Using toothpaste to get rid of pimples works according to some of my friends. It's a myth for me though. I tried it and it didn't work, haha. If you have oily skin, make sure to buy a facial cleanser, toner, and moisturizer that is made for oily skin. There are many different products for oily skin these days. Also carry oil blotter sheets to dab away at excess shine during the day. I hope this helps.
