Have you ever tried using toothpaste as your facial wash? Haha, earlier I was so sleepy at work that I went to the restroom and freshen up by washing my face. Still, after a few minutes upon coming back, my eyes started feeling heavy again so I asked my colleagues to help wake me up a little bit.
A friend of mine suggested that I try washing my face with toothpaste. I thought he was kidding at first but he really was not. So what the heck, I tried it. I washed my face and rubbed a generous amount of toothpaste onto my face. It felt a little cold, but then I let it stay for about two minutes. When I washed my face, my throat nearly closed because of the cold feeling on my face. It felt like soaking my face in icy water! Yeah that woke me up for sure.
Anyhow, my friend told me that she uses toothpaste as an acne face wash. She said that the toothpaste is strong enough to remove the oil on the face which is one of the causes of acne. She did made a point, however I guess this is not yet proven by dermatologists so I suggest consulting the experts first before believing.
