How To Get Rid Of Bad Breath With Home Remedies

If your morning breath lasts all day, it might be time to take action.


You Will Need:
Citrus fruit
2 tsp. baking soda
2 sprigs parsley
2-3 cloves
Black or green tea
Water or fruit juice (optional)


Step 1
Eat citrus fruit and other foods high in vitamin C to prevent bad breath. Eat one piece of fruit after each meal.

Step 2
Mix baking soda in one liter of water. Gargle this mixture once or twice a day.

Step 3
Boil two cups water and add parsley and cloves. Stir and let steep for five minutes. Use this as a mouthwash twice a day. Chew on fresh parsley for a quick freshen-up. Drink water or fruit juice throughout the day. Keeping the mouth moist prevents bad breath.

Step 4
Avoid bad-breath-causing foods such as ginger, garlic, onions, fish, cheese, and alcohol, especially whiskey. Brush your teeth twice daily, floss, and use a tongue scraper.

Step 5
Drink green and black teas, which are filled with breath-freshening polyphenols.

Did You Know?

Did you know? Onions and garlic cause bad breath because of their high sulfur content.

Fekkai Classic to Change Retail Address in 2010

Starting next year famed Hollywood Hair extraodinare Frederic Fekkai will be selling his products at Walgreens and Target. Although this strikes as a great idea to conservative consumers, Sephora isn't too keen on the idea. In response to Fekkai's decision, the specialty retail store announced that it will be dropping the line. What's my response to this: its Sephora's loss and our gain!

The classic items that we're all too familiar with - Glossing, Full Volume, and Technician Color lines will be sold at Walgreens and Target. However, the recently launched Fekkai Advanced will continue to be sold at high-end retailers - Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. Even though the lines are changing addresses, the prices will remain high-end, with products set to run between $20 and $30, just as they did at Sephora.

This will be a great way for Fekkai to introduce his line of products to consumers who normally wouldn't frequent Sephora or Neiman Marcus. Most of the time it is usually the store, and not price, that turns the consumer off from buying (or even inquiring about) the product. With the new year comes change and this is definitely a change that we all can agree with!
