is it true that toothpaste will clear zits?

Answer 1

no , the best way is to be healthjy. Sleep , diet and water usually are the best ways of prevention. Use a mild cleanser, the best is cetaphil. Either wash with water or dry, and use witch hazel astringent afterward. Stay away from the mirror which gets you in trouble, and stress breeds bad skin. It will clear up on its own.

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

it is a myth according to allure magazine editor. she was on tyra banks show last fall debunking beauty myths. And this was one of them. in the past, say 10 - 15 years ago when tooth paste was very simple with no real additives, it may have worked. However now days with all the additives for whitening and tarter control etc. it may actually make your skin worse. what you are really after is the salicylic acid in the tooth paste which can be found in common aspirin. crush it up, mix with water to form paste and use that instead.

Answer 4

yeah it does..great trick.! wash and rinse your face in the previous mattress time, do your known habitual in the previous mattress, then get some sturdy previous straightforward colgate and squeeze a tiny dab onto your finger and dab it onto the spots, it does not artwork on zits so do not rub it onto your face basically apply it to single spots yet another astounding ingredient that works on spots is tea tree oil you need to purchase a tube of it at boots for basically £3.00 and as a substitute of the toothpaste basically dab it on in the previous you flow to mattress. xx

Answer 5

It is the mint and pepermint that act like an astringent, but pepermint can burn sensitive skin, so can some of the acidic treatments, witch hazel can help and also any antiseptic liquid applied(like the ones you buy for grazes or cuts).

Answer 6

It will not clear out a zit, but it will dry it out, however be careful if you leave it out too long it will burn your skin and leave a nasty scar and burn. Trust me I am speaking from experience.
I agree that straight peroxide works well, and really inexpensive.

Answer 7

Yes. but regular toothpaste, like the old school, light blue crest cavity fighting kind. It dries them out, toxins and all.

Answer 8

It's not a myth at all... it will work. Put a tiny dab of paste, not gel, on the spot and go to bed. By morning, it will be dryer, much smaller, and not so red.

Answer 9

It can dry them out but it doesn't cure anything. Just go to the drugstore and buy zit cream for under $10... it is less irritating and does the job much better.

Answer 10

the white paste kind, not the gel. you put a little dab of it on before bed, and in the morning it should be dried out.
