What are the advantages and disadvantages of washing your face with toothpaste?

The most common use of toothpaste in our lives is brushing teeth. In addition to brushing teeth, you can also use toothpaste to clean glass or porcelain cups and bowls, remove tea stains, and clean sterling silver jewelry, etc. These uses of toothpaste will give you unexpected results. Some friends often use toothpaste to wash their faces. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of washing your face with toothpaste? Let’s take a look together!

(1) Advantages:

Toothpaste has a certain cleaning effect. You will feel refreshed after washing. It also contains some anti-inflammatory substances and some vitamin C, which will have a certain whitening effect and is also good for removing acne. However, if you have allergic skin, it is best not to use it. It is somewhat irritating and not very good for the skin. So it’s okay to use it occasionally, but don’t use it often.

(2) Disadvantages:

Toothpaste is very irritating and has a strong alkaline property, which will dry out the skin and cause skin allergies if the skin is sensitive. Washing your face with toothpaste will cause acne to grow. In order to achieve a whitening effect, today's toothpaste generally contains fluoride and other abrasives, which are very bad for the skin and make the skin look dark and yellow, so it is not recommended to use it frequently.
