How to heal toothpaste burn left on skin?

Keep it lubricated: Keep toothpaste of your face and moisturize the area. You can also just keep it covered with a light coating of vaseline and the skin will rejuvenate itself within 2 weeks.

Toothpaste burn: You have learned, unfortunately, that toothpaste is formulated for use in the mouth, not on the skin. Please see a Dermatologist to reduce risk of permanent scarring.
