Toothpaste to spot?

i tried the famous toothpaste on spot overnight trick last night, it did nout, just made it bigger and red, does anyone know if sweating on your face increases spot size becuase i also went running last night. Does anyone have any tips of how to get rid of this big *** spot then overnight again, well by tomorrow afternoon at least.

Toothpaste to spot?
Get some sort of over-the-counter acne treatment, anything with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide is good. Put a BIG dollop on it, and let it dry until it forms a crust on the blemish.





Sometimes toothpaste does not work unless it%26#039;s the old-fashioned paste-paste kind. Whitening toothpastes, any sort of %26quot;clear%26quot; looking toothpaste generally won%26#039;t work.





I agree with hot compresses. I don%26#039;t think sweat would do anything to exacerbate the blemish. Just make sure you wash your face and use an astringent after running before you apply any sort of medication.





If the spot is still there tomorrow, you can try using ice to take away some of the redness.





Good luck!

Reply:Toothpaste doesn%26#039;t work. I don%26#039;t know anything you can just go out and by that will get rid of it that quickly if you haven%26#039;t been using it for a while. I use proactive but I%26#039;ve been using it forever lol.
Reply:yes after you sweat you should wash your face, becasue the sweat can get stuck in your pores. But the tooth paste thing always works for me...but clean and clear makes a product that also works for me too, you should try that.
Reply:The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.


Personally, Proactive didn%26#039;t work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC diffrence in my blackeads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!
