Moms love products that do double duty because its one less thing you have to remember to buy when you’re at the store. Its even better when a common, inexpensive household product has TONS of uses, not just one or two. Did you know the toothbrush is one of these items? It’s definitely not just for brushing your teeth! We’ve gathered up a great list of some amazing beauty uses for your common toothbrush to get you feeling beautiful in no time!

1. Nail Art
I absolutely love having polished nails and am always looking for new designs that don’t require too much dexterity or artistic prowess. Turns out, a toothbrush can give you a great and fashionable look! Paint your nails with whatever base color you want and then dip your toothbrush in a small amount of contrasting color. Lightly dab your nails with the toothbrush and you’ll have some instant texture and a great mani.

2. Get Rid of Clumpy Mascara
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how careful you are when applying mascara, it gets goopy. Trying to get it off without messing up the good parts can be tricky, and those teeny tiny mascara combs can be a huge joke! Use a toothbrush to gently grab those globs and get a move on!

3. Clean Jewelry
Us ladies consider our jewelry as a key part of our “beauty” and your toothbrush can help here too. Use a SOFT bristled brush to gently clean between your gemstones and prongs. Be sure it’s not a medium or firm brush because you could end up scratching your metal. You will be shocked how your jewelry can be restored to is former glory with a few minutes of gentle brushing with a toothbrush.
4. Scour Your Underarms
Underarms are areas of our bodies we’d rather not think too much about. They are clammy and let’s be honest, not attractive. But ladies love tank tops! With summers, sweating, shaving and frequent application of deodorant, you can be prone to ingrown hairs and bacteria. Take a toothbrush and some shower gel and use it to brush away dead skin that can cause ingrown hairs. Goodbye painful bumps!

5. Tame FlyAways
I don’t know about you, but I hate “baby hairs.” You know, those new hairs that are growing in and constantly like to stand straight up? They don’t fit in a pony tail and rarely behave. Take a toothbrush, spritz with some hairspray and then gently brush those flyaway into place. You will avoid having a crunchy mane, like you would if you were to liberally spray hair spray across the crown of your head!
6. Exfoliate Lips
Dry and flaky lips can be painful and make your lipstick look cakey. Take a wet toothbrush and gently use a circular motion to massage your lips. You can also add some lip scrub to make the work go even faster!
7. Add Highlights or Do Touchups
As much as women love being pampered by getting their hair done, we don’t always have the time or money to do it as often as we’d like. If you want to give your hair a little sprucing up, you can use a toothbrush to cover up your roots, grays and even add some highlights. A professional can easily use foils and their own brushes to give you added color, but we lay people can get a similar look by using a toothbrush! Follow the directions on your dye box and whip out your toothbrush to give add those highlights!
8. Even Out That Globby Fake Tan
Applying self tanner is not an easy task, and it’s easy to mess up and get splotchy areas. Since it’s not a real tan but a product, you can actually use a toothbrush to scrub away some of the excess tanner. It’s best to mix some lemon juice and baking soda into a paste, dip you toothbrush in and then get to work scrubbing!
