Did you know that toothpaste can cure zits?!?

I found out that when you put toothpaste on your zits they go away and stop others from forming.Did you know that toothpaste can cure zits?!?
who knows....for all we know sex can cure zitsDid you know that toothpaste can cure zits?!?
that is interesting. but is toothpaste safe to use for zits? i would check what the ingredients are and if they can cause any bad side effects. Report Abuse

no
Using toothpaste in a gel form for regular brushing can actually cause some people to break out . My dermatologist recommended sticking to white paste for brushing and it helped clear up my jaw line tremendously. If I ever use gel for a week or more, it starts all up again.
sometimes but you need something with benzoyl peroxide is the key to antibacterial agent to fight acne, in stonger 6% formula for fast action.
no i think tis a mith
it doesn't, as a matter of fact its bad for skin
Yes. A skin specialist I know said that. It has to be regular white toothpaste, tho, not gel or anything colored. He also said to stay away from dark soda pop, I don't know why.
It helps in a pinch, but you should not be using it for long term. It has to be the white paste (gel apparently does not work), but only short term quick fixes because it is so drying.
In my experience I have used this ';method'; with great results. Although bear in mind that it has to be plain ol' white toothPASTE. Not gel, etc. Some people say that it doesn't work or it can't work. I suppose like anything you'd have to try it and see if it works for you personally. There's also another product from Origins which works quite well called ';Spot Remover';. Pretty much anything containing salcylic acid will dry the little sucker out.
it does not cure acne all it does is dry out the zit and make it look even more bad that's a myth don't be fooled.
yes
its likely the level of menthol in the toothpaste...
yea it dies it out
didn't know that.
really, thats wierd.
sure it does.... NOT... don't be fooled...
I also heard that but never tried it.
Lol! I wouldn't be a teenager again for all the tea in China.
yeah sometimes but not all people for me it just makes it worse i have sensitive skin :/
I saw that someplace here and i tried it last week. It works!! But am not sure its a good idea to use it always though.
never heard of this, but thx. i will check into it.
I actually tried this as a teenager and it worked for me. It wasn't an instant thing but it certainly dried up that sucker and it went away quicker that usual!
yes and it also cleans jewelry really nice
wow i didnt know
?????????????????????????
my brother swears that fresh lemon juice works....
no, it just dries the zit up and causes future zits
Yes, it helps dry them up quickly.
not on sensitive skin...





don't use whitening toothpaste.. because whitening toothpaste has stronger bleach than the other kinds..
I do this and yes it does work. Remember though, before resorting to toothpaste follow a acne regime for your face, if you run out of acne creme you can use toothpaste but I wouldn't recommend it as your daily acne regime.
That is true...the toothpaste dries out your skin and gets rid of the zit, however, unless you are putting toothpaste all over your face, it will not prevent zits from forming. Cleaning your face everyday or even twice a day pending on how oily your skin is, will keep the zits away. I also recommend a really good face cleaner. Proactive really does work, also dermalogica if you are looking for something that really works.

Everyone has zits, how do you deal with them?

im 14 and i have some zits on my forhead. i wash my face every night and i shower every morning so its not from being dirty its just part of being a teen. at first i was mad but now i just accepted it and im looking for ways to try to control them. i dont have tons just like 4 and they kind of hurt when i touch them. any good creams or face washes or anything?Everyone has zits, how do you deal with them?
Well first of all- DONT touch them. Touching your face all the time just spreads bacteria and oils. And I would recomend Neutrogena Acne Washes. They work pretty good on my skin. And before you use any cleanser, put a warm cloth on your face to open your pores, then wash it with the cleanser- this will result in a better deep down clean. Also, after cleansing use a toner (Clean and Clear toner is really good). This controls redness and helps to eliminate zits as well. Good luck!Everyone has zits, how do you deal with them?
I use a lot of Clean and Clear washes and lotions. It's not too expensive, and it's effective. Go to a dermatologist though if it gets worse or if your mom or father had bad skin problems when they were your age. (I'm 14 too) Your more prone to get acne if they had it kinda bad. Going to a dermatologist will work though. Acne is more of an infection almost. Dermatologists have tons of effective pills, washes, and lotions they'll clear your acne if you keep using them.
i use nutrogena cream clenser (mornign and night)


and olay mosturizer





(nutrogena is a great brand id it has many good products!)
dude i've known you since kindergarden and your face is angel clean. your like the 3rd hottest guy in are school so shut up and just keep looking beautiful inside and out!

no ***** way!!!!!!!!

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





Your age plays a role! How old are you?





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





Plus, if you are a male at 14 your body releases excess testostorone which promotes body growth but at the same time it also stimulates your oil glands to over work and thus you get breakouts.





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' 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'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's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.





A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you'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. Viisit the website I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.





I suggest you check out the website with one of your parents.





Good Luck to you,

How to get rid of a zit overnight?

I have like 3 zits on my head.


And i have to get some photos taken tomarrow.


Is there a way to get rid of them overnight?


Or atleast reduce the size and color.How to get rid of a zit overnight?
Stress is probably what caused them in the first place so try to relax. Soak your face with a hot washcloth a few times today, use any acne stuff you have, maybe you can even go to bed with toothpaste on your zits like I've heard works. There are a ton of methods so pick a few and hope they work.How to get rid of a zit overnight?
Overnight..Hmmm. Try Benzoyl Peroxide. It reduces swelling.


If you are in less of a pinch this method I use makes my pimples leave no or a very light scar; use a hot cloth and apply it to your pimple with slight pressure. If you have anything in the pimple, it wil come to the top and you can then wipe it off. It may bleed. After you have gotton the bacteria out, cleanse with warm water or astringent/ Then apply and cover with a band-aid overnight.. Apply the Polysporin again the next night and countinue for 3 nights.. Varies.





No more scarring. :) %26lt;3
toothpaste or spot treatment.

How can I get rid of zit outbreaks quickly and easily?

I use acne cream allot on my face but it never seams to work. Please help!How can I get rid of zit outbreaks quickly and easily?
Try this,

It worked really well for meHow can I get rid of zit outbreaks quickly and easily?
What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.





Before trying any treatment, I suggest you read this informational source that listed the most effective acne treatments available:





http://www.17acnetreatments.com





P.S. I also know someone who used to suffer from severe acne for 14 YEARS and finally got rid of it completely. She's sharing her story at her site:





http://20six.co.uk/my-acne-solution





Maybe you could learn from her inspirational story


.
My doctor prescribed me amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic. I take it twice daily by mouth for acne. Clears up decently fast. Of course, there are also other antibiotics too, along with prescription creams and micro-jels like Retin-A and Bezaclin. I hope I helped :)
Have you tried differin cream? It great!





Also sometimes you need to use a non-oil lotion because some creams dry out skin.
Proactiv. Do it.

What are these white puss filled zit things on head and face?

I get these white puss filled sit like bumps on my face and back of neck. Sometimes on my arms and chest. It sometimes accompanies greasy or most skin. These are not your common acne or zits. they are painful and produce a white viscous liquid when popped. they are usually about the size of a pin head.What are these white puss filled zit things on head and face?
They could be whiteheads or even pustules here is the definition :Pustules: A pustule is similar to a whitehead, but is inflamed, and appears as a red circle with a white or yellow center. Pustules are your garden variety zit. Hope that helps. You might want to re consider the popping, pop it wrong and scars occur, always wash your hands before popping as well. Hope that helpsWhat are these white puss filled zit things on head and face?
they are called white heads..like black heads they are the result of a build up of oil and dirt......wash your face and neck more often especially in the summer...use medicine on them..
They're probably whiteheads or infected pimples, they will hurt a lot if you try to squeeze them before they're ready. The best thing to do is just to keep your face and hands clean and keep your hands away from your face, and try some topical OTC acne treatment. They will open on their own, it's gross, I know, but it just takes time for your skin to clear. Check with a dermatologist, there may be prescription meds you can take.





Best wishes.

How do I keep my face zit free?

Im in the stage where I get pimples. They are coming out, but how do I still prevent them from coming on my face? Do I use a kind of medicine or do I keep away from sunlight? What good facial cream could open my pores and get all the unwanted blemishes out? HELP ME!How do I keep my face zit free?
a lot of it has to do with what you eat. try to cut out sugary and greasy foods down if not out completely if you can.





my acne never cleared up before i went to the dermatologist. It may seem out of the way but if you want your acne to go away you have to put in the effort. For me, they prescribed two things to actually put on my face, one morning, one night. along with that i also took pills called cephalexin. However, other people i know that had acne took different kinds of stuff. It took a little while to trial and error to figure out which system was working best for me, and thats something a derm can and really needs to (in my opinion) assist you with. they know whats best, its their job!How do I keep my face zit free?
Try St.lves it is amazing. What I do to keep my skin clean and beutiful is splah my face with really hot water then pat it off a little bit so it is just damp then rub on the St.lves face wash. Leave it on for 30 seconds and wash it off and pat it till it is totally dry. Hope it works it always does for me
None of the above my dear Watson. It is all elementary. Check your DIET and fashion it so that toxins DO NOT enter your body.





When the body can not rid itself of toxins that we gather through our BAD eating habits, it sends the toxins UP UP through the skin causing pimples and zits.





Have LESS energy drinks, sweets, processed foods from Mickey D's and Wendy's.





Have MORE water, celery, carrots, bell peppers and home cooked meals with little salt, etc.
I have recently bought a few products from avon from their Clearskin line. The toner works magic! I also use the cleanser... but the toner is what works magic. It comes in a huge bottle for just $5 and is soooo worth every penny because it works sooo good. You will notice a difference in a few days... maybe even in just one! Good luck!

my face is smooth and flawless . (:
Face wash??
PROACTIVE SUCKS!! seriously try clinique it works like a charm

How come when I pluck my eyebrows, theres a black speck I have to squeeze out like a zit?

Also, some of the black specks, when squeezed, push out the start of a new hair, which I also have to pluck! The dark zit like things make it look like I still have unplucked brow hairs and I am tired of plucking everyday. What are they and what causes them? Thanks in advance.How come when I pluck my eyebrows, theres a black speck I have to squeeze out like a zit?
blackheads probably. Blackheads are those annoying little blackish or yellowish bumps embedded into the pores of our skin. Blackheads usually develop if your skin produces too much oil. With the start of puberty, hormones in the body become upregulated with the accumulation of the hormone by-product Dihydrotestosterone or DHT. You can extract blackheads yourself if there is no infection on and around it. Just make sure you use sterile materials and do so in a clean environment. You can begin by steaming your skin for a while over a bowl of hot water to loosen the pores and make the extraction process less painful. Be careful not to scald yourself.How come when I pluck my eyebrows, theres a black speck I have to squeeze out like a zit?
I'm pretty sure that the black speck is hair that's still in the follicle, if you get your eyebrows waxed then you shouldn't have that problem and won't have to pluck your eyebrows everyday.
