Washing my face in the toothpaste sink ☹️

[Magnus18]

We’re getting a new bathroom put in and I desperately wanted ‘Jack and Jill’ sinks but they didn’t fit.

I would love to get into an evening routine of using lovely facial cleansing products but how does it work if you’ve only got one sink?

I'm here for the deletion message <ahem> the same reason.

Got any freshly scrubbed popcorn?

But… toothpaste spit…. 🤢

@Magnus18 have a look on etsy. You'll find a basin sans plughole easily.
You could buy a couple of posh French linen towels for patting your skin dry and have a whole spa set up going.

If your husband/partner is willing, he /she might even agree to stand buy in a loincloth holding said basin for you whole you conduct your nightly ritual*.

*gently warmed ass' milk recommended

Wtf... This is a joke surely?
Im laughing at least.

Top tip.

Spit your toothpaste in the shitter.
That's what the povos do when they've just got a bucket and sponge on a stick.

@Magnus18 Toothpaste spit is sterile thanks to the contents of the toothpaste.

For FUCK'S SAKE....

But you rinse toothpaste spit off after spitting it, straight away, so it doesn’t stick. Sluice the sink round after brushing your teeth. Leaving globs of toothpaste in the sink isn’t allowed- and I’m proper slovenly usually!

also, any washing face routines are done with tap running and a flannel, not full face submerging.

I’m going through IVF, one of my parents has cancer and I’m bloody petrified about the energy crisis. Does that tick the boxes for you? This is the Style and Beauty forum; the clue’s in the name.

You really shouldn't if you're worrying about the toothpaste in an ordinary one. They look like an absolute bugger to clean round underneath.

The flannel is a good call actually, thank you.

Yeah give the OP a break! She only asked. And, she has given me a great (and good humoured) laugh.

I’ll ask DH if he’s up for this but I fear it may be a no!

@Iamthewombat until you said titanium and were obviously joking I was imagining one of those green plastic daisy water fountains for cats!

Don't you rinse the sink after spitting toothpaste into it?

If you're going to worry about the cleanliness of the sink I would have thought germ residue after people washing their hands in it after going to the toilet would be a much worse thought than toothpaste...

Me too! They are so beautiful 😍

Do you also use the sponge scourer for facials, @watcherintherye?

Oo la la.
Quelle horreur

It’s funny but hand washing doesn’t seem to bother me as much! It’s just the thought of… well, washing my face in a bowl that people spit in!

Just buy a pretty ceramic bowl if you're that worried about it.

😁 yes the replies have cheered me up too and now I’m Googling luxurious facecloths.

I wonder if I could persuade DH into letting me install a nightstand in the bedroom… the Victorians had the best ideas!

Yes! It takes 30 seconds!

Though my sink takes so long to fill that I just use water for face washing straight from the tap.

"Toothpaste is sterile" 🙄 and Trump is father Christmas!

I take off my make up every night with a gentle foaming cleanser and clean white flannel. I just wet the flannel under the warm tap, no need to fill the sink. Then on goes serum and moisturiser.

It all feels very posh cleansing ritual but now I've thought of a man standing by in a loincloth I made need to get back on the dating apps..!

Why is that weird? Saves getting the Flash spray out all the time and means nobody leaves toothpaste in the basin for the next person who has to use it. What do you do to keep your sink hygienic and scum free between cleans?

You wash your face in the shower? The same shower you wash your armpits and your backside and all the rest in? 😮

In my house we have one bathroom sink to share between 4 face washers / toothbrushers!

I might get one. For me, not a cat.
