There’s something better than toothpaste to dab on that blemish. The simple pimple pill...

Got a pimple? Take an aspirin – and crush it up... 

That little wonder pill is full of salicylic acid which you’re going to need to kill the bacteria in the blemish and speed up the healing process. Add just enough water to your crushed aspirin to make a paste. Apply that to the pimple and let it sit there for about 30 minutes.

As for the old toothpaste pimple remedy – it’s outdated. That helped a bit when toothpaste contained zinc, back in the day. Modern toothpastes really don’t contain any zit-zapping ingredients and could actually make things worse.
