Do you have a zit that you need to zap?
Well, you can apply toothpaste to your pimples. According to some dermatologists, toothpaste works much like a clay mask. It dehydrates the spot and reduces oil, which can shrink considerably.

I heard this a while back, but I also heard that this was a myth. I tried it a couple times and it did not really work for me. It might just be me though. Has anybody else tried the toothpaste trick?

Actually, it only dries out your pimple. Normally, a ripe pimple would be present at an average of 5-7 days. The toothpaste would just lessen this period.

I have used toothpaste on my zits before. I heard about the toothpaste trick a few years back, i can't remember if it worked or not. What I do remember is the tingles, does anyone else who did or does the toothpaste trick love the tingles?

The tingling effect of the toothpaste means that it is working. Because some acne products have that effect, too. And people say that it is just normal.
