The most widely used acne treatment for quickly improving the acne condition is the use of toothpaste. Many consider this to be a faster and efficient method to reduce acne breakouts. On the other hand it is recommended that fluoride toothpaste is not applied on the acne since it can make the acne worse, causes excessive dryness, inflammation and damage the skin. Usually toothpaste a minute quantity of fluoride should be applied. For effective treatment a small amount of toothpaste can be applied onto the affected areas directly and left overnight. This should be applied regularly and applied for longer periods of time to get better results. Before applying the toothpaste the skin should be washed carefully with a mild soap to remove the dirt on the skin surface and to allow the paste to absorb into the skin layers. This would help the skin pores to be unclogged and reduce the secretion of oil and spread of bacteria that is mostly trapped during acne.
