreshed.

7.) Shampoo

Trying to get rid of the buildup of products in your hair by not using another product? Try using baking soda as a clarifying shampoo, according to Mind Body Green. Baking soda as a shampoo is simple and chemical free.
