Spit on your pimple, says Tamannaah

In a recent interview, Tamannaah was asked about her hack to fix pimples. “Spit, thook,” she said. The host laughed, but Tamannaah stood by her unusual tip.

It works or it doesn't?

Well, let's find out what the science says about this bizarre claim!

It can heal acne?

Some believe morning saliva has antibacterial properties that may heal acne.

Science does not back it

Science, however, hasn’t proven it works on acne-causing bacteria.

Can worsen skin

Dermatologists warn saliva also contains other bacteria that can worsen skin.

Does not address the root cause

It doesn’t address the root causes of acne like oil, clogged pores, or hormones.

It can irritate the skin

The hack might irritate skin rather than help it.

Listen to the Dermat!

Better stick to dermatologist-approved treatments instead of spit.
