Cheap Whitening Toothpaste

A few years ago I wanted to whiten my teeth without buying one of the expensive whitening kits. I researched and googled ideas and recipes. I ended up combining and morphing ideas together.

My homemade whitening toothpaste recipe:

Ingredients:

-Mix the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide in a tub until it makes a paste. Then add it a small squeeze of your toothpaste and mix well.

 

I use it 2-3 times a week. Disclaimer: My gums were sensitive the first few weeks of using it, but it got better quickly. My dentist appointments have been a breeze since I added this to my routine too. My cleanings are only about 15 minutes and cavity free. Saves money and super easy! 

 

Ask Santa for a Clarisonic’s Facial Cleansing Brush!

I honestly have no idea how I have lived the last 32 years without the Clarisonic Facial Cleansing Brush. After my last pregnancy, my complexion drastically changed. My skin became extremely dry and sensitive. I’ve been desperately looking for a product to help reduce the dry patches I experience around my nose and chin, especially during the winter months. I’m so excited to say I finally found my resolution! I saw immediate results after the first use of Clarisonic’s Mia 2 Facial Sonic Cleansing Brush.

 

The Mia 2 Facial Sonic Cleansing Brush has two speeds. Speed 1 is for sensitive skin days and speed 2 is for daily cleansing. The micro-massage motion works to remove makeup, dirt, sweat, and oil to deep clean pores. The easy to follow instructions make using it the first time a breeze. I use it once nightly, but it’s so gentle it can become a part of your morning and night time regimens.    

After just the first week of use, my skin feels so soft, smooth and so much healthier. My dry patches have completely disappeared. My son is even 100% convinced that my freckles have been scrubbed off since my foundation gives such better coverage now.

 

There are some awesome gift sets on sale right now! I can’t wait to show off my new holiday glow at all the my Christmas activities this year!

I did receive this product complimentary but all opinions are my own.
