funny would you rathers

We’ve all heard of some pretty off the wall products when it comes to acne treatment…like toothpaste for example. But here’s something you probably haven’t thought about using and thats
Vicks VapoRub.
There are lots of health forums stating that’s vicks vapour rub actually works
It must be noted though that Vicks certainly don’t market their product as an acne treatment
The only testament you need regarding the effectiveness of VapoRub is that it’s still around 122 years after it was first formulated for being a decongestant, cough suppressant, joint pain reliever. It does work very well for all of the complaints listed above, as well as being a great acne treatment.
While many of these treatments such as the myriad of creams, Clearasil, Neutrogena Proactiv worked for a short duration of time (or for milder cases of acne), none of them completely wiped away the boss of all pimples – cystic acne.

Vicks VapoRub can work wonders on the bigger, more irritating blemishes and even scars. And for anyone who has dealt with even a single cystic pimple, you know how large, painful and embarrassing they can be. And on top of that? They usually last for weeks.
After just two days of applying Vicks VapoRub can make a massive difference.
The magic ingredients

The active ingredients are simple and old-fashioned, as you’d expect. They include the following oils, which are all listed as cough suppressants and/or topical analgesics (for pain relief).

Camphor
Eucalyptus Oil
Menthol
Also included is petroleum jelly, to bind it all together. You’d think this stuff would block pores, but it doesn’t – the long chain molecules which make it so sticky mean the Vicks doesn’t enter your pores, it just sits like a protective layer on top.

The other, inactive ingredients (which still play their part in calming acne) are cedarleaf oil, nutmeg oil, thymol and turpentine oil (?!).

On their own, each of these ingredients are antibacterial and can be soothing to the skin. But here’s the beauty of Vicks Vaporub – for treating acne, the sum of these essential oils is greater than any of them individually.

What I mean by this is that combined together in Vicks, they work incredibly well for killing acne, soothing inflammation + reducing redness
In many cases vicks vaporub can work miracles, just apply it on acne before going to bed and when you wake up, acne is gone
How to apply Vicks vaporub on acne

1. All you need is Vicks VapoRub and cotton
2. Dip the cotton into the jar and scoop out a tiny amount (just enough to cover the affected area)
3. Smear the ointment over the area (treat it as you would a topical acne medication)
 By the way, don’t get it anywhere near your eyes, up your nose, in your ears or down your throat, otherwise much pain and suffering will result.

But be careful when and how long you plan to apply Vicks because there are couple of ingredients in it that can be potentially dangerous if consumed or used for an extended period of time. Those ingredients are cedarleaf oil and nutmeg oil. Although both aid in aromatherapy, both are still classified as poisonous and have been linked to various side effects such as hallucinations, abdominal pain and seizures.

Toothpaste can be used as an emergency pimple treatment to dry out pimples and reduce their healing time. However, toothpaste can be quite irritating on the skin, so it is important that you use this treatment sparingly, using the correct technique. The main ingredient that can irritate skin is sodium lauryl sulfate.
Choosing Toothpaste
Go for white-colored toothpaste. When choosing a toothpaste for acne treatment, go for an all-white version, not a toothpaste with red, blue or green stripes. This is because the ingredients which help to dry out pimples - such as baking soda, hazel, hydrogen peroxide and triclosan - are contained in the white part of the toothpaste, while the colored sections may contain ingredients which will irritate the skin
Avoid teeth-whitening toothpastes. Whitening toothpastes contain bleaching agents (for making teeth whiter) which may actually bleach or burn the skin, causing patchiness.
Steer clear of gel toothpastes. Gel-type toothpastes have a different formulation than actual "paste" toothpastes, and so may be lacking the active ingredients necessary to effectively dry out pimples. Avoid using, as it will not do your skin any good.
Choose a toothpaste with a lower fluoride content. Fluoride is added to over 95% of toothpastes in the U.S. as it helps to remove dental plaque and prevent gum disease. However, many people actually suffer from a mild topical allergy to fluoride, and it may cause a skin rash if it comes in contact with the skin.
Go organic. Organic toothpastes are probably your best option when it comes to treating pimples. They contain no fluoride (unless it's naturally derived) and no nasty growth hormones, pesticides or other chemicals. On the other hand, they still contain the ingredients necessary for drying out pimples - such as baking soda and tea tree oil - with the addition of natural soothing and anti-bacterial substances like aloe, myrrh and eucalyptus oil.
How to apply toothpaste on acne
Wash your face well with warm water and your favorite cleanser, then pat dry to lock in moisture.
Squeeze a little toothpaste onto your index finger or the back of your hand. A pea-sized amount should be enough, depending on the number of pimples you're treating.
Apply a small amount of toothpaste directly onto the pimple. You will only need to apply a very small amount of toothpaste to the pimple for the treatment to be effective. Just make sure that you apply the toothpaste directly onto the pimple itself, not on the surrounding skin.
Toothpaste should never be spread all over the skin or used as a face mask.
Leave the toothpaste to dry on the skin anywhere from two hours or overnight, for best results. However, if you have extremely sensitive skin, it may be best to remove the toothpaste after 15 minutes to half an hour. Its really a case of trial and error to see how sensitive your skin is.
I would not put a band aid or plaster over the spot because it culd spread the toothpaste and it won’t be able to breathe.
You can then gently wash the toothpaste off with a cloth or towel.
Repeat no more than four times a week because you don’t want to irritate the skin. After that you should see an improvement to the zit.
Last word of caution
Be aware that toothpaste is not a dermatologist-approved acne treatment, although its a popular home remedy that's been around for years
Regular toothpaste also contains none of the anti-bacterial ingredients that make over-the-counter creams more effective in treating and preventing pimples.
For this reason, toothpaste should only be used as an emergency treatment for pimples
STOP USING IT IF YOU GET A BAD REACTION!
