Popping pimples

I am SO guilty of doing this all the time and despite being totally aware of how bad this is for you skin, I just can’t help myself.

Pimples, on the occasional time that I get them, are painful and itchy things on my face. They annoy me to no end, so when I see an opportunity to pop the little bugger, I do without hesitation. I simply cannot let pimples disappear on the own and well… I have a few acne scars around my chin to show for it. A terribly careless bad habit of mine could be easily avoided in two ways. I could decide to stop popping them altogether (something I’m trying very hard to do these days) or learn how to pop them properly.

The Regimen

I was really blessed in life by not having very much acne growing up. Other than high stress times, touching my face too much, or eating too much greasy food, for the most part my hormones didn’t get the best of my face. For that I will always be thankful as many other people I know including family members didn’t get away so lucky.

But whether or not you have good skin doesn’t exclude you from needing to be sure that you take care of it any way you can. I may not have acne but I do suffer from other skin problems such as sun spots, discolouration, rosacea and the slow creeping of fine lines and wrinkles. All these things are important to prevent in order to keep your skin healthy. Because I lack severe damage to my skin or obvious flaws, I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t always take care of it over the years and certainly didn’t put much thought into my skin care. However when I came across this regimen as suggested by a Youtube guru that I watch, I wanted to share it with others who might not know about it.

EXAM TIME

This is official notice that for the month of December, blog posts will not be published on a regular schedule due to both exams and the holiday season. Posts will begin to follow every other day posting beginning in the new year. Still continue to check for updates and I will continue to still write, just not as often.

To fellow students: good luck on finals!
