Out of your go-to acne product? Staying at the boy toy’s pad? I’ve got the fix for Mr. Zit… Unless you’re Rudolph and Clarice; she seems to much favor the bright red dot over the covered up version.

Hate zits. Hate ‘em. Hated them more when I used to stay over at my then-boyfriends house and could feel one trying to claw its way to the surface… “Don’t you know, Mr. Zit, that I do not have any girly products in this dump nor do I have the ability to perform my surgical cleaning-and-treating procedure?” What is a girl to do???

Thank God every man (well, every man I’ve ever known), and every household in the U.S. (I stress United States because I’ve seen those less-than-stellar British chompers) has decent dental hygiene. The answer to Mr. Zit? Toothpaste! Yes, toothpaste. A little dab’ll do ya. The best kind is a non-gel based type in an original, standard formula. The toothpaste has a drying effect and will, at the very least, prevent the zit from getting bigger overnight.
