I have heard that you can use toothpaste to help your pimple(s), but i just dont know how. Like do i put it on only one pimple. And how long?

And if something works better, than what? And please make it with stuff around the house i don't have time to buy something. Ok i only have 3 days. Is there anything that would work in 3 days? And no mean or rude answers.

~Thank you everybody!

  1. toothpaste does work...put a little bit on each spot with your finger....use the toothpaste that is all white with like peroxide in it...they should clear up in three days...oh and leave it on over night and wash it off in the morning with water...do it everynight while you have the spots


  2. whoaa really weird i have toothpaste on my face right now hehe. well what you do is you get tooth PASTE NOT GEL and you put it exactly on the pimple all night. it helps dry out the pimple. also you can put ice on the pimple for 2 minutes every half an hour which reduces the red swelling, another remedy is putting lemon juice on a cotton ball and putting it on the zit for like 5 minutes. all this stuff really works.

    for my face wash i use the neutrogena wave and it is amazing=]

    good luck

  3. Some people believe anything.  Tooth paste doesn&#039;t work.  It just makes it worse.

  4. The only reason i can think of to use toothpaste is if it has grains/powder in it, which would help exfoliate the skin. OR maybe help it dry out?

    Really, it&#039;s better to just use specific acne cream.

    In my experience of 12 years alot of  commercial store bought products DO NOT WORK!

    STAY AWAY FROM ALL THESE HOME REMEDIES. THEY WILL BURN YOUR SKIN OR OVER DRY YOUR SKIN causing your skin to get small tears in your skin which will actually leave your skin more susceptible to bacteria which causes more acne.

    PLEASE READ THIS WITH YOUR MOM if you are under 18, I have a great solution for you!

    Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it&#039;s a broad question!

    Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?

    However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

    Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

    However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

    If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

    If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

    The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

    The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples&#039; needs.

    Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

    Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

    www.aboutyourskincare.com

    You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

    Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

    They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that&#039;s great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it&#039;s gone. It&#039;s truely magic in a bottle.

    A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you&#039;re a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

    Night time:

    1. Exfoliate the skin

    2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

    3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

    4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

    5. Moisturizer

    Morning:

    1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

    2. Moisturizing cream

    The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

    As I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.

    Good Luck to you,

    Michelle

  6. some people say that toothpaste doesn&#039;t work and some people says it does well it depends on your skin tone. but yes usually toothpaste helps clear acne spots i use it at night and wash my face in the morning but sometimes if i don&#039;t where makeup that day and i&#039;m not really going anywhere i will where it during the day and rinse it at night. it doesn&#039;t matter when you put it on but it&#039;s good to keep it on at least for 4 hours. and salt water works to.


  7. You&#039;re supposed to put the toothpaste on the one pimple keep it overnight and wash it in the morning

    HOWEEVER.. i heard that it doesnt work,

    what i suggest is

    Put 2-3 teaspoons of seasalt in a cup or small bowl.

    Add half a cup of HOT-not warm- water.

    Mix the salt and water together with a Q-Tip.

    Apply the the side of the cotton swab you used to mix the salt/water directly onto the zit\pimples.

    Hold the cotton swab to the zit/pimple for 10-20 minutes.

    Repeat once a day every day untill zit\pimples is dried up and has vanished.  

  8. i use toothpaste and i put it on my pimple over night and wash it off in the morning

    i usually try to catch it before its a pimple though

    when its just a bump

    its usually gone by morning
