#5. Cough

In another article shown by Modern Mechanix, medical tests showed that regular use of Listerine (twice daily) contained coughs and colds by minimizing their severity. In another article, WikiHow also confirmed that gargling mouthwash could prevent infection of the respiratory system.

#4. Blisters

Listerine’s antiseptic properties act to shield the body against blister infection. It is quite simple- just dip a cotton swab into Listerine and rub it over the blistered part. Repeat this process three times a day until the blisters go away.

#3. Great for Acne

LifeCheating actually suggests applying Listerine on the acne area around the skin to dry it out. The site also says there’s a 50/50 chance of succeeding, but why not? Some dermatologists don’t like the idea and generally advice against it. They claim that Listerine makes the skin too dry and scaly, probably risking inflammation. Well, you might need to proceed with moderation on this one.
