2.) Whiten Nails
Mix together 3-4 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide with ½ cup of water, then soak your fingernails in the solution for about 2 to 3 minutes, and gently scrub them with a toothbrush. Rinse your fingernails thoroughly with clean water, then repeat this process once or twice a week for several months, and use it with caution because it can dry out your fingernails.

3.) Eliminate Toenail Fungus

Mix together equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water, then transfer it to a spray bottle, and spray the solution in the affected toes before going to bed leaving it up to overnight for best results. In the morning, wash it with lukewarm water, then scrub your toenails well with a toothbrush, and do this process daily for a month. Hydrogen peroxide will help kill all of the germs and fungus as well as soften your skin with calluses or corns.

4.) Clear Up Acne

Wash your face using a gentle cleanser, then dip a cotton ball in hydrogen peroxide, and dab it in the affected area. Let the solution sit for about 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse with clean water, and apply a light and oil-free moisturizer. Repeat this technique once or twice a day until you got rid of the acne completely. If you have sensitive skin, then this solution is not recommended for you as it may cause increased irritation or burning.

5.) Support Oral Health

Mix equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water, then gargle this solution for a couple of minutes just like you would with your mouthwash, spit it out, and rinse your mouth with clean water. Make sure to not swallow any hydrogen peroxide and use it with caution because it can irritate your mouth and gums. Once you experience any of these symptoms, stop using immediately. This can help cure or lessen the pain of a toothache. You can also soak your toothbrush in hydrogen peroxide overnight to get rid of all the bacteria.
