Does toothpaste help clear out pimples?
Usually, it does. It only works with a toothPASTE not toothpaste (the gel kind). I would recommend using Crest (the regular mint kind). What it does is it crusts up and dries (I would leave it on either overnight or 3-4 hours at a time. After you wake up (or time is up) wash your toothpaste off and put on some lotion. That should do it!
How do you get rid of pimples without using acne products?
Try applying toothpaste on you spots. It will help dry them up. Also try tea tree oil.
How do you get rid of popped pimples fast?
I know this answer sounds weird but it actually works. If you rub toothpaste into your skin where your pimples are right before you go to sleep they get much smaller. Toothpaste makes the pimples dry so they shrivel and become much smaller. Also toothpaste has fluoride, which kill the bacteria and makes the pimples cleaner so they are not as clogged and disgusting. Another thing you can do is pop them, but you can't pop them right when you get them you must pop them when they are ready (which could take a while). It worked for me and now the pimples are gone! :D
Will Colgate toothpaste make pimples go away?
No, using Colgate on acne spots will not necessarily improve your skin. Toothpaste will have a drying effect though, and could cause further irritation, peeling, and redness. To more effectively treat acne, use a formula specifically for skin, such as benzoyl peroxide.
How do you get rid of small pimples in a few hours?
This won't work in a few hours, but it can help overnight. Wash your face with a warm washcloth and pat dry. Put a dab of any kind of toothpaste that is completely white, and dab the toothpaste onto the pimples. The toothpaste helps to dry blemishes so they either get smaller or disappear. If a pimple already has formed a "head", try using a warm compress --warm washcloth put over it for 15 minutes, then pat dry and try the toothpaste. In the morning, remember to wash your face to remove any leftover toothpaste! However! I need to say that even if the pimples do not disappear, you must remember that many teens experience break outs. Don't be embarrassed by it.

How do you apply toothpaste to your face when trying to get rid of pimples?
Toothpaste is only good for pimples on your face. It dries them out. Toothpaste is not good for the skin. If you do use toothpaste for your pimples use white or clear toothpaste. Colored toothpaste will stain your face and make your face the color of the toothpaste for days. Also only put the toothpaste on the pimple. Not on your entire face. It will burn you until your eyes start to water if you do. Also be sure to not leave the toothpaste on for more than 5 minutes or else strong burning will occur.
