Use toothpaste to banish pimples overnight
How often have you experienced this situation — a day before an important event, a pimple pops up on your face. Chances are, quite a few times. We don’t know how this happens but we can give you a quick remedy for it. Simply, use your toothpaste. Take a pea-sized amount on your palm and then gently apply it on the pimple. Let it stay overnight and then the next morning wash your face with your regular face wash. You will notice that by morning, the pimple would have dried and either disappeared or become smaller in size. The toothpaste kills the bacteria in it, dries out the pus and prevents further infection.
Though this is a quick-fix, it is not a long-term solution to get rid of pimples. It is a good remedy for getting rid of 1-2 pimples which pop up out of nowhere on your skin but if you are constantly battling acne, see a skin specialist.
