Does the toothpaste trick work on blackheads, little pimples and huge zits?

No it doesnt. But this is how I get rid of pimples and blackheads:





Pimples: Mix two parts warm water and one part table salt together. In the result, its salt water. Drop a cotton ball in the water and leave it in for five minutes. Squeeze the excess water out of the cotton ball and place on pimple, for 3-7 minutes. Repeat, on other pimples. Replace the cotton ball after 2 uses. This helps me all the time, try it.





Blackheads: Fill a medium sized glass bowl with bowling water, and place your head above it, steaming your face. Place a hand towel over your neck, preventing the steam from escaping. Do this for 5 - 10 minutes, then use a exfoliant, with warm water on your face. Make your own exfoliant with 1 tablespoon of baking soda and one tabelspoon yogurt. Place on your face for 2 minutes and wash of with warm water. Then splash your face with cold water closing your pores.





HOPE THIS HELPED!Does the toothpaste trick work on blackheads, little pimples and huge zits?
It works to an extent because the ingredients in toothpaste dry it out so that it stops growing and you can remove it more easily. I wouldn't recommend doing it but if you Absolutely insist on trying it do NOT leave it on overnight. My bf did that a while back apparently and it left a permanent depression where the zit was because it got dried out so hardcore the skin died as well.


Best just to invest in a good cleanser and toner :)Does the toothpaste trick work on blackheads, little pimples and huge zits?
I finally have clear skin and I want to share with everyone how I did it.





My condition before: moderate acne on forehead


Now: clear skin, no scars





The regime is realllly simple.





1.





Stop use of all products (Proactive, soap, scrubbing face with washcloth, etc). NEVER irritate your face by overdrying it or rubbing it raw. Overdrying your face (any soap or acne product will do this...that's why after use, people commonly describe that their faces are: ';red';, ';flaky';, or have ';white flakes';. Your body doesn't know that this is supposed to get RID of the oil. No, your brain senses an overly dry face and produces MORE oil (sebum) to compensate for the lack of moisture. Then, too much is produced at one time, the face is oily, the pore is clogged, and you have to start the process over again.





2.





Stop or at least REDUCE the use of foundation/concealer/coverup, basically anything that you spread over your zits to make them appear less red/visible. Basically, makeup is a 10 hour face mask that has no healing/positive values. If you have to use makeup, I heard that mineral makeup covers well and is non-cosmogenic.





3.





So now, we have no more products. The regime now is VERY simple. Just wash your face with water. Splash it on, and don't rub vigorously over your face. Just smoothly and lightly wash the face. Do this for about 20 seconds. Then, take a dry, clean towel and dry it by PATTING your face and letting the towel absorb the water. This minimizes the irritation. Wash 2-4 times a day, preferably once in the morning, once when you get back from school/work, and once in the shower. Don't overdo it, because washing it with water obviously gets rid of sebum and this would make your body overproduce sebum again.





4.





Afterwards, use a moisturizer (that is mild and non-cosmogenic). Personally, I use Johnson and Johnson baby lotion (the regular pink bottle) and it works amazingly. It moisturizes my face very well and I do NOT have any break outs from it. And a plus is that it smells and looks as soft as a baby. And if you heard anything about ';mineral oil,'; one of its ingredients, being bad for your acne, don't be afraid. On a scale of 0 to 5, 5 being clogging the most, baby lotion is a 1 or 2. Look at the website below. I typed into google.com, ';mineral oil clog pores'; and the first couple websites I visited ALL tried to disprove that myth that mineral oil is bad for your skin. =) Here's one of the many links that says that mineral oil is ok for your skin. It's actually pretty good!

5.





=) You're basically done. Just know that during the day, do not touch your zits. Your fingers have A LOT of bacteria on it! If you have to scratch an area, try to direct your nails at that one area, and do it with gentleness. (You know what I mean right?). And never pop a zit. No matter how tempting (I know, a big bulgy white/red mark...I've wanted to so many times), DON'T POP IT! This is irritating to your skin. When you pop it, bacteria goes in no matter how careful you are. And a popped zit just looks gross.





Good luck!!!!! =) I'm basically clear when I followed this. BUT I have to say this. Age has a lot to do with acne. I grew up (17 yrs old) and my acne problems significantly went down.





Key Concepts/Advise:





A.





Always be gentle with your face. Never irritate the pimples. Always splash on face, don't rub infected areas vigorously. This will do nothing but irritate the pimple.





B.





We don't know too much about pimples, but we DO know that once we get them, they will ALWAYS get worse if we irritate our skin.





C.





I used to a clear body (body with no acne) but after no showers for 2 or 3 days, I noticed one or two pimples that looked like whiteheads forming. Therefore, I deduced that pimples were caused by dirt and that they CAN be fixed.





D.





Dry face causes overproduction of oil. Therefore, if you have a regular skin (no soap, overwashing with water, etc) then your body wouldn't need to produce as much sebum--oil.
I've heard it reduces the swelling on big zits, but it hurts too.





If you're prone to bad skin, you want to invest in something that will always fix your skin.





Mario Badescu makes a drying lotion that works crazy well. My best friend in high school had horrible skin and that product made her flawless.

sometimes it works, you have to get the right toothpaste, not just any kind. i used the arm%26amp;hammer one because i heard that the baking soda is good for the acne. theres different kinds, but the whitening one works best, so ive heard.
no.no.no. it makes them worse. I heard about it and it actually made everything worse. Shows kept talking about it, but oprah did a show about beauty and said that this actually make it worse.
From my experience it doesnt work on black head. It shrinks zits %26amp; pimples but doesnt make them go away. Try Boo Boo Zap by Benefit, its sold at Macys. This stuff is amazing! Gets rid of zits over nite! Great for an emergency last min zit.
um no i think you should wash your face more often or buy this
