on one of my recent videos someone wanted to know  uh if it’s okay to put toothpaste on their pimples okay so i decided just to create a video on that  because if there’s more than one person thinking that um they need to get this information first  thing to know is that toothpaste is formulated for your teeth not for your skin there are several  ingredients in toothpaste that are not good for your skin first one is sodium bicarbonate that’s  baking soda the ph is nine it’s very alkaline your skin is acidic it’s five so anytime you start  to neutralize the acid on the on your surface of your skin you’re going to irritate it okay so  baking soda is not good to put on the outside of your body also it’s going to disrupt your  natural flora or your bacteria of your skin next one sodium lauryl sulfate this compound  actually can reduce plaque on your teeth so when you put on your skin it’s going to be  too harsh it’s going to remove the oil layer it’s going to irritate the skin it can actually  even cause a rash that might look like acne next one is triclosan certain studies show  that it may make your bacteria resistant to antibiotics but number four is probably the  most important thing to know the fluoride in your toothpaste could create a condition  called fluoroderma which looks just like acne there’s a real interesting book that i  read and i actually did a video on it i’ll put a link for the book and the video down  below and so if you’re rubbing fluoride on your skin or consuming tap water with fluoride or  taking a shower in water that has fluoride it may worsen your skin this is why i recommend  using a fluoride filter for your shower so if you want nice skin don’t use  toothpaste on your acne instead do these four things right here reduce  your carbs get on a ketogenic diet why because carbs increase insulin which  then increases androgens and too many antigens cause acne as in pcos polycystic ovarian  syndrome also doing fasting intermittent fasting is probably one of the most powerful things you  can do for your skin next one probiotics because if you don’t have enough good bacteria in your gut  it actually can affect the bacteria on the surface of their skin and actually cause not only acne but  all sorts of issues with the skin and last one is to avoid dairy since dairy does have certain  hormones like estrogen and that can throw off your hormonal balance and produce acne as well if  people are estrogen dominant they get cystic acne all right thanks for watching before you  go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to know  how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i  have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the u. s  hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number  down below so you can call and get some help
