Pimples are real nightmare to all of us. They can just ruin our appearance and they appears mainly one or two days before an occasion. So you should know some handy application to cure or at least reduce those gritty pimples. We do so many things to cure pimples and it’s marks. There are so many creams and other treatments are also available in the market.
Toothpastes are drying agent and they help to dry out the pimple very effectively. It also helps to reduce minor pimple scars.
You can use toothpaste in two ways-
- Just apply on the affected area and keep it overnight. In the morning the pimple may dry out and reduce in size.
- It you can apply it before bath or cleaning your face for a lesser amount of time.
- In this case conventional toothpaste acts good than gel based toothpastes.

Toothpaste contains baking soda and other kinds of chemicals so they can act as drying agents and dry out occasional pimples. One thing you should definitely keep in your mind that this is not at all for chronic acnes or systic acnes.
And don’t forget to apply ice cubes after washing the toothpaste from the affected area. Cause toothpaste can make that area more sensitive. But I am again saying it can be used mainly when you are running off any acne treatment creams or gels. So it is totally for occasional use and not a daily remedy.
