acne + toothpaste = smaller pimples

[sing-a-song]

Okay!.. this is for people who have a severe case of acne ...anyway, well this was told to me by my aunty's sister which i am not 100% sure if it works but accoring to my cousin it worked for her so i'll tell all you guys if you are intrested
WARNING: if you have dry skin its better you don't try this out! and if you don't have acne DO NOT TRY!
TOOTHPASTE!!!.. this is what you do!
step1. wash face with regular face wash
step2. too pat face dry, now apply toothpaste onto face avoiding under the eye. leave on for a few minutes or if you are desperate to get rid of one BIG HUGE UGLY RED GAHHH .. you know what i mean...^^.. just dab that one pimple and sleep with the toothpase on your face! and wash it off in the morning!

also remember while useing toothpaste keep in mind that it is an antibacterial cleaner for your mouth so it is advised not to do this procedure on a regular basis but on that one off chance when in desperation to get rid of that discusting pimple that pops up on your wedding day (like my aunty's sister)

sorry for all the typos and the 1/2 finsished sentenses and miss spelt words i am in a rush and haha i'm just randomly on this site again!
ok ok i keep writing a sentence but not finishing it properly .. gah i can't be bothered..
ALSO because i am so ignorant when it comes to skin care (because i am fortunate enough to be born with nice skin hehe) please tell me if this is a good or bad suggestion etc etc.. or just any commemts that you'ld like to add..

Yeah, toothpaste is great for spots. I use it overnight most nights-- it speeds up getting rid of horrible pimples! Bit embarrasing when the rest of your family see you with big white dots all over you face though...

This trick is effective, but it is not advisable to apply toothpaste on your face. It contains some chemicals that could harm the skin. Someone told me that. But I guess it's okay as long as you're careful...

yeah, I never put it all over my face, just on single spots.

You can also "spot" treat with neosporin, zinc (diaper creme) and hydrocortisone creme. Dont put on entire face but just on the "spots" and it speeds healing and reduces redness.

Never heard of that before, thanks Apple. Welcome to the forums, by the way

Thank you, Rose. I was browsing the site when I saw "forums" and being the forum junkie that I am, I had to stop in

yeah thats really intresting apple, where did you hear that from? just out of curiosity^^

Different people, one of them being a licensed Estheticians (Skin Care Specialist). She reccomended the hydrocortisone creme and I know of many people who have used zinc and neosporin creme on blemishes too. When I get a nice big red pimple I zap it with neosporin or I use zinc.
