Here's why you should never put toothpaste on spots... 😳
In fact, this so-called quick-fix can cause some serious skin damage and make that blemish much worse.
"People apply it to a blemish thinking it will dry the pimple out but what it does is irritate the skin and causes redness." Technically speaking, most toothpastes contain ingredients like triclosan, which is anti-bacterial and may help to mitigate the acne-causing bacteria that lead to spots. Its true also, that certain ingredients in your toothpaste will help to dry skin out. But, the chemicals in question – namely baking soda, alcohol and even hydrogen peroxide – aren't safe for skin, are likely to irritate and cause more problems in the long run than they solve.
