Or is it just an old wives tale? I’ve heard this advice many times but I have no idea whether it works.
I fixed it for you.
Believe or not, HuffPo of all places, has already debunked this. (They usually spread more myths than they bust!)Basically they talked to a dermatologist who said that toothpaste will dry out skin (which sort of helps with the zit) but that it also irritates the skin so you shouldn’t use it. Here’s the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/23/toothpaste-pimples-acne-dry-out_n_1994320.html Thank you! But what worries me in the article is they say that scrubbing with baking soda can help with breakouts but in my experience it is the opposite. Actually any kind of scrub makes any kind of skin irritation worse or it might be just that my skin is very sensitive.
