Today, I woke up to find that not only did the toothpaste I put on my pimple make it more noticable, but it made it worse. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Today, I was trying to apply some toothpaste on my pimple to help dry it out. My mum came from behind and hugged me, making me accidentally apply minty toothpaste into my right eye instead. FML
Today, while brushing my teeth half asleep, I stabbed myself in the eye with my toothbrush, toothpaste included. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom. As I looked in the mirror, I spotted a zit on my forehead. Keeping my toothbrush in my mouth, I quickly leaned in towards the mirror to pop the pimple, meanwhile lodging my toothbrush down my throat. I temporarily can't talk. FML
Today, whilst brushing my teeth, I fell asleep, poking myself in the eye with my toothbrush. FML
Today, while brushing my teeth, I applied the toothpaste to my toothbrush when a few bristles got caught on the lip of the tube and flung a glob of toothpaste into my eye. My eye is now bloodshot, but at least it's minty fresh. FML
Today, I found out that the acne under my arms was worse then the severe acne on my face. FML
Today, I popped a zit that had formed around an ingrown hair "down there". It popped with so much force, the pus hit me in the forehead. Still can't get the hair out. FML
Today, I discovered the effect the cream has that my mom gave me. It was for my acne and it worked, in a way. Instead of having a lot of little pimples, I now just have a few gigantic ones. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth in a rush before work. I squeezed the toothpaste tube too hard, and some of it it shot directly into my eye. I spent the next ten minutes half-blind, crying peppermint tears, and still somehow managed to be late. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Supposedly toothpaste dries it up, but it contains some chemicals that can irritate your skin.

You deserve it for not using Crest brand whitening toothpaste.

Be proactive..? If it's as good as it's being endorsed as, that sucker Well be gone.

Not always... I've seen people get worse with proactive and for the people it does work for, the moment you stop the treatment it all comes back.

exactly. I tried Proactive and it made my skin 10x worse even after almost two months

I used it when I would break out and it definitely didn't make it go away fast like the commercials. It helped slowly, but honestly any face wash probably would have worked just as well.

I did say IF it works as well as it's endorsed... I've always had mild acne and never used proactive, so I'm assuming they exaggerate?

If someone told you a cure for depression was to jump off a bridge, would you do that too?

Proactive is your friend

Just so you know, everyone's skin is different. Not every skin type is "friends" with proactive. Plus, proactive has tons of chemicals that can damage your skin. But your comment was funny!:)

You completely obliterated her comment, then you said it was funny? Are you familiar with the old robot phrase, "Does not compute."

Proactive worked for me then stopped. So proactive isn't my "friend" anymore.

Actually it didn't work for me either, I'm just trying to point out that there are better methods than toothpaste

I didn't know toothpaste had multiple uses!

why toothpaste? how does it exactly help, couldn't you just get proactive?

Toothpaste soaks up all the oil on your face. It acts like a clay mask

Toothpaste is a hell of a lot cheaper than Proactive
