Getting Rid of Dandruff with Listerine and Other Health-Related Uses for Common Products

Why go to the store and shell out hefty sums of what little gas money you've got left buying health care products when you can use things you've probably already got on your pantry or refrigerator shelves.

For instance, beach weather invariably means sunburn weather right? What should you do when you get a sunburn? Run down to the nearest Walgreens? Heck now. At least, not if you've already got a container of yogurt. Did you know that if you spread some yogurt on a sunburn and let it dry for twenty minutes it will soothe the pain as quickly as any over the counter medication? Well, that's just great for some people, but what if you're like me and you just can't eat yogurt so you don't have any in the house? Well, if you don't have a box of baking soda in your refrigerator, you should. Now's the time to take it out and empty half a cup into lukewarm bath water. Once it's dissolved, climb in and your sunburn pain should be soothed in just fifteen minutes. If the sunburn isn't too bad, or if you just don't want all that yucky feeling all over you, take out a teabag, get it wet, and pat the affected area.

You say you've got dandruff? Have you ever washed your hair in Listerine? Sounds disgusting, sure, but it's less embarrassing that having your collar look like Mt. Fuji. However, if smelling like mouthwash is just too made to trade off for getting rid of the dandruff, why not go the lemon juice route? As little as one tablespoon (that's the big one) applied to your hair before shampooing, then rinsing with another two tablespoons mixed with the water should leave you flake-free after about a week of every other day use.
