I'm having some bad break outs and I ran out of my pimple spot so I'm using toothpaste. Do any of you girls do this?? Does it really help? Thanks!

No, the chemicals are much too harsh. It can cause further irritation

I also use this it works a lot sorry I made it rlly messy haha

Technically yes it does dry them out, but so does lemon and baking soda and that doesn't mean you should put them on your skin! It is very drying and harsh and it actually tears away at layers of skin. Apply an ice cube wrapped in paper towel followed by a seeped tea bag instead :)

Drinking more water also prevents pimples. My face was covered with pimples but wen I started drinking water my face was clear.

Drink water. try tea tree to dry them out but you need to moisturize after cuz the oil dries your skin out. try to use less makeup. you could also just put moringa or another natural oil onto the pimple. I noticed that when I do that the pimple is ready to be popped the next day. I pop it use a bit of alcohol to clean the popped pimple so its not infected.

It has worked for me before. I'm sure it won't damage your skin too terribly if you use it as a spot treatment once or twice.

No! you should stop using toothpaste. it's extremely drying and has harsh chemicals that can damage your skin. you should just get more of your pimple spot cream :) also, drink plenty of water, get lots of exercise, and eat healthy :)
