Have you ever thought about how toothpaste affects the skin on your face? Every morning and evening, it comes into contact with the delicate skin around your lips. And believe me, this is not entirely safe.

The main components that can negatively impact your skin include fluoride, flavorings, whitening agents, and abrasive particles.

To protect your skin, brush your teeth before washing your face. Toothpaste ingredients like fluoride, flavorings, whitening agents, and abrasives can irritate the skin around your mouth. Rinse thoroughly after brushing, use a gentle facial cleanser, and consider switching to a mild toothpaste if irritation persists.

▪️ Fluoride: Prolonged exposure can cause irritation, redness, and even dermatitis.

▪️ Flavorings and preservatives: These can trigger allergic reactions and skin irritation, such as redness, rashes, and dryness, especially in people prone to allergies.

▪️ Whitening agents: Toothpastes with whitening ingredients (like hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, etc.) can also dry out and irritate the skin.

▪️ Abrasive particles: These can damage the skin's top layer, leading to microcracks, redness, and inflammation.

To avoid these issues, follow these simple tips:

✔️ Rinse off the toothpaste thoroughly after brushing to prevent prolonged skin contact.

✔️ Use gentle facial cleansers such as the Hyaluronic Regeneration Detox Foam to remove any toothpaste residue.

✔️ If the skin around your mouth is still irritated despite these measures, try switching to a toothpaste without aggressive ingredients.

Now you know why you should brush your teeth first, then wash your face, and finally apply cream to your face
