Can you tell me if i could mix baking soda, salt, pimple cleanser, toothpaste and water to make a pimple mask?

No toothpaste: Don't add the toothpaste to the mix because you could have a reaction to the toothpaste. To help reduce your acne, make sure you clean your face 2-3 times with an astringent wash to remove the oils on your face.

Never: If you want the equivalent of a 1st to 2nd degree burn on your face you are free to make up such a mask. You might want to limit your do it yourself projects that can't hurt/scar you like laying tile. Staying with properly tested products is always a better idea.
