Are you a soda/coffee/tea drinker who's looking for a quick and easy way to brighten up those used-to-be pearly whites? Look no further—we have a do-it-yourself recipe that can help!

The magical ingredient in this DIY beauty blend is strawberry. Strawberries contain malic acid, which helps remove tooth discoloration. Mix a mashed berry with a little baking soda and―Bam!—you've got yourself a natural tooth whitener!

This concoction is cruelty-free, cheap, and super-easy to whip up. Try it, and let us know how it worked for you!

Sunny's DIY Tooth Whitener
1 ripe strawberry
1/2 tsp. baking soda

In a cup or glass, mash the strawberry and add the baking soda. Mix.
Apply the mixture to your teeth with a toothbrush. Leave on for about 5 minutes.
Brush your teeth with your favorite cruelty-free toothpaste and rinse.

Voilà! Enjoy your newly white teeth. Now that's something worth smiling about!

You can also rub a banana peel across your front teeth. It's supposed to whiten them.
