STAINED SMILE???

As we grow older so does our smile. 





Of course there are ways to combat the aging of our smiles. Why should our smiles tell or intense our age?! Sorry people but I do plan on staying young looking at best as I can. LOL.

There are many factors that contributes to aging our smiles: what we eat, what we drink, and the lip colours we use.

Our smiles are the first things people actually notice about us. What we drink greatly deters how others view our smiles. I am quite sure some of us enjoy the occasional grape juice, diet coke, dr.pepper, or pepsi but using a straw will help to eliminate the problem of stains these drinks will create. 

What we eat also determines the aging power of our smiles. Eating a lot of acidic contents eats away the enamel which makes it easier for our smiles to suffer but drinking a lot of water will help reduce the after effects. I am happy to say research shows eating apples, celery, pears, cucumbers, and carrots (which are high in water content) helps in creating the necessary saliva to help combat the staining of our teeth. It also helps in keeping the mouth clean. I will definitely be stocking up.

Other ways to help bring about the beauty of our smiles would be to get our teeth whitened. Of course not many people have the funds to go through the procedure. Alternatives are to use At Home teeth whiteners like Crest White Whitestrips and whitening toothpaste that contain bleaching effects .  My secret, I use baking soda mixed w/ my tooth paste to help whiten my teeth and keep it white. As a model I can not afford to not smile in my photographs.  

I will not be a makeup artist if I do not mention the effects makeup also plays in the enhancement of your smile. Using the right shade of lipstick does wonders in enhancing your smile.  I love wearing red lipstick that has an undertone of orange. I notice it brightens my smile and makes my teeth look whiter. 

Every one stay blessed and happy shopping.
