I mean, has anyone ever been so desperado that they actually tried this?

Okay, sure ya did. The old toothpaste on a zit trick works like a charm because it's so drying, just like mud masks are great for those of us with oily skin. Heed this warning though: whitening toothpastes apparently do not get the job done, because they contain too much hydrogen peroxide, according to this article, which handily gives some other educational advice regarding various home remedies outside the beauty scope (can you imagine there's a world out there?!). But now that we're all gathered here in the trust circle, I want to know, what's your poison...I mean, brand?
