The alcohol in the toothpaste drys out the pimple. There are better remedies though...





The tricky part about acne is that the problem can


actually become worse if you overmedicate. That's


because acne medication can overdry the skin, causing


a boost in your skin's Sebum (oil) production. This


results in...you guessed it - more acne.





So what's the long term solution? Find gentler


solutions or even natural acne cures that won't


shock your body into more breakouts.





Here's what I recommend...





Glycerin based facewash:


Glycerin is gentler and will balance the


pH levels in your skin.





Antibacterial Soap:


For body acne, try using an antibacterial soap


to slowly dry out the skin. If your skin gets too dry,


switch to a moisterizing soap like Dove to


counterbalance the effect.





Don't Overwash:


Wash your face only 2 times a day max and gently


pat dry with a towel.





Moisterize:


Use a gentle face moisterizer if the glycerin based


face wash drys you out too much. I like using


Aveeno moisterizers personally.





Change Your Diet:


Eat almonds, fiber, drink lots of water and avoid


excess sugar intake. Food really does make a difference.


This is because the food you put into your body has a


direct effect on your Sebum (oil) production. By eating


the right foods, you'll minimize oily skin, thereby


preventing breakouts.





Egg Whites:


If acne medication isn't working or causing new breakouts,


try applying egg whites to the pimples at night before bed.


This natural remedy works by gently drying out the clogged


pores and clearing up the pimple.





Oatmeal Masks:


One of my favorite natural skin conditioners is wearing an


';oatmeal mask';. The oatmeal with smooth your skin while


simultaneously absorb toxins and oils from your pores.


Try this for a few days straight. Wear the oatmeal mask


for 10 minutes, then wash off. You'll have a nice


glowing complexion right after.





Lemon Juice:


Lemon juice also dries up pimples and kills any bacteria


in the infection.The citric acid also balances your skin's


pH levels to prevent future breakouts.





Honey:


Yes, despite your initial beliefs, honey is FANTASTIC for


skin care. Actually, you may notice on many moisterizers


that honey is an ingredient. Much like the lemon solution


above, honey balances the skins pH levels. Test out this


sticky remedy by dabbing pimples with honey and leaving it


on for 5-10 minutes. You can apply full honey masks to your


face but I prefer the oatmeal masks instead.


They're less messy.

First of all, no one has flawless skin. Some people have it better than others, but thats just genes and stuff. Go to www.freewebs .com/reelbeauty11 for skin and beauty tips. I know its for young girls, but it works for anyone!





I know some people who have tried ProActive and it worked, but I also know some others who have tried it and it made it worse :( I know some who have put rubbing alchol on their skin or peroxcide to dry up the pimples. It also kills bacteria :) . Also, try going to a dermotoligist, or ask your regular doctor. Often times the regular doctor, who knows more about your med. history and whatnot can help you more than a dermatologist.





are you a vegetarian? That might have something to do with it. Its worth checking into.





Try dabbing toothpaste or honey on your zits before you go to bed - works wonders.





Overall, remember that beauty counts more on the inside than on the outside, and your true friends will love you for you, and not your skin.





Oh, and try a different kind of foundation, if you wear it. Try to use a kind with lots of water in it. It looks great and doesn't clog pores half as bad. And check your habits - do you prop your chin up a lot with your hands? That might cause the acne as well. Look for the cause, as well as the cure.
Well toothpaste doesn't help get rid of Acne,


What it does do is dry out the pimple, after you popped it. Therefore, it won't look all gross.


I've never tried it,but my friends have, and all you do it put toothpaste on it for a few hours, then wash it off.
Read the back of the tube, wait it doesn't work on acne it's for teeth. Anyone whose had results got lucky, many people return here as now they have acne and burned skin.





Stick to products tested and formulated for your face and acne - :)
It drys it up and stops inflammation, apply it and leave it for 2-5 minutes and wash it off. Don't leave it over Night. That can mess up your skin. Visit Http://SmoothMoistSkin.com for more information.
The toothpaste gets rid of the redness on your skin and it also helps to dry up the acne. I would apply it at night before you go to bed. It won't come off until it is washed.

I would just get a clay mask if I were you; it is meant to go on your face for acne!
