# Toothpaste on pimple.👎 It is a well known hack that is found in internet. But toothpaste on pimples may do more harm than good. Harm no 1) Toothpaste containing triclosan could negatively affect thyroid hormones. So even if you do find a toothpaste that still contains this chemical, using it on pimples may not be worth the risk. Harm no 2) Toothpaste is formulated for your teeth, not the sensitive surface of your face. So, while the strength of the chemicals in your toothpaste might be safe on your pearly whites, they could be too strong for your skin. Harm no 3) “Toothpaste has a basic pH [level] and can irritate healthy skin, which has a naturally acidic pH,” says Shainhouse. Harm no 4) Sodium lauryl sulfate, another ingredient often found in toothpaste, may be too harsh to be used on blemishes. It’s been known to irritate skin on some, depending on your sensitivity. Harm no 5) Even if you manage to avoid irritation, there are other possible bad reactions. For instance, if your skin becomes too dry from using toothpaste, that could cause more acne. Please do extra research before believing anything. Happy reading.😍
