Toothpaste and zits?

Question

Has anyone ever heard of putting toothpaste on a zip to get rid of it? Does it work? Any other weird remedies for getting rid of zits?

Answer 1

yea ive done it before it worked on me for like a week then stopped working

i have found that the bare minerals collection of makeup and face wash has REALLY cleared my face up

and i used to have pretty bad skin.

Answer 2

it works because it dries it out i did it  

Answer 3

It might dry out a tiny zit, if it's the paste kind and not the gel. A friend of mine swears that vinegar keeps her skin dried out and acne free. I know someone who's mother scrubbed their face with salt and applied an egg mask to it and she's says it helped keep her face clear. What works best for me is aveeno clear complexion soap, around $3.00 at Wal-Mart. I use it on my face and shoulders to keep my skin clear and soft.  

Answer 4

yea that doesnt work it just drys your skin  

Answer 5

Heya, Yes it is trur. but the problem is if you have dry skin already it will make your skin dyer and maybe leave red patches or if you have oily skin this could make the problem worse. Any other way would wash your face morning and night but remember to moirsturise after and fill your sink with hot water put a towel over your head and let the steam go into your face that will help something with your pores!

hope i helped ( thats what i do ^)

Answer 7

i've heard of it and all its going to do i dry out your skin and cause more acne. you want to keep your skin moisturized but oil free.

what i do and it works well for me and others is i take a small wash cloth and put really hot water on it and then press it up to where ever i have acne and what happens is red blood cells are attracted to the heat and they'll heal the acne which is a bacterial infection on your face.

do this 6 times a day at most and. and what i also do which is supposedly a NO NO! is if i have acne on my forehead or chin i push out the gunk because i figure the skins right on top of bone, so the acne can't get much worse because it can't go any deeper.

it works for me. i'll wake up in the morning after i've done this and their will be tiny read spots where there was a giant zit.

Answer 8

Does not work, I tried it, and it did not do a thing.  Best solution? just wash everyday and do not pick.  But there is no ''miricle'' overnight cure.
