Arm & Hammer® Baking Soda Beauty Tips

We all know about the kitchen uses of Arm & Hammer. We bake with it, we place it in the fridge to get rid of odors and green cleaning.  But did you know you can also use it in your beauty regimen?

Here are some great tips for bringing a spa into your own home!

Beautiful with Baking Soda!

Stay fresh and beautiful the natural way with ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda!  Exfoliate your skin, jumpstart your home pedicure, rid your hair of chemical buildup, and freshen your breath… all for under a dollar! 

Facial Scrub and Body Exfoliant

For smooth, radiant skin, give yourself a gentle facial and body scrub with ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda.  Make a paste of 3 parts ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda to 1 part water.  Rub in a gentle circular motion to exfoliate skin and remove dead skin cells.  Rinse clean.  Gentle enough for daily use!

Hair Care

Get rid of product buildup by sprinkling a small amount (quarter-size) of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda into your palm along with your favorite shampoo.  Shampoo as usual and rinse thoroughly.  The ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda helps remove the residue that styling products leave behind so your hair is cleaner and more manageable.

Soothing Bath Soak

For a relaxing ending to a long day, add 1/2 cup of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda to your bath to neutralize acids on the skin and help wash away oil and perspiration.  Your skin will feel silky smooth!

Home Pedicure Foot Soak
Start your home pedicure by dissolving 3 tablespoons of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda in a basin of warm water and soak feet.  Gently scrub with a paste of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda. 

Pearly Whites

For gleaming smiles, brush teeth with ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda. . Just sprinkle baking soda into your palm, dip a damp toothbrush into it, and brush*. For a refreshing mouthwash, use 1 teaspoon baking soda in ½ glass of water. Swish the solution through your teeth and rinse.

*ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda does not contain the anti-cavity ingredient fluoride. Use it where water is fluorinated or when non-fluoride toothpaste is desired for adult use or as directed by your dentist of physician.

Hand Cleanser
Soften skin with a paste of 3 parts ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda to 1 part water.  Forget the harsh soaps and gently scrub away ground-in dirt and neutralize odors on hands with 3 parts ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda to your liquid hand soap.  Then rinse clean. 

Clean Brushes and Combs
For lustrous hair with more shine, keep brushes and combs clean with ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda.  Remove natural oil build-up and hair product residue by soaking combs and brushes in a solution of 1 teaspoon of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda in a small basin of warm water.  Rinse and allow to dry.

Natural Deodorant

Dust ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda under arms as needed to feel fresh all day.  The magic of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda actually absorbs odors instead of just covering them up. 



I Received:

A beautiful gift basket filled with everything I needed to make a spa like atmosphere!

I have a couple of favorites.  My family has been using Arm & Hammer® sprinkled on our tooth brushes for years.  I can remember as a child the taste of it.  It was not a fav back then for sure!  But as I got older the taste didn't seem to bother me as much.  Of course now I buy the paste with it already in it.☺  Very nice for your teeth.

The new found favorite of mine now is using it with my shampoo.  I sometimes use gels and hairsprays a bit much.  I can hold a lock of hair sideways and it doesn't bend!  Yeah, maybe more than a bit much.  But since using the Arm & Hammer in my shampoo, I can certainly feel a bit of difference afterward.

And I just love baths.  Don't you?!  Ahh.  I could spend all day in there if I knew my kids would never find me!  I try and make time to relax and soak when they're all asleep.  I love unwinding in a nice hot aromatic bath.  Adding in the Arm & Hammer® is just icing.  Who doesn't love softer skin!

I love that I can stock up on Arm & Hammer® when it goes on sale and not worry I'm wasting money.  I knew there were many uses, but now I have so much more!
