Home Remedies That May Do More Harm Than Good

Toothpaste On Acne Can Result In Marks And Irritation

Due to ingredients like baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, toothpaste has been long considered an effective way to shrink a pimple overnight. While it’s true that these ingredients may help kill the bacteria, it also can dry out the skin.
