Get A Subtle Tan

If you have fair skin, a sun-kissed glow gives a contrast between your skin and teeth, making them look brighter and whiter in no time.

Wear A Blue-Based Lipstick

Red lipsticks with blue undertones instantly make your teeth look whiter. If you're feeling like your teeth could use some bleaching action, stay away from lipsticks that are too orange–they actually make them look yellow.

Give Your Teeth A Quick Rub

With clean fingers, rub a dollop of instant whitening gel on teeth after eating or drinking anything that stains. It brightens teeth on the spot and prevents future staining.

Brush With Baking Soda

Before brushing teeth, use a dry toothbrush and baking soda to polish and remove stains. You'll see results immediately but make sure to do it every day to keep them white.
