Can toothpaste make acne marks go away?
PIMPLES


Pimples is a unique skin disorder.Pimples are lesions that occur when the skin’s pores are obstructed or infected.They can form for a variety of reasons.However,the mechanism involved in causing some pores to collapse and block drainage of natural oils is not really understood. Pimples may also crop up for genetic reasons. It is not clear how it can be inherited from one’s parents, but studies do indicate a high occurrence of pimples in children whose parents had it,too.


The pimples associated with adolescence almost certainly occur because of hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Both males and females get an overdose of the male hormone testosterone during this period,causing excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples.





GIVEN BELOW ARE A FEW SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES TO FIGHT PIMPLES.





1.The most basic form of pimple prevention is hygiene and preventive skin care. Regular washing of the affected areas with mild soap is a must.The soap need not necessarily contain any chemicals designed to prevent pimples .However, face washing should not be overdone or the skin will become dehydrated .





2.Care should be taken on makeup,moisturizers and other skin care products.If these products are oil based,it would just make the problem worse. Use water based products instead.





3.Generally we rub, press or squeeze our pimples.Don’t when we do this,we risk spreading the bacteria to other areas.





4.Lemon juice diluted in water can be applied externally because of its antiseptic


quality.





5.Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.





6.Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.





7.Before bathing, apply a mixture of fresh tomato pulp, honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.





8.Juice of raw papaya is the best treatment for pimples.Apply fresh juice of raw papaya on pimples and get a good result.





9.Directly rub potato slices all over the face, helps to get rid of blemishes and


pimple scar.





10.Drink plenty of water and vegetable or fruit juices.





11.Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.





12.Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads, fresh juices, fish and


yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples.





13.Another overnight home remedy for pimples is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. Calamine lotion also will have the same drying effect.





14.Pound orange peel with water and apply to affected areas.





15.Another useful remedy for pimples is zinc. Which can be taken in a dose of 50 mg daily for a month and then reduce the dose.





16.You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy.





17.Aspirin contains Beta hydroxy acid which is a powerful defoliant ,so you can crush 1to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash.





Finally,certain medications may temporarily alter the hormonal changes prevalent during adolescence and cause pimple outbreaks. If this is the case, a simple adjustment in medication may be all that is required.

im not sure for burns or what ever.
Reply:try it
Reply:Nope only pimples i think.. Marks need some other products..





Toothpaste - Has to be the paste minty ones not gels.
Reply:maybe
Reply:Nope
Reply:toothpaste is for when u get burned it doesnt make acne marks go away
Reply:Yes it works


and colgate is best


(no menthal strips, try to find the ORIGINAL one. plain white)
Reply:well it doesnt get rid of the zit.....but it does reduce the redness
Reply:the best thing to do would be neosporin, if it works for cuts, it will work for pimple marks
Reply:Yes, almost any toothpaste will work, just make sure it is new.
Reply:it%26#039;s worked for me in the past.
Reply:no it just works on spots cos it dried them out - vitamin E is good for getting rid of scars
Reply:Yes, it does.





Put a little toothpaste on a blemish, leave it on overnight, and the zit should be gone in the morning.


XD
Reply:yah toothpaste can make marks go away. i think any toothpaste will work.
Reply:toothpaste can help a fresh, unsqueezed zit go down a little bit, but don%26#039;t expect too much improvement. If you want to try it, I recommend colgate paste, not gel.
Reply:I%26#039;ve never heard of that. I can tell you though what I used as a teen because there really wasn%26#039;t as many acne products back then as there are now, but I use to use calimine lotion. I%26#039;d put it on thin after washing my face and really it would help a lot!
Reply:i doubt it
Reply:no but it does shrink Ur spots but will not make them vanish there are great creams and tablets u can get from Ur doc to clear up Ur skin so go ask happy new year
Reply:yeah it dries out most pimples
Reply:sorry to disappoint you but only old age will make acne marks go away.
Reply:it usually doesnt get rid of marks, just pimples when they are already through your skin, but you could try acnr free scar fade and erase you can get it at target
Reply:From experience, I don%26#039;t think you should try it if you have very sensitive skin. For me it didn%26#039;t clear away my pimples or reduce them, it only added to my problem--redness %26amp; inflamation. If you don%26#039;t think you will have this problem with your skin, go for it. When I couldn%26#039;t afford my facial cleanser, I always wiped (gentle--no harsh rubbing) over my acne with alcohol and had good results.
Reply:Toothpaste contains some very strong antiseptics to cope with the bacteria in your mouth so yes it will help.
Reply:crest, sort of
Reply:I don%26#039;t think so...I heard toothpaste only heals the acne itself. But I%26#039;ve never tried it. You should use Retin A, or some other cream that is actually supposed to remove scars. I use it, and it seriously helps a lot. However, it takes a long time for the scars to actually disappear. I%26#039;ve heard that Mederma can be used to get rid of acne scars quickly and effectively, but, I%26#039;ve never tried that either. HOPE THIS HELPS!
Reply:i guess so
Reply:no, toothpaste cannot help acne scars. The best treatment is laser because laser can deeply exfoliate the top layers of skin and also help plump the collagen so that the acne mark plumps up from the inside.





If the scarring is not that bad, I would try micro-dermabrasion.
Reply:The best way to remove acne marks is by using a paste of ground fine chickpeas powder mixed with natural lime n some water, can get faster result by adding a bit of turmeric.


all d best.
Reply:no onli pimples


and make sure its paste not gel and make sure it dosnt have a mint stripe or its not whitening or sparkily or anything like that just regular toothpaste ( =
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard that before. The best thing that I%26#039;ve found so far is Calmine Lotion, and it has to be the pink kind. It drys it out and it also acts as a concealer. This stuff works wonderful to hide a blemish. Just put a little dab on the blemish and let it dry. Then cover with your regular make-up.
