Talcum Powder is a common addition to most households.
But despite being traditionally used to prevent nappy rash, the powder has a number of other handy uses.
From pest control to cosmetic perks, these are the clever ways to make use of your leftover Talcum Powder.
Thicken Eyelashes
Dust your eyelashes with Talcum Powder before you apply mascara. The powder acts as a primer which gives you fuller, longer-looking lashes.
Also helping to create the illusion of false lashes.

To Freshen Wardrobe
If your wardrobe is smelling a bit musty , Talcum Powder will help to freshen and erase any odors.
Sprinkle a small a
mount of Talcum Powder into a jar or dish and leave it in your wardrobe. The moisture removing properties of the powder will keep it free from that musty smell. You can also use it to freshen up your carpets as well. Sprinkle a light covering on your carpets, let it sit for about 15 minutes and then hoover up – this works wonders for removing tough smells, such as pets or cigarettes.

Instead of Dry Shampoo
Sprinkle some Talcum Powder underneath the top layer of hair at your roots to absorb excess oil.
