What are the benefits of toothpaste for the skin?

Toothpaste is a product that we use to clean teeth when we brush our teeth. Usually, few people will apply toothpaste on their faces. In fact, people just know little about the benefits of toothpaste applied on the face. In daily life, toothpaste has unexpected effects when applied on the face. So what are the benefits of toothpaste for the skin? Let’s learn more about it through the following introduction.

The benefits of toothpaste

1. When the skin is broken due to external trauma, you can apply toothpaste on the wound to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding, and then bandage it. As a temporary first aid medicine, medicated toothpaste is very effective.

2. When you are stung by a bee, you can apply toothpaste on the sting to eliminate redness and swelling. This is because bee venom is acidic and toothpaste is weakly alkaline. The neutralization of the acid and alkali will detoxify.

3. When you are bitten by mosquitoes or insects and the itching is unbearable, just apply toothpaste on the bite to relieve the itching.

4. If you have a headache or dizziness during the trip, you can apply toothpaste on your temples, because toothpaste contains menthol and clove oil, which can relieve pain.

5. If your hands and feet are frozen during the trip, and become red, swollen, itchy and painful, as long as the frozen parts are not broken, you can rub the red and swollen area with a cloth dipped in toothpaste. Because toothpaste contains ginger oil and peppermint oil, it can help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

6. When you get prickly heat in hot weather, use a little toothpaste to rub the areas with prickly heat when taking a bath, then wash it off with clean water. Use it several times to relieve itching and eliminate prickly heat. This method is also applicable to people with psoriasis. Wash and dry the affected area with clean water, and apply toothpaste to the affected area, which is very helpful in treating psoriasis.

7. If men forget to bring soap when shaving outdoors, they can also consider using toothpaste. Since toothpaste does not contain free alkali, it is not only non-irritating to the skin, but also has rich foam and a pleasant smell, giving people a cool and refreshing feeling.

8. For women, if you find that you have mild vaginal inflammation when you go out without proper equipment, you can put a small amount of toothpaste in the water, stir it evenly and then wash the affected area, the symptoms will disappear.

9. People with body odor can reduce the odor by rubbing their armpits with toothpaste.

Through the above introduction, we know the benefits of toothpaste to the skin, but it cannot be used as a facial cleansing product under normal circumstances. When the above situation occurs, we can apply toothpaste on the face. Generally, it is mainly used to treat or prevent diseases. Long-term use will also cause damage to the skin.
