HYGIENE MYTH #2: PIMPLES

Watch this 30-second video on why you shouldn’t pick at the skin.

Picking a pimple makes it heal faster → quite the opposite! 

Picking opens the pore.

The white stuff that comes out is made of white blood cells.

  • Picking creates a hole on the skin.
  • Bacteria get into the pore + multiply.
  • The pimple gets infected.
  • Surrounding skin gets red + swollen.

If you have an extra 4 minutes, watch this video from ASAP Science to learn if there is a pimple cure.
