Everyone would love a whiter smile, right? For today’s Beauty Tip of the Day, it’s something quick and easy that you can do to make sure you maintain your pearly whites.

While the ideal would be that you’re able to brush after every meal or drink…it’s not the most convenient thing for all of us to bring the supplies or have the quick moment to pop into the restroom. To at least help your teeth a bit after all the coffee or glasses of wine (if you’re legal) in your life, make it a habit to at least rinse your mouth with water after every meal.

Many of the foods and beverages that you consume contain acids that wear away your tooth enamel over time, which can lead to excessive staining. A quick swish of water will help to whisk away the residue (until you can brush later) and help preserve your smile.
