Can I sleep with toothpaste on my face?

Published in Skincare 1 min read

You should not sleep with toothpaste on your face. While some people believe that toothpaste can help dry out pimples, it is not a recommended or safe practice.

Toothpaste is designed for your mouth and contains ingredients that can irritate and damage your skin.

Here's why you should avoid putting toothpaste on your face:

  • Skin irritation: Toothpaste can irritate your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin.
  • Damage to the skin barrier: Toothpaste can disrupt the natural protective barrier of your skin, making it more susceptible to infection and damage.
  • No evidence of effectiveness: There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that toothpaste can treat pimples.

If you are looking for ways to treat acne, it's best to consult a dermatologist or use over-the-counter acne treatments specifically designed for skin.
