30+ beauty tricks with toothpaste you’ve never seen before

Toothpaste, a common household item primarily used for oral hygiene, has quietly become a versatile beauty tool. From skin blemishes to nail care and more, toothpaste boasts an array of surprising beauty tricks that can help you achieve a fresh and radiant look.

Toothpaste can help remove stains and discoloration on your nails, leaving them looking whiter and cleaner.

Some toothpaste contains fluoride, which can strengthen the nails and make them less prone to breakage.

Fungal Infection Prevention

The antibacterial properties of certain toothpaste can help prevent or address minor fungal nail infections.

Gently wash the area around the pimple and pat it dry. Dab a small amount of toothpaste directly onto the pimple and leave it overnight.

In some cases, you can rub a small amount of toothpaste to clean the lens of your glasses.

Armpit stains no more

To remove armpit stains on clothing, you can create a paste by mixing equal parts of white toothpaste (non-gel, non-whitening) and baking soda. Apply this paste to the stained area, gently scrub, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse.

To remove burnt bits from a frying pan, apply plain white toothpaste to the affected areas, scrub gently with a soft cloth or sponge, rinse, and repeat if necessary. You can also use a baking soda paste for stubborn burnt bits.

Replace the lost cap

If the cover cap is missing, you can use a glue gun to carefully trace along the opening’s contours, extending it to the edge, and then gently snap it off. This way, you’ll create a makeshift replacement cap.
