In a recent interview and follow-up social media buzz, Tamannah candidly revealed her unusual remedy. She explains that the trick is to use saliva collected right after waking up, before brushing your teeth or eating anything. According to Tamannah, If you put morning spit on your pimples, it will clear them faster. It has to be the saliva from before you brush! She swears by this homegrown ritual and says it’s an age-old practice in her family.
Here’s a breakdown of Tamannah’s hack:
- Collect a small amount of your own saliva first thing in the morning.
- Dab it only on the affected pimple spots.
- Leave it on for a while before washing your face.
- Do this before brushing your teeth or eating.
Her confidence in this hack has left many fans either eager to try it or entirely sceptical. The internet is now full of reactions, debates, and even a few bold personal trials.

What Does Science Say About Using Morning Saliva for Acne?![]()
The origin for this odd habit is actually very ancient and exists within many folk customs. A few people think morning saliva has more natural antibacterial properties because the mouth hasn't been touched overnight, maybe even being stronger against skin germs. The proponents say it's:
- Chemical-free and totally natural.
- Simple, fast, and doesn't involve any product or cost.
- Maybe filled with enzymes that reduce swelling.
But what do skin specialists and current news sources indicate? The majority of dermatologists are wary about this advice. Human saliva does contain enzymes and some antibacterial compounds, but it also contains oral bacteria that aren't so great for the skin. There isn't strong scientific evidence to demonstrate that morning drool actually treats acne, or does as good a job as tried-and-true over-the-counter acne solutions.
Important considerations before trying:
- Some oral bacteria may actually lead to infections or exacerbate acne.
- Sensitive or damaged skin may be further irritated.
The trick relies on tradition and some historical anecdotal evidence, rather than robust science. It's probably safe on healthy skin in allergy-free and infection-free individuals, but not necessarily effective or side-effect free.
Conclusion
Tamannah Bhatia's morning spit zit hack can be at the top of the charts for "most surprising" beauty hacks of the year. Although it's natural and inexpensive, science doesn't firmly support arguments that morning saliva leads to clear skin.
Nevertheless, her candidness indicates the popularity of homemade remedies and how eager we are all to discover a convenient skincare solution, no matter how bizarre-sounding. If you’re tempted to try it, remember to do so with caution and keep in mind what actually works best for your skin.
