17 unexpected ways to use baby powder in the country and at home

Baby powder is talcum powder, to which flavorings are sometimes added.A universal tool has found application in different areas of our lives, since talcum powder absorbs fat, sweat and odors well. I collected the 17 most demanded, in my opinion, tricks.

Instead of eyelash primer

Before applying the mascara, dust with a powder of cilia. Makeup will last longer, and the look will become expressive and attractive.

Dry shampoo

A worthy replacement for expensive means! It is enough to apply a little powder on the roots of the hair, it absorbs excess fat and freshens the hair. So you can clean the parting area and bangs, saving time for a full wash. We remove the remains with the hairdryer included in the gentle cold mode.

To start the absorption process, I recommend rubbing the powder into the hair roots with massage movements.

We fight skin problems

Advertising constantly offers us to buy expensive cosmetics for oily face care, special ointments against acne. Powder to help us! It has several properties that help to find healthy skin:

• reduces inflammation;
• relieves itching;
• prevents acne.

There is no feeling of dryness, as from other drugs.

On the face it fully replaces matting powder, evening tone and relief.

We scare away rodents

Mice, gophers and hares do not like the smell of baby powder. Summer residents have long noticed that sprinkling it with approaches to the beds, they no longer observe uninvited guests who love to enjoy seedling shoots and carefully grown crops.

Not! - rotting and mold

When the site is located in places of constant flooding, the groundwater is located very high or the rainy summer just stood out, the beds begin to suffer from excess moisture. In the future, this leads to mold and rotting of the crop. Powder saves the crop by absorbing excess moisture. It can be used to treat flower bulbs before planting, it is a good way to save from pests.

Not! - ants

Another scourge that haunts a person in a country villa and in a city apartment. Ants do not tolerate the smell of talc, so it is enough to pour it into places of accumulation and along paths. To protect the house from the penetration of ants, I advise you to regularly process the thresholds.

We bathe pets

Not all dogs and cats (especially cats!) Love to take a bath, but you need to get rid of dirt and odors. Cheap powder comes to our aid again! It acts as a dry shampoo and neutralizer of unpleasant odors, helping to clean the animal's fur coat. They are also sprinkled with pet hair after bathing, so we will speed up the drying process.

Remove bad breath from shoes

A long-known method, but let me remind you. After a hard day, you need to pour baby powder in the shoes, it will take away the accumulated moisture, prevent bacteria from multiplying and eliminate the unpleasant odor.

The new thing should be treated with powder! It reduces friction and the risk of corns.

Untangle jewelry

Thin bracelets and chains have an unpleasant property of tangling, no matter how we fold them neatly. You can unravel them in a simple way - sprinkle with talcum powder all the nodes and joints of the links. Then, with the help of a pin, we bring our favorite jewelry to its normal state.

We remove stains of fat and milk

Sprinkle on top of the dirt and a three-cotton pad to enhance the effect. The spots disappear after a few minutes.

Mustiness in cabinets

In confined spaces with poor ventilation, an unpleasant odor often infiltrates clothing. It is displayed simply and cheaply, it is enough to put a wide bowl with talcum powder inside somewhere in the corner. We periodically change the contents and enjoy the delicate smell!

Soften dry skin

The delicate texture of the powder is able to get rid of rough skin on the heels and elbows. Problem areas will become softer if you regularly wipe them with powder.

Clearing cards and books

A deck of cards is placed in a large box and sprinkled with talcum powder. Then close the lid and shake well. The tool absorbs the accumulated dirt, and the cards again become pleasant to the touch. They also clean old books, returning them to a presentable appearance.

Creaky floors

Over time, the boards begin to make annoying sounds. To get rid of the creak, the boards are sprinkled with a thick layer of talc, which is then scattered with a broom at the corners and cracks. The sound will become quieter.

Sand

After the beach, powder will liberate the adhering sand generously from wet parts of the body. We remember that it absorbs water perfectly.

The tool before hair removal

I advise you to powder with baby powder before waxing. The soreness of the procedure is reduced, the hairs are removed more easily, and after the procedure the skin will quickly return to a healthy appearance.

Freshness of linen

I want to spend summer stuffy nights on a cool bed. To achieve the desired effect, a little sprinkle with a sheet. It relieves discomfort by absorbing sweat.

Knowing these life hacks, you can greatly simplify your life without overpaying for expensive money.
