Apparently rubbing these two ingredients on your teeth will make them whiter in minutes

We're all desperate for a dazzling pearly-white smile, but there's no denying teeth whitening is expensive. 

Well, beauty blogger Farah Dhukai has come up with a DIY concoction that is just as effective for a whiter smile within minutes.

She simply combines one tablespoon of coconut oil with a pinch of turmeric to create a paste, brushes her teeth with the blend, lets it sit on her teeth for five minutes, then rinses it off for an instantly brighter grin...

Don't expect to see a drastic difference the first time you try it though. The idea is to do it a few times a week, and like white strips, it will gradually work over time.

This is because turmeric helps removes plaque (some that's not evident to the naked eye), which causes discoloration.

But as opposed to harsh bleaches, its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties make it super good for your oral health.
