Welcome
Welcome to The Home Remedies for Acne Guide. This site has received its inspiration from an individual who has actually had to deal with acne. The site will consist of providing general information on acne as well as home remedies for acne.
I, the author of this site, plan on personally testing some of these home remedies, unfortunately I too still have a few zits (although they will come in handy for purposes of this website). I realize that everyone has different skin and so it is important that everyone remembers that results will vary—in fact this is the case with all acne medicines, not just home treatments.
To combat the fact that not everyone has the same skin, I will also be scouring the Internet for other reviews on the particular home acne remedy that I am researching.
Let’s get started!
Home Acne Treatment #1 (Toothpaste)
The treatment goes that all you need to do is take the toothpaste and dab the paste on top of the pimple. Most people seem to recommend leaving it on for only a few minutes (10-20 minutes) because of the potential to chemically burn your skin. After the time is up, you simply wipe off the toothpaste with water.
Other Factors: Some people say that the type of toothpaste doesn’t matter. Others claim that you need to avoid any sort of special toothpaste (i.e. gel and whitening toothpastes). They recommend trying regular Colgate or Crest toothpaste.
Our Findings: This isn’t going to “cure” all of your acne problems. Applying toothpaste does appear to reduce inflammation on a swollen pimple. Applied regularly toothpaste appears to dry out the zit, but don’t count on any miracles here.
As with all home remedies for acne we suggest you be careful about what you try. If you are having a photo shoot the next day, then we don’t recommend experimentation. However, if tomorrow isn’t the biggest day of your life, then why not experiment and find out what works best for your skin. Toothpaste does seem to help for some people; however, be careful because some people report awkward looking red marks after use.
For myself personally, I’ll only use toothpaste if I find myself in a situation where I don’t have other, safer acne remedies that I’ve already tried. That being said, toothpaste has reduced the inflammation on my own pimples and worst case scenario it gets me to stop picking at them because I don’t want to get toothpaste on my hands.?
