We've discussed baking soda in the bathroom as a cleanser and health aid, but did you know it also has a place in your cosmetic drawer?

• To remove the residue that styling products, such as hairspray, leave behind, add a tablespoon of baking soda to your favourite shampoo.  Wash, rinse thoroughly and condition as usual.
• Chlorine can turn blond hair green.  Stop this from happening to you by rinsing your hair after swimming with lemon juice and 1/4 cup baking soda.   Rinse and shampoo as usual.
• Treat yourself to a relaxing bath soak!  Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to warm bath water to soothe and condition your skin.  Leaves your skin feeling fresh and silky smooth.
• Refresh tired skin with an invigorating, yet gentle facial scrub.   Apply a paste of three parts baking soda to one part water in a gentle circular motion after washing your face with soap and water.  It leaves your skin deep-down clean.
• Rub away the roughness of your elbows and knees with a baking soda -water paste.  Massage it into your skin and rinse with cool water.
