LISTERINE 21 DAY CHALLENGE: FINAL THOUGHTS

I am happy while thinking about writing this because I have accomplished a challenge. It feels good when you challenge yourself and you did it successfully right? I feel when everytime I achieved something whether it is small or big. My first challenge here on the blog is taking the Listerine 21 Day Challenge.

 Why a mouthwash you ask? Well, have you ever heard someone saying "Ang ganda nga, ang baho naman ng hininga." It's harsh but it is true. Sometimes girls focus on how they look they forgot how they smell. No matter how much make up you put on just to look good but you smell like you just woke up it will look bad no matter what.

We all experience having a bad breath from time to time specially when it is midday. We eat, drink, talk and repeat the entire day. Sometimes we forgot to brush our teeth during the break or if we don't have any, we chew gum, eat a candy or use a mouthwash.

I prefer using mouthwash than chewing gum, it feels fresher and my mouth feels cleaner even without brushing my teeth. I always have a mouthwash on my bag just in case that is why when I see the bundle of Listerine at the supermarket, I just grabbed it. Are you ready for a fresher breath and more?

This is my first time to use Listerine for a month straight! It is not just 21 days you know since I use this until now. I use Listerine before for at least twice a week or whenever I feel like I should use it because it stings inside my mouth sometimes I got teary-eyed because of using this. But no pain, no gain is my motto in life so even if it stings, I endure the pain if it will give me good benefits in the end.

On my first day of use, I experienced a stinging and burning sensation I didn't even gargled it I just put it inside my mouth and spit it immediately. Ohhh who am I kidding! If I let this happen again, I am only fooling with myself and so are you, my dear readers. On my second attempt that evening, I make tiis of the sting and wait for a minute before I spit it out. And you know what? It is not that bad after all! Perhaps I haven't use Listerine for a long time that is why my mouth reacted like that. That evening, my breath is fresher and last longer because when I woke up, I tried to smell my own breath (eww, gross!) and surprised it doesn't smell so bad!

Using this for one week, aside from my breath is fresher, it smells fresh longer too! Normally after brushing my teeth before I go to school, I will smell not that fresh around afternoon. My mouth felt cleaner too, you know that squeaky feeling after you brush your teeth? Yep, that's it. On my second week, the burning and stinging sensation is lesser, it is tolerable at this moment. I observed that my gums are healthier and I spit some yellowish phlegm and I am surprised and feel gross at the same time but that is a good thing right? I feel like it is cleaning my whole mouth gradually. My third week of using Listerine is the coolest part!

I don't know how it happened but my teeth appears to be whiter! It is not a sparkling, pearly white kind of white but I can see the difference it is not very yellowish anymore. I am drinking tea and coffee almost everyday from the past few months which caused my yellowish teeth and Listerine help me to whiten it again! Cool right?

After a month long of journey with Listerine, I could say that the stinging and burning sensation is all worth it. Let me repeat, it is worth it. My mouth is cleaner, fresher and it have removed some phlegm in my throat, give me healthier gums and stronger teeth more than that, it help me remove stains on my teeth which is hard to be remove. Only a visit to a dentist to have a proper cleaning can remove the stains from drinking tea and coffee and Listerine did that and more. I feel like my mouth have undergone into a vacuum cleaning for a month. It feels like a whole new mouth to me, and until now, I am using it and I don't experience having a bad breath anymore just a clean and fresh mouth. I feel more confident now to talk to people without worrying if I don't smell fresh.

If you want to save money and have fresher  and cleaner mouth for a longer period of time, I am challenging you to try Listerine 21 Day Challenge now. See and feel the difference!
