I think I might get a few laughs at this, but I was told to put toothpaste on a bad zit and it drys it up. I did try it and it did work. I am not sure if it was because of the tooth paste or just the passage of time. Perhaps the person who suggested it to me thought it would be a funny joke on me to have a minty face?
Please share your best home remedies!

FirstLastName- I've done that a bunch of times! It will dry the zit up, but can cause redness and irritation though. I didn't mention it initially cause I thought it was pretty much common knowledge. I thought everybody did it!

this isn't a remedy so much as a tip. if you get oil based paint on your skin, instead of using a harsh chemical to remove it use baby wipes. it takes longer (not as long as letting it "wear" off) but it is very gentle on your skin.

Really. Do you sweep it on like toner, leave it on and then wash it off or what? Also what would the dilution ratio be?

Rebel8, that ACV is the business for acne and oily skin. It's also great as a hair/scalp clarifier and appetite suppressor.

For those pesky crabs. Pour a shot of vodka on the pubic area. Wait one minute then sprinkle on a pinch of sand. The crabs get drunk and throw rocks at each other. Works like a charm.
