Does putting toothpaste on a pimple really work?

In: Conditions and Diseases, Skin Care, Beauty, Skin Disorders, Acne [Edit categories]

Answer:

If you have sensitive skin, no, it will dry out and burn your skin. If you don't, then yes, it eats away at the fatty oils of a zit and dries it out. Sometimes, it will bring it to a head, so you can pop it. Be careful when popping zits, as Bactria can spread. Pop it with clean hands, then wash your face. Don't listen to people who tell you not to do a particular remedy, as it may not work for them, but it may work for you.
