Toothpaste on zits?

Question

Does toothpaste on zits really work or are people just saying that to get points?

Answer 1

its the drying effect that does it. u can get better results from a proper cream

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Answer 3

Honestly I have tried it before because I heard of it, I slept with it on overnight, and never noticed any difference other then a red spot from where the toothpaste had been, it irritated my skin. It could just be cuz my skin is sensitive, maybe it really does work for some people, im just not one of them!.

Answer 4

i think it really does work becuase i've tried it before. i put it on at night and slept with it in and washed my face in the morning. it works because it dries out your zit so it absorbs the excess oil in your zit, but i would just settle for an acne cream like zapzit or clearasil, it works just as well if not even better because it's formulated for your zits. hope my advice helped.
