Does Toothpaste Work for Acne?



Although there is so much argument out there as to whether toothpaste is good for the treatment of zits/pimples, but its effects on the skin is more paramount. Some people argue it is not good because it causes burns. Others encouraged the use of it with proven results. It pissed me off to see people arguing like crazy because it worked for someone and not for the other.

Whatever category you belong, we have to understand certain things when considering toothpaste as a remedy for acne treatment.

First, we have to understand that different people have different skins and thus get different reaction.
Second, certain toothpaste actually causes burns, for example, Crest. Find out which toothpaste is good for you. Many people prefer Aquafresh because of its mildness on the skin.
Third, find out if you can leave it on your skin overnight. For some folks, they can afford to do so without experiencing any burn.

If you have acute acne, you may not consider this option. Toothpaste really doesn’t get rid of acne, but it makes them noticeably smaller and clears them up faster.

However I will recommend you only apply toothpaste on the particular spot where the zit is after you must have washed your face with warm water. Rinse immediately when you notice any itching or burning sensation.
In conclusion, discover what works best for your skin and stick to it until you achieve results.

You will be astonished at the wonderful impact this method will have on your skin. To discover more tips on how to live an acne free life, click HERE.
