Most household solutions can be found right within your home. Talcum powder is one of those tricks that makes life easier, being a reliable helper around the house.
Besides keeping our skin soft, talcum powder has a few unconventional uses. For example, that knotted necklace that always gives you trouble. Sprinkle a small amount and then gently untangle the knot with a needle.
Need to go out but don't have time to wash your hair? Here's a tip: sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder on your scalp and massage gently. Then shake your head upside down and you're ready to party. Talcum powder will absorb excess sebum that makes hair look greasy.
