Avon Whitening Essentials Toothpaste Original Cool Mint






How do you feel about your teeth?  Are you self conscious?  Well believe it or not when your teeth are bright and white you look younger.  Just daily wear and tear of eating and drinking can leave stubborn stains on your tooth surface.  To achieve the most dramatic results in tooth whiting you will need to visit your dentist for a professional cleaning.  A con to this professional treatment is the cost anywhere from $200-$1500.  

If you are like me that amount of money is not in your budget, good news!  Over counter tooth, whiteners have come a long way.  The results you can get with an over the counter product now rivals what your doctor can provide.  There are some things to consider when whitening at home.  



What's the best way to whiten your teeth at home?


There are 3 options on types of whiteners.  You have the options of toothpaste, strips, or light devices.  Toothpaste offers minimal results,  strips, and light devices are more effective because they come in direct contact with the tooth surface for longer periods of time.  


Whitening Toothpaste

Most of these toothpaste contains a mild abrasive like calcium carbonate, hydrated silica, and sodium bicarbonate.  These mild abrasives polish and remove stains.   It is recommended that you use use a paste with peroxide, to achieve the best results.  Using twice a day for about 5 days or more you should notice visible results.


Whitening strips and trays

This is where a plastic strip, tray, or mold is used to apply the bleaching agent hydrogen directly to the teeth.  A session lasts anywhere from  30 mins to two hours.  This needs to be done for about three weeks to see results.  If you want fast results this is the way to go.


Whitening light devices

A whiting agent is directly applied to your teeth.  Then a blue LED light is held over them.  This increases penetration and accelerates results.  This is effective again because of the amount of time the agent is in direct contact with the teeth for a longer time.

THE # 1 THING TO CONSIDER IN FASHION

Underwear that Fits Correctly ARTICLE: https://www.notdressedaslamb.com/2017/03/the-number-1-trick-that-makes-all-your-clothes-look-good.html There is one very easy trick to making all your clothes look good (even when you’re wearing your own 34-year-old Duran Duran t-shirt – the oldest piece of clothing I own by a very, very long way). That number 1 trick? Get your underwear right. Oh, I can’t tell you how many years I spent wearing the wrong kind of underwear. The wrong size bra, ill-fitting knickers, the wrong  shape  bras… I’ve learnt a new trick just recently – but first, that t-shirt! My original Duran Duran Seven and the Ragged Tiger tour t-shirt is mine –  from 1983 . I cannot tell you how happy I am to be wearing my most treasured t-shirt and oldest item in my wardrobe, an item I thought until recently was most probably lost. I knew I hadn’t deliberately got rid of it, I just knew I’d put it somewhere ‘safe’ (that old chestnut!) and I’d been looking for it for years.

Vitamins Needed for Healthy Skin

Research suggests that some vitamins might play a key role in skin health. In many cases, these vitamins are most effective when a person applies them directly to the skin. Following a healthful, balanced diet that is free of vitamin and nutrient deficiencies may improve skin health by boosting overall health. Vitamin A Many multivitamins contain 100 percent or more of the recommended daily intake of  vitamin A . Other  good sources of vitamin A  include carrots, dark leafy green vegetables,  sweet potatoes , and  eggs . Retinoids, including retinol, tretinoin, isotretinoin, and similar chemicals, are manufactured forms of vitamin A. B-complex vitamins Several  B-complex vitamins  may improve skin health. The water-soluble vitamins are readily available as supplements, including as supplements that include all 12 B-complex vitamins. Research into the role of vitamin B-complex supplements is promising, though inconclusive. A  2018 study  found that vitam
