Toothpaste for pimples

Submitted by marylou q

Use toothpaste to get rid of zits or pimples apply a little over night or if you already took your bath apply to the pimple.

Please people, what is with all of the miss-spelled words and abbreviations? No slang or jargon is to be written on websites!

Many of you do not follow PRECISE DIRECTIONS!

  1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, or water.
     
  2. Make sure you have PASTE not GEL. Apply to the acne and surrounding areas.
     
  3. Leave the treatment on for 30-60 minutes depending on your skin type.(if you feel severe burning STOP! and DO NOT leave in over night!)
     
  4. Wash your face with lukewarm water. Make sure that you remove all traces of acne for if you miss some it could burn your skin!
     
  5. Pat your skin dry. DO NOT RUB!!!
     
  6. Get a moisturizer and apply in a circular or left-to-right motion to your ENTIRE face.
     
  7. Make sure you get at least 7-8 hours of sleep and in the morning, your acne will be reduced (NOT CURED!)

Good Luck! :D

It works...however Comments By: Heidi on 2009-12-31
Tips for toothpaste:
1. When you use it, make sure it's not the kind of toothpaste that has a gel strip, mint strips, or gel at all. Most people use Colgate white, which is just regular toothpaste.
2. ONLY put it on the AFFECTED areas! Not only will it dry out your skin, but it will burn and get sores, so only on the pimples!
3. For sensitive skin, don't leave it on for more than 1 hour! Some people say they could leave it on overnight, but it's different for others with sensitive skin.
4. Moisturize your face before putting it on!
5. Don't put the toothpaste on pimples that have already been popped.

:) With those tips, it will work!

I used it over night, and now my skin is smooth yes, shiny yes, and it is also RED. ITS BEEN RED THE WHOLE DAY. i thought it would work... but it didnt work for me...
 
USE WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNING Comments By: anon on 2010-01-21
i had heard some good things about using toothpaste but after what has happened i will never use it again!
i has a few blemishes so i put a but on before i went to bed but i put too much and i ignored the burning sensation on my face. the next day i woke up with huge BURNS in the places i had put the toothpaste.
if you do use it, make sure you read warnings on how to apply and how much.
because otherwise you'll make your face even worse.
and you can barely cover the burns up with makeup.
 
Toothpaste warning! Comments By: Be careful on 2010-01-21
I recently used a toothpaste mask on my face; it worked wonders...

The second time I did it, I felt a really bad burning sensation and my eyes were tearing up...It was horrible

I wouldn't really recommend it but it did work for me; I didn't think that I had sensitive skin but I do...
