Will toothpaste really get rid of pimples?!


Question: Will toothpaste really get rid of pimples?
I rarely get pimples, but I have a huge one that is making me really self conscious and I have a big day tomorrow. I heard that toothpaste will help if I put it on overnight? How does this work? I have pretty sensitive skin though. I usually just get some blackheads, I've tried to use face wash things but they just make me break out and when I stop using them, they go away in a day or so. Is my skin too sensitive to use toothpaste? Is there anything else I can do? Thank you

Answers:

use any white toothpaste (blue will turn your face blue) but I prefer to use crest original. It will dry out the area and bring the pimple to the surface so it will heal faster.
For black heads try biore pore strips. This is what I use and I have sensitive skin. I also can not use most face washes. I am able to use noxema though.



Please please please do NOT use toothpaste! The only thing this will do is clog your pores and cause more acne. Try using willow-bark extract or lemon oil, which are both found in Burt's Bees herbal blemish stick, for spot clearing. With your sensitive skin, look for products that are water based; oil based acne products are more likely to cause irritation. Natural ingredients and natural facial masks are good. Never scrub your face, pad it with a washcloth. Finally, avoid products that peel off or dry on your skin.

Overall, use water based foams with natural ingredients. Good luck and Blessed Be!



I have tried this on several occasions and all it did was burn the hell outta my skin and make it even more red. It supposedly dries the pimple up, but nothing is going to make it disappear over night. Use a little concealer and try and not stress it. Everyone gets them every now and again. I even went so far as to cut myself bangs to hide a huge one when I was younger. Slap ridiculous..a pimple will only last a few days, jacked up bangs last for months



Never heard toothpast have any help. Try not to apply any cosmetic product if your skin is sensitive. Just wash it by cleanser and apply moisture cream every day, if you are oily skin, use cream with oil-free.
Besides, your skin is some pimples, try to eat more fruit and vegetables, yohurt helps skin also. Drink more water.
Don't stay up late, less sleep will make skin less pretty.



No, use medicated soap to wash you face with twice a day. Put toner on after washing and exfoliate once a week.
