Hands can become dry, rough, and uneven in tone because of sun exposure, frequent washing, cold weather, and normal skin aging. A simple homemade treatment can help improve the feel and temporary appearance of dry skin, but toothpaste and salt should not be used as a wrinkle or dark-spot treatment. Toothpaste is formulated for teeth, not facial or hand skin, and its ingredients can cause irritation, dryness, or burning.
Instead, try this gentler homemade hand treatment.
