would those work? well can you tell me how to use toothpaste for pimples?

thanks, remember best anwser 10 POINTS!

Answer 1

You know what works? Neosporin. Leave it on overnight. My friend told me that awhile ago and I was like, whatever, but I used it and it worked, took 3 days or so. No redness, no scarring from picking, it worked pretty good.

Answer 2

I honestly do not anything about toothpaste and zits.

If you want your zits to go away and stay away, then you need a face cleaning regiment. You need an antibacterial cleanser, an astringent (witch hazel is good), and a face mask that you smear over your face and allow to harden. You could also use a scrub that will remove dead skin on the face.

You want a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide, this is what kills acne. You wash your face once a day with the cleanser and you also put the astringent on afterward. Also if use hot water to open your pores and cold to close them. You use the mask once a week at the most to pull zits to a head and also pull out other impurities (such as black heads). Then you'll want to use the scrub no more than twice a week to remove dead skin cells (I recommend St Ives Apricot Scrub).

I have also heard that windex will make zits go away faster, but in all honesty, these "quick fixes" do not last in the long run, which is what you really need. Begin a regiment and stick with it. In a few weeks, your zits will have cleared up and you will hardly have to worry about getting zits from an unclean face. Now, you can't stop the ones you get when you cycle or your hormones are out of whack, that's just life, but you can prevent horrendous break outs from occurring.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Toothpaste dries out your zits. It works for most people but some claim it doesn't. Make sure you use it ONLY on your zits as it's very drying to the skin. Leave the paste on your zits for 30mins. Any toothpaste would do. Not the gel ones though. Also, avoid one with mint as an ingredient. I guess the baking soda one you have would do fine as baking soda is also used to treat pimples.

Answer 4

yes toothpaste does work-you need to make sure that you put it only on the pimple or it can dry out your skin. Try the fluoride one-give it a couple days but you should begin to see a differnce after the first day.

Answer 5

if this does get rid of the pimple what happens when you get it again. My things is to use a product that will prevent you from getting them again. Use a product for oily skin type. Make sure you get a system that cleanses, tones, and moisturizes. Wash face with a really good product. Well this is what I use. http://cgarcia1.qbeautyzone.com/products... Keeps face 100% oil free for up to 12 hours. Oil is why we breakout. When pores are large oil get out to the surface attracting dirt, makeup buildup and clogs the pores. If we don't clean, tone and moisturize pimples are created. You need a really good product that is best for oily skin. Cleansing washes away dirt, makeup buildup, and other debris that clogs pores. Toning closes your pores so oil don't get out to the surface. Oil stays in. Moisturizing protects your face from the sun and because of the cleansing that washed away oil and toning closes your pores so oil don't get out, Moisturizing hydrates your skin and puts it back in shape. I also use this http://cgarcia1.qbeautyzone.com/products...
right when I see a little one about to come out I apply this on the spot and then by the next day it's gone. Keep your skin blemish free! Treat, heal, and manage breakouts with Blemish Control Acne Treatment Gel. The salicylic acid helps control blemishes, while the Nutrilite-approved ginseng provides clarifying properties, and the chamomile soothes skin. If not the product hope the cleansing, toning and moisturizing with which ever product you choose really does help.

Answer 6

Puting toothpaste on pimples has NEVER worked for me. It is supposed to dry your zits out and help them shrink, but that didn't happen. It may work on you ya never know. It doesn't matter what kind you use so i would just use the fluoride and baking soda one.

Answer 7

I use tooth paste on my pimples all the time ! It does work . I think any kind is ok, just put a little tiny bit right on the pimple it self wait a few minutes and then wipe it off with a damp cloth. Hope that I helped!

Answer 8

Ummm.. whoever told you the brand is probably right. They must be talking about Colgate and it does work but i would not use it. My dermatoligist told me to not use it because it prevents the skin that you applied the toothpaste to stop tanning which leads to sunburn until your skin sheds itself.
If you want clear skin, neutrogena rapid clear to get rid of acne and St. Ives Acne/Blemish wash to get rid of the scars.

Answer 9

f(a+h) = (a+h)^2 - 3(a+h) + 5 = a^2 + 2ah + h^2 - 3a - 3h + 5 Also, your answer of 9 for f(-1) is correct.

Answer 10

I've heard this and honestly I'm not sure. Try straight peroxide instead. It also whitens your teeth.
