How to make homemade deodorant:

Mix some baking soda with some corn starch. You can buy corn starch in supermarket.
If it feels to grainy, add more corn starch.
If you still smell sweaty after using it, add more baking soda.

try 2 x spoons of baking soda, 1 spoon of corn starch.

You can also add a drop of coconut oil.

How to put on the armpits:
Wet your armpits. Using wet fingers, put the powder on the armpits.
Use toilet paper to remove excess damp.


How to make homemade shampoo:

Use baking soda. 2 times. You can dissolve a spoon or two of baking soda in a cup of warm water, if you want. Or spray the powder directly onto your hair.

Rinse with squeezed lemon juice. You need 1/2 or 1/4 of lemon. You can dissolve it in half a cup or less (approx 1dl) of warm water and use that. I suggest using plastic cup. :)

If you do not have lemon, use "4 percent" ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar). Put 10-ish drops of it in a half cup of warm water. You should not use a lot of Apple Cider Vinegar, because the smell will be too strong.

You can add a drop of lavender oil. It's scent is said to have a calming effect.




How to make homemade toothpaste:

Mix some baking soda with "3 percent" hidrogen peroxide. You can buy hidrogen peroxide at the drugstore.
You can add aromatic oil if you want. One drop is all you need. You can put it in 10cm tube, they sell vitamins in.
