Is it good to apply paste on face for getting rid of pimples?

Tooth paste might dry out the skin, but it is actually scientifically proven to actually irritate the pimple, and potentially worsen it. The best thing to do if you don't have acne treatments like salicylic acid or acne spot treatment gels is to mash up an aspirin tablet and mix it with water because it contains high amounts of salicylic acid, that dries out pimples so that they reduce faster. Don't use Tylenol (acetaminophen) - it does not contain any salicylic acid, which is what you need

How To Select Best Acne Treatments?

Acne affects millions of teens and adults. It can be hard to find the right treatment for acne, if you don’t know where to start. In order to find the best acne treatments, you will need to figure out what your skin type is. There are five skin types, which are normal, oily, dry, sensitive, and combination. Once you decide what your skin type is, you can find out what acne treatment would be best for you. Normal Skin 1.Wash face with gentle cleanser and rinse off with warm water. A good gentle cleanser would be Cetaphil for Normal to Oily Skin. 2.Pat your face dry and let it dry for 10 minutes. 3.Apply a thin layer of 2% salicylic acid onto your face. Salicylic acid comes in a gel, toner, and moisturizer. 4.Let the salicylic acid dry for 10 minutes before applying a SPF 15 moisturizer. 5.Apply Olay SPF 15 moisturizer for normal skin. 6.Repeat the process at night, but at night use Cetaphil moisturizer on face after applying salicylic acid. Oily and Combination Skin 1.Wash face with an oil-free cleanser, preferably one that is a gel cleanser. Use warm water to rinse. 2.Pat dry and allow the face to dry for 10 minutes. 3.Apply a thin layer of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide to face and let it dry for 10 minutes. 4.Apply Olay SPF 15 Sensitive Skin moisturizer. 5.Repeat the same process at night, but use Cetaphil moisturizer at night after using benzoyl peroxide. Dry and Sensitive Skin 1.Wash face with a gentle cleanser and rinse off with warm water. 2.Pay dry and wait 10 minutes before applying acne medication. 3.Apply a thin layer of 0.5% salicylic acid to face and let it dry for 10 minutes. 4.Apply Olay SPF 15 dry skin moisturizer to face. 5.At night, repeat and use Cetaphil moisturizer on your face after applying acne medication.

Does aspirin get rid of pimples?

yes aspirin mask is reasonable for treatment of Acne. Clarification: Why does it work? I know that the active ingredient in aspirin is salicylic acid. I know further that the same is the active ingredient in many anti-acne creams (such as that of Clearasil, Nutragena, etc.). So intiutively, it seems an aspirin mask should help. However, I also know that salicylic acid is very non-soluble. So creating a paste of aspirin powder and water should create something that leaves the salicylic acid mostly non-available to the skin, i.e., not dissolved in the water. So why should it work well? Perhaps other ingredients are needed to make the active ingredient more bio-available? Anyone have concrete information about this? Further Clarification: The active ingredient in aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. In the presence of water at a neutral pH, this compound will hydrolyze to salicylic acid and acetic acid to a very small extent. It is likely that aspirin masks are only safe because this hydrolysis is very minimal in water of a neutral pH. It is precisely because salicylic acid is lipid-soluble that it is so effective treating acne at very low concentrations. The acid is able to dissolve in the sebum and penetrate into pores to exert its exfoliating effects.
