Might Help, Please Read! Posted: 11-30-03 05:25am
For those of you with mild/moderate acne,
the toothepast mask really does work. I
have heard on tv that j.Lo does it and it
works for her, and I have seen people who
say that it doesn't work at all and that
it is a myth. But, i'll tell ya it works
for me. Just take toothepaste, a white
paste, not the blue gel, and put it on
your pimples, or problem areas, or even
your whole face, at night before you go to
bed. Wash it off in the morning and go
about your business and repeat every
night. It helped me a lot. Of course,
it burns the first couple of times and you
will peel every once in a while. It
exfoliates your skin and this is why you
peel.
I'm not promising anything, but if you
have tried everything else, it wouldn't
hurt.
If you have dry skin, I don't know how it
will affect you, as mine is very oily.
Hope this helps someone.

I tried the tooth paste thing and it
really works. It dries the pimples out.
The only thing I don't like about it is
the tooth paste is sticky and sticks to
anything you come in contact with.

I've heard about this and have yet to
actually try it on more than a spot. I
also have heard that it mostly works
because of the baking soda in it. So if
you somehow made a baking soda paste it
would have pretty much the same effects.
Again I havn't tested any of this. Gl to
anyone who does. I don't want that crap
all over my pillows. I wouldn't want to
wash them every day.

yes... It would work just as well. In
fact baking soda paste is safer because
different toothpastes can have ingredients
that can burn and really irritate your
skin. Baking soda is also good for
exfoliation (mixed with a gentle
cleanser).

That was my post from my old username
saturn24.
If you let the toothepase dry before you
go to bed then you don't get it on your
pillows and such.
It really does help.
