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.

Yes, it can help get rid of acne if it's made with sodium bicarbonate and has peppermint flavoring added ... you can get the same results by making a paste of baking soda and adding some real peppermint oil to it (and a tiny bit of water, since peppermint oil is very strong) ... put a bit of paste onto each pimple or blackhead and let it 'sit' for an hour, then 'scrub hard' with a washcloth and PLAIN hot water (as hot as you can stand) then RINSE well, three times, in warm, cool, and cold water to get your pores to 'close tightly' ... do this EVERY NIGHT before bed and wash the same way (NO SOAP, just PLAIN HOT WATER) in the morning, and again at noon.

Answer 4

well what the toothpaste does is act as a natural absorbent. You put it on any zits on your face and as you sleep it draws out the dirt and oils from teh zit. The next day the zit is smaller and gone within a couple of days.

Answer 5

it's true that toothpaste dries them out... it doesn't nec. heal the zit. I've found that Neosporin is better at getting rid of zits than Oxy or Clearasil. try it!

Answer 6

It definitly works for me.. It dehydrates the pimple and absorbs the oil, leaving the skin clear as it was before. But I only leave it on for a half hour or so.. it doesn't clear it up completely but it gets the process going..

Leaving it on overnight often dries out my skin, but then again I do have dry sensitive skin.

Answer 7

Only if you've got them on your teeth.

Toothpaste contains a powerful astringent called sodium lauryl suphate. This might help with spots, but an astringent lotion would be more beneficial.

Answer 8

I heard this as well but to be honest buy some tea tree essential oil it is far more effective.

Answer 9

I heard this too & tried it, but it didn't work for me. I reckon you're probably better off with proper spot cream.

Answer 10

no it just makes your face smell minty fresh... and besides that have you ever heard of anyone jackin off with toothpaste?? yea i know a guy who did that. toothpaste is only for brushing your teeth. trust me on this one.

Answer 11

No it'll just stop the zit from developing any bigger or turning more red
