October 24, 2018
If the headline of this piece caught your attention, it’s probably because you identify with our teeth whitening struggles. As busy (and sometimes, impatient) human beings, we’re not able to put hours into our teeth whitening routine, or even stray away from our day-to-day beauty routine for more than a minute. Knowing this, we’ve rounded up some easy ways to whiten your teeth at home if you’re lazy AF. Ahead, check out easy ways to incorporate teeth whitening into your daily routine — they’re so simple, you’re basically tricking yourself into doing the work.
Check out our six best at-home teeth whitening hacks, ahead.
There are plenty of reasons why lipstick is one of our favorite makeup products of all time, one being that you can use it to make your teeth look whiter. The key is to look for lipsticks with blue or cool undertones as opposed to warm undertones. We recommend Lancôme Color Design Lipstick in Red Haute or Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in Pioneer.
Similar to the way your teeth will look whiter if you use a lipstick with cool or blue undertones, wearing cooler eyeshadows will help to deflect any yellowing in your teeth. For a palette full of cool-toned eyeshadow shades (Reddit voted it the best cool-toned palette out there) like purples, blues and neutrals.
Behold, the simplest teeth-whitening trick for lazy people everywhere: teeth whitening gum. The results might not be as obvious as other options, but combined with others, you’ll be sure to keep your pearly whites looking bright.
Perhaps the easiest way to whiten your smile is to swap out your normal, everyday toothpaste with a formula containing whitening ingredients. One we’re currently loving is Hello Activated Charcoal Fluoride Free Whitening Toothpaste.
Teeth-whitening pens are seemingly available everywhere these days, but you’ll want to get your hands on a quality formula that actually works. Do some research prior to your purchase to check out the reviews, but one we are currently impressed with is the HiSmile Whitening Pen: a portable pen that’ll remove stains from your teeth and make them look whiter in just two minutes.
If you’re on social media, there’s a good chance you’ve come across an influencer who believes in the power of oil-pulling, aka, the practice of swishing an organic, hypoallergenic oil like VMV Organics Know-It-Oil back and forth in your mouth for 15-20 minutes. Do this a few times a week and you’ll notice that your teeth look whiter — in addition to some other benefits, too.
