Awesome reader Lois wrote in to provide us with this week’s beauty tip … and it includes strawberries! She writes how strawberries are a great way to naturally whiten your teeth.
I’m sure you’ve heard this before, as I think this is one of the more popular natural beauty tips that actually work! For some reason I have Catherine Zeta jones in my mind; I think I read that she does this in a magazine?!
So what do you do? Take a strawberry, and rub it gently on your teeth. Alternatively, you can use mashed strawberries instead and put it on your toothbrush and start ‘brushing’ your teeth with it. However, and this is important: do not brush your teeth (with your toothpaste) right after doing this strawberry method. The acid in the strawberry can soften the enamel on your teeth, so if you brush right after, you could be spoiling your teeth! Wait at least 30 minutes to brush your teeth.
Voila! Pearly whites.
What do you think? Have you heard of this popular tip, and have you tried it yourself? And thanks to Lois for this week’s tip! If you have any other beauty tips to add for future posts, just email me.

Hey Lois! Thanks again for this awesome tip! I love your email too, thanks for writing

Hi Renee! Strawberries are my favorite fruits. During the summer I eat lots of kilograms of strawberries but I didn’t see any change. Although I never smoked and I don’t even drink coffee my teeth tend to be a lil yellow. So if it was true that strawberries should whitened your teeth I would be the first one to notice. Anyway they are tasty
I love strawberries. Thanks for the tip, I might give it a try
Like the others wrote above, I love strawberries and might eat them instead!
Hehe alright I’ll give you guys all my strawberries after I’m done with them, LOL! I don’t really like them, they are too sweet for me!
(This coming from someone who eats candy like nobody’s business…hm…!) 
Every single tip you give is useful and easy to do.
I adore you. *squeeze and kiss for renee*.
Aw Rosa you are the sweetest. *bear hugs and kisses and for Rosa*
I am glad you find them useful and I ADORE you too! I’m so glad we met, although I’m still waiting for you to invite me to your beautiful country! Hehe…hint hint hintidy-hint. 
What a coincidence, I have a bowl of strawberries in front of me right now! Great tip, Renee
Aw! Haha… save the last one and start scrubbing your teeth! Hahaha
love to try this! at least it’s not as icky as baking soda!
thanks!
I’m very intrigued. Will have to give this a try. I recall Catherine Zeta-Jones saying she liked to eat an apple after each meal, because it cleaned her teeth or something. Need to start doing that too.
Anyone tried with results yet? Please share.
Aside to Renee,
I have email you twice I guess but haven got your reply. Let me know ok? Thanks.
