Colgate

So I've grown up with Colgate and I absoultely LOVE it! When we first bought our place I tried to cut back on expenses, so I bought some other brand of toothpaste. I won't name it, but it was AWFUL!! So I went back to Colgate! But it does more than clean your teeth and freshen your breath.

Lucky for me I didn't have the teenage acne curse. Don't get me wrong, I had pimples, but I never had a full break out all over my face. I'd have one or two a month and most times I'd only have one at a time. I used different face washes through out high school, Neutrogena, Clearasil, Clean & Clear, etc...but sometimes you get a HUGE pimple on your face! Or worse...right on the tip of your nose, before a dance or something of great teenage importance!

Well my uncle noticed a pimple I had and told me to put some toothpaste on it, but it had to be the white kind. No I don't mean whitening toothpaste, but just the white one. So I did it...AND seriously, my pimple was gone the next day. I still use toothpaste on pimples. In fact what prompted this blog was I had a pimple forming yesterday, so before I went to bed I dabbed a little toothpaste on there and when I woke up the next morning the pimple was dried out!

The toothpaste method works best if you catch your pimple right at the beginning. I try to use the white Colgate, but honestly am having a hard time finding just plain 'ol regular Colgate! Don't rub the tootpaste in, just dab a little on the pimple and let it work it's magic...yes that means you'll go to bed with a small glob of toothpaste on your face somewhere. AND WHATEVER YOU DO...don't apply toothpaste to a popped pimple! My cousin did it and she had a sore on her face for the longest time!! Yuck!!

But other than that last little bit of information...I SWEAR BY the toothpaste method! It works everytime!
