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.

Rubbing alcohol rocks in my opinion. Never tried the toothpaste.

Tried toothpaste before and never worked for me. I've heard it's mostly BS.

you had a zit?! :'( *sarcasm you'll live. zits are only a problem if you have confidence issues..... or a shitload of zits. most people get zits every now and then, and they don't make a huge deal out of them publicly or privately.... not an FML

My cousin is a model for Abercrombie, but when she gets stressed out she wakes up with tons of pimples like maybe 15-20 all spread out on her face AND that many on her upper back, so you can see them easily on shirts with low backs. This happens overnight too. All they told her to do is drink 8 glasses of water that day with healthy food and try to stay in the sunlight. After she puts on the on-the-spot zit cream on them she looks like she has perfect skin! So try that next time OP, it helps a lot!

I doubt it. If she's a model worrying about acne, they probably airbrush it or edit it out before printing whatever shoots she does. Sad how companies like that promote negative body images.

#31, I'm guessing you've never had a pimple?
