The benefits of talcum powder

Remember talcum powder (Yes the one you used when you were a baby)?

Well you should actually use it now. Why? Here are 3 reasons:

1. You have greasy hair. Damn you’re out of dry shampoo, and BONUS you’re late. Don’t freak out. Talcum powder will solve your problem. Simply apply some on your scalp and roots or directly on your hairbrush, and brush your hair. Admire the result. You’re welcome.

2. It’s summer. The sun is shining bright. You decide to wear a tank top cause it’s really hot outside. OOPS. You just realized that your deodorant bottle is empty. You start to panic. You have to meet up with your friends in 15 minutes. You think “I’ll never make it on time…”.Eventually you swear like you’ve never sworn before. And then you remember that your parents are still home. Oops again. Well here is a homemade remedy for you. Put some talcum powder in your hands and apply it under your armpits. There you have it. Fresh and sweat free armpits. But that’s not the best part. Your skin will not feel irritated anymore (as it might be when you apply deodorant after you shaved or just because you have sensitive skin and your deodorant is kindly giving birth to itchy red underarms). You might want to say “thank you talcum powder”.

3. You have to head to the gym tomorrow. You are about to grab your favorite pair of sneakers. But something is wrong. Your shoes smell. You don’t know what to do. Well, there is a solution for you.  Pour some talcum powder inside your shoes and leave it overnight. When  you try them on the day after, the smell is gone. You’ll never have to worry about smelly shoes again. You might also want to try this trick on your ballet flats or whatever shoes that tends to make your feet sweat.

Now enjoy your summer and don’t worry about the heat anymore. Talcum powder is here for you.
