The main function of toothpaste is to clean teeth. Using toothpaste to wash the face may cause redness on the skin. Toothpaste contains many relatively large particles designed to scrub teeth; if these particles are used for facial cleansing, they can roughen the skin and even clog facial pores. It is recommended to use facial cleansers or similar skincare products for proper facial cleaning.
