Today, I had a large pimple on my temple. I decided to try the whole "put toothpaste on the zit to make it dry up" technique that all the magazines say to do. Not only is my pimple still there, but the toothpaste irritated my skin and my already large pimple now appears three times bigger. FML

Did you use gel toothpaste or white toothpaste? You're not supposed to use gel.

You wanna know how to get rid of pimples (especially if you have a fair bit)? Honestly, go buy a ******* sun lamp. Or just get outside in the sun. It will honestly clear it up, no lie. I went camping for 5 days in the summer and was constantly outside. And at the end of the trip, I didn't have acne 'cause of the sun.

Yeah, it works great for me too. Zits are infected pores (as opposed to blackheads which are clogged), so disinfecting them solves the problem. The sun is in fact a better disinfectant than any man made chemical. Hang a rag to dry in the sun and it will actually be cleaner than soaking it in bleach. Next time you drop your food on the hot sidewalk, ten second rule :D

You can get spots on the area called skin cancer. some sun = OK. A lot of it, even being burnt a lot can cause skin cancer due to the UV rays. Best way to prevent zits, don't touch your face, and eat healthy in stead of McDonald's or stuff like that.

Never use toothpaste. If you havve problems with pimples, use Witch Hazel as an astringent twice a day on clean skin. Clears any pimples I might have right up. Seriously... I'm not being an a-hole here....
