I see this time and again.
Pretty girl or pretty boy goes in the jeep, gets some change from their pockets and hands them to the driver. Just after the money left their hands, they start stroking the side of their face. What worries me is these people often have acne troubles or blemished faces.
I can only imagine the countless germs that transferred from those coins to their poor skin that will in turn cause even more blemishes. Sometimes I want to flash the sign: “Hands off your face!”
It may be an unconscious reflex. I used to do that too, I would be too conscious about my pimples so I would either cover up my face with my hands or absentmindedly touch them. Ack! I didn’t realize then I was making them worse because of that habit.
I think the same goes through with using a handkerchief. No matter how many times you turn your hanky over, the dirt, perspiration or whatever you wiped it with is still there. That’s why I’m a big facial tissue user. One wipe and the tissue goes straight to the bin. If it’s difficult for you to keep your hands off your face then keep a hand sanitizer or alcohol handy.
In the same way, remember to keep your hair off your face too. For example, I see some people try to cover the pimples on their forehead with bangs. That may work as a temporary cover up but it may also be a pimple trigger.
When you have skin problems, it’s great to consult a derma or invest in the best acne products. But sometimes, it’s changing little habits like this that can spell the difference between breakouts and blemish free skin.
