Dabbing some toothpaste on that annoying zit like you did in high school is tempting, but it’s also a waste a time. What’s more, it can actually irritate your skin, as most toothpastes contain menthol, which can dry skin out.
For a better at-home zit remedy, you might want to try either ‘Milk of Magnesia’ or ‘Pepto-Bismol’ as a spot treatment.
