Got mosquito bites ruining your camping trip? Grab your toothpaste (plain white, no gel!) and mix a pea-sized blob with aloe vera gel. The minty menthol soothes itching instantly, while the mild abrasives gently exfoliate. But wait—this odd couple also cleans grimy faucets! Rub the paste on chrome fixtures, let it sit 2 minutes, then wipe for a disco-ball shine.
Bonus hack: Dab a speck on your glasses' lenses and buff with a microfiber cloth to fight fog during mask season.
Avoid whitening toothpaste—it's too harsh for skin. Test a dime-sized patch first if you're sensitive.
Pro tip: Use unscented lotion for eyewear cleaning. Just don't drink coffee post-application—minty faucets are cool, minty mugs are not!
