Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is toothpaste really safe to use on feet?
A: Yes—most plain white toothpastes are safe for external use in small amounts. However, avoid those with strong whitening agents or microbeads, which can irritate the skin.
Q: How often should I do this treatment?
A: 2–3 times per week is ideal. Overuse may lead to dryness due to the toothpaste's astringent properties.
Q: Can this help with athlete’s foot or foot odor?
A: While it may help reduce odor and offer a slight antibacterial effect, it’s not a substitute for medical treatment. For fungal infections like athlete’s foot, consult a healthcare provider.

A: This recipe is designed for tougher skin like feet. Avoid using on sensitive areas like the face or broken skin.
