Talcum powder aka baby powder smells really good and keeps the baby feeling fresh and even makes their skin supple. Not just that, you can do so much more with this baby powder. You can use it in many different ways. The best part about these powders is that they're inexpensive and you can make use of it for a lot of things.
Here's all that you can do with the baby powder:
- Moisturize: If you have rough patches on your skin, cracked heels or even chafing, you can simply apply some baby powder on the affected area and it will do away with the irritation.
- Get rid of shoe odours: Your shoes get stinky if you don't take good care of them or if your feet are too sweaty. This is when you can use a powder to get rid of the pesky odour. Just sprinkle some of it in your shoes and let it sit overnight.
- Keep the closet fresh: Your closet drawers and wardrobes can get some unpleasant odour if you haven't deep-cleaned them in a while. Baby powder can help absorb moisture from these spaces and make them smell fresh.
- Keep lipstick stay longer: If you apply a lip colour, place a tissue on the lips and dust some powder and then apply a second coat of lipstick, it will last for a long time.
- Defined eyelashes: You can apply a lash coating with the use of baby powder on your lashes and then apply another coat of your mascara to get thicker and longer lashes. This will also prevent smudging and helps the mascara stay intact.
- Use it as a dry shampoo: You can take a pinch of this powder and apply it to the roots of your hair. You can blend it in with a brush to get rid of the whiteness on your hair. The powder will help absorb oil on the scalp and give your hair some nice volume.
- Removes sand from the body: If you've had a breach day, it can mean you having sand all over your body. Removing the sand can be a task later. This is when you should sprinkle some baby powder over the area and the sand will come off quite well.
- Untangle necklaces: It's quite irritating to untangle a necklace you've been meaning to wear. It could also mean your necklace can break if you try too hard. Sprinkle some powder on the chain, it will loosen up the knots easily.
