Acne and Skin Picking

If you suffer from acne, skin picking is a huge No No!  Touching your face in general is not good, but if especially if you have acne…this will make the problem much worse.  Drinking lots of water, staying away from greasy foods and less stress are good ways to help your skin clear from within, but you need to be aware of how touching and picking increase your chances of additional breakouts and scarring.  Every time you touch your face you are spreading germs.  You could have just touched a phone, a doorknob, or money, then you touch your face.  Yuck.  You get the point.

Now when it comes to picking, I understand that you just want to squeeze or pick your acne away, but you know this doesn’t work and makes the problem worse.  So my challenge to you is to commit to not touching or picking your acne for 2 weeks straight.  After 2 weeks you’ll be surprised how much clearer your skin is, and after 2 weeks of no touching you will have probably kicked the habit for good.  Hope this helps.
