This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the LISTERINE® brand. All opinions are 100% mine.
Today we are talking about two things: A healthy mouth and a healthy giveaway (stay tuned at the end for instructions)!
You already know that I am hooked on all sorts of routines, whether they are for cleaning the home, organizing schedules, or even simple nighttime routines which of course include brushing your teeth. Well, I hope it includes brushing your teeth…
So we have brushed our teeth and flossed. What’s the point of using a mouthwash, if you already feel like your teeth are clean? Simple brushing of the teeth does not reach the entire mouth. Rinsing with LISTERINE® Antiseptic will help reduce plaque and gingivitis more than brushing and flossing alone, and that’s a pretty good reason, I think.
I like to keep my nighttime routine really simple because by the time that I put the boys to bed and pick up around the house, I am exhausted. I don’t want another to-do list in front of the sink. I simply wash my face, brush my teeth, floss, rinse with LISTERINE® mouthwash and put on some moisturizer, and call it a day – I mean, night.
Tip: If you keep your mouthwash handy, you will be more likely to use it.
LISTERINE® Healthy Mouth:
So what are “The Essentials” that work together to pack this powerful punch to kill these hard to reach germs? Glad you asked:
It’s the four essential oils that originally came from plant sources that have protected your mouth for more than 100 years.
– Eucalyptol – Derived from trees usually found in Australia, this essential oil acts as both an antibacterial and anti-fungal agent.
– Menthol – Identical to menthol found in natural corn mint, this essential oil is known for its germ killing properties.
– Thymol – Identical to the thymol in natural thyme and ajowan herb, research continues to demonstrate this essential oil’s effectiveness against bacteria
– Methyl Salicylate – Identical to the methyl salicylate in natural wintergreen, this essential oil is also often found in chewing gum due to its fresh flavoring properties.
This combination formula kills millions of germs on contact, helping keep your mouth healthy. For more information on LISTERINE® mouthwash, its unique essential oil-based formula, and how you can improve your oral health, visit www.listerine.com/products-essential-oils.
