Beauty Myths – Pimples
There are myths circulating out in the thick that putting toothpaste onto an unsightly pimple tends to get it to heal faster. That might be a bit true for most toothpastes have menthol in them which can indeed get them to dry out faster but the many other ingredients you find in them can cause more harm than good so stick to that pimple gel you can get from your local pharmacy. They’ll work better than toothpaste and you don’t end up with your face having a hint of menthol. Over the counter pimple gels work best and can be applied without worrying about complications to your sensitive face but if you’re in a rut (say out in the wild on a hike you do not expect to get out of in the next few hours) dab it on.
