So I have two questions and was wonder how to get rid of a pimple, I head toothpaste but I'm not sure and thought about other options and second question is to naturally bleach your skin like knees. I don't want to use the creams and I know there's a way to do it naturally but I don't know what to use.

Toothpaste is harsh for your skin.
so is lemon & baking soda.

Do not put toothpaste on your zits! I hate that it's such a popular remedy, it's ridiculous and does nothing good for your skin. Often times, it'll leave you with acne scars. Second question, I don't know of any natural ways but I'm 100% against skin bleaching. Judging by your profile picture, you have beautiful skin with a gorgeous tan and I don't understand why you'd want to change it. In conclusion, no toothpaste does not work, stick to your skincare routine and maybe invest in a spot treatment and be happy in your skin because it's beautiful :)

So to the first question I would say to put ice on your pimples, that works well with swelling, or maybe invest in some clean and clear or proactive because that's the best resolution in my opinion.. And I'm not sure what bleaching your skin means so sorry but I can't help you with that lol

I don't recommend proactive, it's a nightmare in a bottle. And I'm sorry I read it wrong, I have the same thing on my knees from skinning them too much as a child, I just ignore them usually. I recommend Neutrogena for face stuff, it's incredible.

I had the same problem with some clean and clear products but I tryed the clean and clear acne spot treatment and it didn't break me out and it did help...but if it still breaks you out I think proactive will work like you said

Neutrogena has a couple acne spot treatments as well.
Mar 13, 2015
Les N.

Les N.
Well I don't have sensitive skin so clean & clear works well for me

Clean&Clear sucks and so does Proactiv haha. Definetlt don't put toothpaste on your skin. Don't put lemon, baking soda or vinegar on it either. I suggest cleansing your skin, putting ice on.the pimple and then putting a spot treatment on it. Teat tree oil works great and I also love the Burts Bees Acne Spot Treatment :) it makes pimples go away overnight lol. I think using Dickinson's Witch Hazel Toner is good at calming irritation from from pimples as well. I don't recommend you bleaching your skin. I think skin bleaching is gross and unecessary. Please be happy with the skin you have now and take care of it properly. Drink plenty of water, and eat healthy and you'll see results with your skin. Good luck! <3 xx

I find that pressing an ice cube (wrapped in tissue so your hands don't freeze!) onto pimples really helps. It stings a little at first because its cold, but it really helps to reduce redness and swelling, and because this will stimulate blood flow to the area, it will clear up faster. No chemicals needed!
