A tiny amount of tea tree oil......this stuff does wonders...

I remember that we use to crack open an egg, and peel the thin liner out of it, and stick it on a pimple, and let it dry. It made them dry up and vanish. I did see something like "Zit removal"-some sort of instant overnight thing, at Target the other day, when I was looking at face lotions. I didn't actually look at the package. I just remember thinking, "wow, technology has come a long way."
I read somewhere once that you can put a dab of toothpaste on it overnight and it will shrink up. I don't remember if I've ever tried it before so I can't really tell you if it works though! :)

Tried the toothpaste myself, it works! : ) As I'm laughing hysterically thinking of you smelling all minty fresh!
Isn't toothpaste the "Prison girl's Acne medicine"?!? I swear I have heard that before.
I've heard a lot of supermodels swear by the toothpaste thing.

I have actually done this and it works. Dab a little honey on it before bed.
If you people are sitting there giggling at all the shit I'm gonna try on my face, I swear.....*shakes fist*

I have done toothpaste and think some kinds prob work better than others. I tried the gel once and I don't think it did much of anything but the other time I did the paste and it seemed to help. I have also found steaming my face to help. If you don't have a steamer you could always do a washcloth on the warmer/hotter side (don't burn your skin though, cuz then you'll have a whole other spot(:) and hold on the spot.
Tea tree oil works wonders for just about anything, but toothpaste does work miracles on zits.

I think it is the baking soda in toothpaste that takes care of zits. If you dont want to smell minty fresh, just make a paste of baking soda.
you can't use gel toothpaste. it actually has to be paste. but it works :)
I have heard, just a dab of baby poo on a zit will make it shrivel up. Oh Piper.....?
HEY! I will NOT be putting any homemade hershey kisses on my face thank you. Although, I bet in some African country somewhere, dung has many medicinal uses for real.
*gag*

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth....

So what worked? Or did you end up making the offending zit look like a beauty mark?
I tried the toothpaste, it seemed to dry it up a bit more, but I think I had assaulted it enough that it was too late for much more than some coverup and good cleavage to avert the eyes away from my face. This however, does not work on females.
"You're from Vermillion? I don't recognize you." Said the twitty drunk blonde in my husbands class.
"Oh, we're 6 years apart." I say
"Oh. So are you older?......or younger??" She says.
"OLDER??!@! Are you kidding?!"
Needless to say, she avoided me the rest of the weekend due to the death rays my "OLD" looking face sent her. She wouldn't even come close enough so I could 'accidentally' trip her. Biotch.
Class reunions suck. Even if they aren't your own.

I have a zit and I need it to be way less noticeable by tomorrow night. My husband's 20 year class reunion is this weekend and I have this huge monster right above my upper lip. I know some of these people, so coloring it with an eyebrow pencil to make it look like a beauty mark is NOT an option. (Although, the thought did cross my mind.)
Any good remedies for this sucker?
