I vaguely remembered reading that toothpaste could be effective in drying pimples up. Figuring that I didn't have much to lose I put a tiny dab standard white-colored toothpaste on the spot right before I went to bed.
When I woke up the offending area was much clearer. I don't think I'd rely on toothpaste to clear up my skin on a regular basis, but it sure saved the day this time!

No kidding? Wow! I wish I'd known that before I played with the one on my cheek and now have a scab to show for it. I'll try to remember the toothpaste next time.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have a 'souvenir' of your pimple :-)
DeleteWow...who knew!
ReplyDeleteA good emergency fall back
DeleteNever knew that!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. And the zit zapper stuff is the look and feel of toothpaste. Glad you decided to try it. Knock on wood, I haven't had one in a while.
ReplyDeleteI think getting fewer pimples is one of the advantages of being older.
DeleteSeriously? This is cool. I'll fire that news flash to my daughter right now.
ReplyDeleteI bet that even though not everyone can put their hands on acne medicine, they CAN find a tube of toothpaste.
DeleteI rarely have a full on break out, I always seem to have at least one zit. As soon as it clears up, another one takes its place. I'll have to try this!
