Sep 26 Beauty Hack: Quick and Easy Teeth Whitening at Home

So I don’t know about you, but September was probably one of my busiest months in a very long time, and I don’t necessarily see October slowing down either! I feel like I have just been going non stop between events, blogging, and of course my full time job. I feel like I have been struggling to take care of myself lately (skipping workouts, canceling facials to get work done). If only a facial could be about 20 minutes long!!!

Anyway, when it comes to beauty I tend to do the quickest, easiest things I can because I just don't have time. When I heard about Smile Brilliant teeth whitening, which is a dentist-grade at-home teeth whitening kit that only takes 45 min-3 hours to use and only 2 weeks to see results, I figured I had to try.

A little backstory quick, I did a ZOOM! professional teeth whitening about a year and a half ago that did work wonders, however I would NEVER in my lifetime do it again. It cost over $500, but regardless of price, it hurt so much I had to stop just a little over halfway through (my lower teeth basically did not get done) because of the pain. I feel like no one tells you how bad the pain is so as not to scare you, but when you’re spending that much you should know. Plus, it took probably a couple hours and we stopped early.

However, with Smile Brilliant, they have a kit that is made for people with sensitive teeth. They encourage prepping with a desensitizing gel so that your teeth are prepped for the treatment with minimum pain. This gave me some ease going in since I knew the product would still be strong.

Luckily, I had NO pain at all after any of the treatments. I kept my sessions short, right around 45 minutes, and I followed with the desensitizing gel for about 15-20 minutes after to prevent any pain. I also probably whitened more like every other day (I was busy) plus it’s another way to prevent pain.

So how do you go about ordering the kit? It was super easy. You fill out a short questionnaire, to determine which kit you need. Then, they mail you a custom tray kit that was super easy to do at home (only took about 10-15 minutes total to make the molds). The molds then harden and you ship them back to Smile Brilliant in a return envelope. They then use your molds to create custom fitted trays for your mouth! So much easier doing all this at home than going to the dentist.

Lastly, after just around 3 weeks of every other day use, the results are phenomenal!! I can’t wait to keep using this to upkeep my pearly whites.

Since I had such a great experience, I am partnering with Smile Brilliant to do a GIVEAWAY for my readers!! All you have to do is sign up via this link and you can get a kit for yourself, valued at $149!!
