Skip the Toothpaste!

If you’re tempted to put toothpaste on that pimple – don’t!

You may have tried that overnight pimple remedy of putting some toothpaste on there – but it’s not a good idea. It does help to dry things out a bit – but it can also lead to a bigger breakout. Today’s toothpastes have all sorts of stuff in there – and some of those ingredients are really bad for your skin, like whitening and tartar reducing elements. It’s best to stick to products specifically designed for skin. A dab of honey on there can help too – it moisturizes without adding oil and can reduce swelling and bacteria.
