How to Apply:

7. Eliminate Musty Odors in Your Wardrobe
When you open your wardrobe, you might be greeted by an unpleasant musty smell. But don’t worry, there’s a simple, natural solution – baby powder. For years, people have relied on baby powder to neutralize musty odors and moisture in wardrobes effectively and safely.
Steps:
- Start by thoroughly cleaning and drying your wardrobe, ensuring there is no lingering moisture or unpleasant smells.
- Take a small amount of baby powder and place it in fabric bags or small containers. The number of bags or containers depends on the size of your wardrobe and how much moisture is present. The goal is to provide a space where the powder can absorb moisture and bacteria-causing odors.
- Place the bags or containers of baby powder in your wardrobe, particularly in corners or areas that are more prone to moisture.
- Regularly check and replace the baby powder as needed, depending on the humidity levels in your wardrobe. When the powder has absorbed enough moisture and begins to feel damp, replace it with fresh powder.

8. Thicken Your Eyelashes
Baby powder can be used to enhance the thickness of your eyelashes, especially when you want to create fuller, smoother lashes without the need for chemical mascara or if you're looking for a natural lash look.

- Use a mascara wand or an eyelash powder brush.
- Dip the brush into the baby powder and gently comb it through your lashes. Make sure the powder is evenly distributed and does not clump.
- If you'd like even thicker lashes, you can repeat this step to apply a second layer of powder. Just be gentle and gradual to avoid the lashes becoming stiff or clumpy.
Baby powder creates a smooth coating that adds volume to your lashes, making them appear fuller and more natural. One advantage of using baby powder is that it’s free from chemicals and won’t irritate your eyes the way mascara can.
