I've heard a lot of people say to use toothpaste to dry out the spots but does it dry out your skin and damage it? and what kid of spots do you use it on? thanks in advance:)))

I asked in a post what should I use to get rid of a pimple fast. Most days toothpaste didn't work bc it no longer has baking soda in it. That drys out a pimple. I suggest from some tips from people on here said baking soda and water or an Advil liquid pill and poking a hole in it.

I have also tried toothpaste on my pimple. And after some while it start burning and my cheek was red so I wouldn't suggest you to apply it. Rubbing of ice can help.

People do it but I wouldn't recommend it. It's very drying on the skin. Especially toothpastes containing Fluoride, they just make the spots even redder :(

Banana peels! Rub a banana peel on it 2 times a day for about 4 days and it gets rid of most pimples.
