You barely have time to enjoy your first sip of coffee when you look in the mirror and you see tragedy: a yellow tongue, like a Stabilo highlighter. Not exactly the kind of look you want to show off during your 10 a.m. meeting. And that’s without mentioning the breath…
Why does your tongue turn yellow after coffee?
Coffee, this precious morning elixir, has a slightly less glamorous side effect: it colors the tongue. How ? By combining with bacteria naturally present in the mouth, food residue or a lack of specific cleaning of the tongue. Result: a persistent yellow tint which sometimes sets in from the first cup.
And contrary to what one might believe, it is not a question of overall hygiene. Even with impeccable brushing, your tongue can remain colored if you don’t clean it properly. This is where the winning duo of tongue scraper + serum comes into play.
The routine that’s making the buzz: scrape, apply, stick
Use a toothbrush to clean your tongue? Forget. It’s not precise enough. For optimal effectiveness, it is best to invest in a tongue scraper, such as the Tongue Scraper Pro used with the Pure Breath – Intense purifying tongue serum from The Smilist.
This serum is applied daily after brushing, on a clean tongue cleaned with the Tongue Scraper Pro. Simply place 3 drops directly on the tongue, then stick the tongue against the roof of your mouth for a few seconds. And above all, don’t rinse: that’s where the magic happens.
Formulated to act as close as possible to the taste buds, this concentrate helps eliminate the impurities responsible for the yellowish color and unpleasant breath. And the result is often seen from the first uses.
What the serum really does to your mouth
In addition to restoring a visibly cleaner tongue, The Smilist serum works on several fronts. It neutralizes the volatile compounds responsible for bad odors, fights against bacterial proliferation and leaves a lasting feeling of freshness.
More discreet than mouthwash, more targeted than chewing gum, it becomes a reflex for those who want to avoid talking with their hand in front of their mouth after their morning espresso.
And the advantage? No side effects to report, no overly aggressive menthol or unpleasant tingling. Just a clear language, without suspicious color, and a newfound confidence.
Who is this gesture aimed at? (Spoiler: to everyone)
Whether you’re addicted to coffee, an occasional smoker or simply concerned about your oral hygiene, this small gesture will make your life easier. It is aimed at all those who want to regain a healthy mouth, without having to multiply products or spend 15 minutes rubbing unnecessarily.
And in a world where everything comes down to appearance and first impressions, having your own language is a detail that makes the difference.
