Ever used toothpaste to wash your face before? Well, i use it and well.. it's quite nice.. my face doesnt seem that oily anymore (my skin is the oily type).. In fact, it's seems better now.. How did i know of this 'weird' method? A friend of mine told me once that his neighbour used to have pimply face, then he started using toothpaste to wash his face, and now his face is now cleared up.
Anyway, i'm not sure about u people but for me, it's quite good. I wash using toothpaste once per day. (same method as using a normal cleanser, put some on the palm and spread it evenly, before rubbing on ur face.)
My face is oily and sensitive. But after using the toothpaste, it's not so oily. and not that sensitive anymore. Washing with toothpaste gives u a very very cooling sensation.. Maybe that's the reason why pimples can disappear.. Well, u can try it and see if it works..
p/s: i'm not responsible if anything undesirable happens..lol...but i can swear that i like using it. It gives a much cleaner feel and it cools up the skin... erm...give it a go if u'd like to..
hmmm well I have used cucumber and teabags to reduce wrinkles and bags around the eyes.
Toothpaste is apparently also good for recovering scratched cds http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/77
The wonderful things of everyday household products Looks like toothpaste can sure do some amazing stuff. I dont fancy washing with it though, doesn't it hurt your eyes? I also don't like the idea of smelling strongly of mint all day, lol. But maybe ill try it sometime...hmm...you never know until you try it out i guess.
try getting facepaste, it's called toothpaste for a reason
Ya I use toothpaste because and it worked before but I never used it for a long time. But now I use proactive and it works, If anyhting else doesn't work jus use proactive I really didint think it worked becaues all of those commercials and most of them lie.
Haven't tried toothpaste though I do use proactive and it does work pretty well. it is pretty cool actually - i was also surprised by the results
After I do that, I'm going to go and use clearasil to brush my teeth!
No.
you can use toothpaste? isn't it a bit, too cold on the face?
But i think I'll try to try it. 
Toothpaste is also good for a soar throats, just put it on your tongue and keep it there for a few minutes. I've tried, seemed to work fine.
never tried it before, but that may change...
I knew that it could work as an antipimple product though
Hey, that a nice idea 
I'll actually try it.
Thanks for the tip 
I wash the mirror at the bathroom with my shaving gel
- Also a tip I read from a thread on these FriHost 
Tried it before and I am not going to school with a sticky, mint smelling crap on my face...My girlfriend will think im retarded. My pillow doesnt need to be all sticky and uncomfortable etc etc Its a mess... But try it if you so desire, you cant say I didnt
This is crazy timing for this post, I started using it two weeks ago, I think it works too! I don't use it all over my face (I heard that could be too harsh, maybe it depends on the toothpaste?) but it works wonders for the occasional breakout 
Oh I just thought I'd add a tip, facial scrubs after get rid of all the mint smell etc I have used it before, I dont remember where i found it if it would work or not... etc.
but it worked for me
Wierd!!! I had never heard of this berfore.
...Maybe ill try it, looks...interesting 
lmao! that reminds me, one time my cousin mixed up toothpaste with shaving cream
You can use a small amount of Coca-Cola as a form of gel for your hair.
I've used it to 'dry up' zits, but there are far better things out there which don't smell so minty .
The best thing I've ever tried is PanOxyl cream (the active ingredient being benzoyl peroxide)- ask for it at the counter in any drugstore. It's also quite cheap compared with many spot treatments and works pretty darn well.
It does tend to bleach clothing/bed linen, though, so watch out. Also, some people are sensitive to it and end up with their skin flaking off.
But yes - miracle product. doesnt it make your face sticky and i wudnt like a minty smell all day.
sounds good but ill stick with my facewash and leave teh toothpaste for my teeth lol.
never tried and no hope ...
ive herd about people with bad achne and spots etc and its really helped!
im lucky i only get the odd sopt here and there nothing major!
what kind of toothepaste did you use? 
it's kinda weird what a toothpaste can do. i use it as first aid for small burns, you use it as face cleanser. maybe it's cooling effect does the trick, i don't know but as long as it works and doesn't do any harm then why not try it. Maybe you can name it as not so allaroundpaste. Maybe it works to scrub floors as well. Give me a break, toothpaste is for use on teeth. Especially al those whitening toothpastes and toothpastes with the 'magic' ingredients can't possibly be good for your skin.
I don't think I'll try it, there's a reason why it's called toothpaste. I don't know the exact ingrediants in it, but I can't imagine it can be very good for you.
I don't think it will really harm your face, but I have a few objections concerning your so called 'facecleaner': isn't it a waste of toothpaste to butter your face with it? Isn't it sticky? Don't you have a toothpastesmell on your face afterwards? I guess there are better means to take care of your face.
And I also wouldn't put toothpaste on my tongue for a few minutes in order to 'heal' a soar throat. There are also better means for that. So that's what happened to Michael Jackson...
If you try this, don't use whitening toothpaste.
I don't know..toothpaste...face wash...just seems a little bizzare to me
I think the half of you who deny the plausability of toothpaste as an effective facial cleanser should actually try it, or show evidence of your medical degree before slamming this member's idea in the dirt. I'm willing to state that you don't know $hit. 
If you compare toothpaste with anti pimple cream why there would be so much competitions to make a best anti pimples cream. Seems like toothpaste is cheaper than any anti-pimple cream. Why would facial creams be ever made. Everyone would have used Toothpaste lol
wash your face with hemmoroid cream....it'll shirink your attitude. But i seiously doubt it.
And don't say I don't know shi# YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
Actually I get random pimples every now and then, and I have used toothpaste before. My mom recommended it and it works. I've never heard of this before, but it sounds like a scam to me, i dont see how toothpaste will help clean your face, it's texture just doesn't seem right to do that
Tried it... skin feels better, but I would probably get a non-whitening toothpaste if I were to use it regularly.
Anyone know if cleaning scratches from CD's/DVD's with toothpaste actually work?

I would think it would be to abrasive.I might try that. How long do you put it on for? I have acne BAD and I want to get rid of it. Coudl you give the details? Like toothpaste on for 15 minutes, 3 times a day or something like that. Thanks
I had to use it once I were in Boys scouts and we went on a field trip
In the night the kids would wake up and squeeze the toothpaste all over the faces of people who are fast asleep.........
I had one such experience and had to use it as a Facial cleanser....

Yeah mate you took the words out of my mind! Imagine talking to somebody and smelling nothing but peppermint or worse, cinnamon!! But this post is getting mighty weird, interesting and funny at the same time! So I guess we should toast. Here's to toothpaste, the most versatile of all household items! | Vrythramax wrote: |

I tried it out a year ago..
It did not work at all
I used 3 to 4 layers of paste.. on a CD and all i got was a refreshing smell from it
Nothing more.
the cd wasnt a waste thoughI've heard of applying toothpaste on pimples and leaving them on overnight to dry them out, but not for cleansing. I wouldn't be suprised though, alot of the newer toothpaste come with an antibacterial agent which could kill the bacteria that may cause pimples.
Yeah, tha'ts a traditional "old wives tale" sort of remedy. I remember reading it in some books for teenage girls from the 40's and 50's that I found while I was working at a library. I would recommend staying away from the high tech bleaching stuff, and I suspect that a quality cream for the purpose might work better, but as a spot treatment for blemishes, it has a long history of working well in a pinch. *shrugs* Hair spray is a good ink remover too. There are loads of these unexpected little tips.
Indeed. I have heard that toothpaste is good for cleaning yourself with. Although, it does dry you skin out. Which as you said, stops it from been as oily. And i must admit, if it's minty fresh. Well, you smell good
You may see sometimes, that if you do research, that it's better to use your everyday products to do certain things rather than spending money here there and everywhere just to get a certain job done. It's not all that half bad. Thats wierd but cool! I have lots of pimples on my face. Maybe i could use tooth paste lol!
Thank you,
