Every time I brush my teeth, I end up with toothpaste stuck in my mustache. It’s a hassle to remove and sometimes leaves my hair feeling stiff. What’s your go-to fix for this?
To tackle toothpaste residue in your mustache, start by switching to a gel-based toothpaste, which tends to be less sticky and easier to rinse out. After brushing, rinse thoroughly with warm water, then use a small amount of beard shampoo to break down any remaining residue. For long-term value, consider investing in a water softener if hard water is a recurring issue, as it can contribute to buildup. Avoid over-washing, which can dry out your mustache.
Switching to a gel-based toothpaste is a solid start, but if you’re on a budget, plain warm water rinses can be surprisingly effective when done thoroughly. For a cost-saving alternative to beard shampoo, a diluted castile soap works well to break down residue without drying out your mustache. If hard water is a concern, a simple vinegar rinse (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) can help dissolve mineral buildup without breaking the bank.
