I should toothpaste on ym face for acne, mini pimples, and red spots. Sometimes I leave the toothpaste on my face overnight and wash it off when I wake up.
I was wondering if it's ok for my face? Because it has a little burning feeling when I put it on my face.
Just to make sure you know, cuz there was this lady on the news where like have the skin is burned or peeled off on her face cuz she felt her face burn when she put on her acne medicine. She thought that's how it was supposed to feel when actually, her face and skin were actually burning! now her face is scarred for life

Toothpaste is an old remedy for a pimple. the burning is caused by menthol in the toothpaste (what gives it its minty flavor) the idea is that applying toothpaste to a pimple will help it to dry out overnight and the menthol will reduce inflamation. However, unless the pimple is very large or oozing the toothpaste will not do much for you. You are better off with an over the counter acne spot treatment containing syalic acid and hydrocortisone [ cdouglas's advice column | Ask cdouglas A Question ]

rick505 answered Sunday April 22 2007, 3:12 pm: the woman on the news had an allergic reaction to a medication. If you were allergic to your toothpaste you would have found that out when you used it to brush your teeth. If you have already left the toothpaste on your face overnight and nothing happened yet, it is most likely nothing will happen. [ rick505's advice column | Ask rick505 A Question ]
