My sister has been considering toothpaste to lighten her skin a shade or two. If it whitens your teeth could it do the same for your skin?

Is this safe? I would think it burns like hell. Has anybody tried or heard of this?:confused:

I think it does lighten you a LITTLE.. I sometimes use plain white toothpaste on my face to dry out acne and clear my face and it makes my face glow. Make sure it's plain white toothpast though and not any other colors...

Tooothpaste?!

Hahahahahaha!!

Very stupid. Don't do it

Lol don't make fun of it...

But you shouldn't use it for lightening anyway

Lol

:p

If you are serious about whitening your skin, I don't think toothpaste will actually be of any help. You should try some international products which have been proven to be effective. Came across a great article on <a href="http://www.suite101.com/content/lighten-your-skin-with-the-best-skin-whitening-products-a286837">skin whitening products</a> . Talked about products I hadn't heard of - Like Fair & White creams. Is it actually effective.
