Circulating a notice of criticism: You are engaging in a bad habit that is ruining your face!

Assault question: At this moment, one hand is looking at your phone, where is the other hand placed?

Blindly guessing, many people are picking at pimples on their faces, small bumps on their scalp, touching oily nose tips, tearing dead skin off their lips, or simply leaning/supporting their chin... Anyway, it's all on their face.

You might say, 'Hey, I just touched this.'. Really? (I don't believe it)

Touching and picking one's face seems to have a kind of magic, but I didn't actually perceive it. When I realized it, my hand was already on my face. The behavior of repeatedly touching and scratching the face, which exacerbates facial decay, has been happening. Humans all over the world are touching their faces, and you have touched many of them too

A study has found that on average, each person touches their eyes, nose, and lips 15.7 times per hour. On average, I touch my face every four minutes.

Why do humans persist in picking and touching their faces? When the face feels uncomfortable, the skin itches, or there is a feeling of foreign objects, it is our instinct to use our hands to 'adjust' the discomfort. For example, acne, dry skin, discomfort in the eyes, wanting to clean the nostrils, or having fluff or other things falling on the face are all factors that can trigger scratching, touching, or even scratching.

Comfortable may be quite comfortable, but for the skin, if you keep scratching around every hour, it could be a disaster... Your poor skin condition cannot be ignored

Perhaps some friends want to refute, 'I've been touching for decades and haven't seen me disfigured?' Yes, as the largest organ in the human body, the most important function of the skin is to provide defense. If you can easily 'explode' by touching it, that's okay!

But the defense function of the skin is not always perfect. Occasional eczema, acne, allergies, inflammation... can break the protection, repeatedly picking, touching, scratching, squeezing, and may take the opportunity to make your face worse. When the skin condition is poor, the barrier function in some areas is reduced, leading to conditions such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Unintentionally picking and touching, bacteria on the fingers (most of which are originally harmless skin surface bacteria, but may also be contaminated with pathogenic bacteria) may cross the skin defense line and cause infection.

Moreover, 'picking' itself is a physical stimulus, and if you accidentally 'squeeze' it, it may expand the already small-scale inflammation. The more severe the inflammation, the more it causes itching, pain, and discomfort, making it easier for us to resist the urge to touch, scratch, and scratch, and then stimulate abnormal areas such as acne... From then on, a vicious cycle repeats itself.

Think back, is the area where you most often pick up pimples and skin? Is it difficult to heal repeatedly through "picking scabbing picking"? Even left acne scars and scars?

Friends with normal skin condition, please put your hands down! The fragile and sensitive mucous membranes of your eyes, lips, nose, and other parts cannot withstand the test. You should know that when you touch your hands every day and wash them perfunctorily, who knows what you have on your hands. Many infectious diseases are transmitted through methods such as "fecal oral" and "contact", all of which require the help of hands. For example, conjunctivitis, also known as red eye disease, can be transmitted by rubbing the eyes with pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, chlamydia, etc.

If possible, don't touch this face.

How to quit touching your face? The gesture of touching the face involves two participants: hands and face (not nonsense).

There are two solutions: control your hands and protect your face.

Controlling your hands means finding something to do for them, such as writing words carefully, moving bricks, spinning pens, and making strings... If you can't do it, just don't be idle. But it's really... difficult to completely control this hand.

Washing hands frequently and conscientiously in daily life can also reduce the adverse consequences of face picking and touching to a certain extent. If it's really, really, really, holding back from touching your face and feeling uncomfortable all over, with nowhere to place your hands, then there's another way to try: using a tissue or cotton swab

Protecting your face is relatively easier to execute. Simply put, it means adding a protective cover to the areas of the face where there are problems. When acne occurs on the face, use drugs to cover the acne, such as the commonly used fusidic acid cream, clindamycin phosphate gel, and even the salicylic acid gel in cosmetics that can help to improve mild acne, can be applied locally and covered for a long time.

When one accidentally touches a pimple, these "substances" can to some extent block the stimulus source, and invisibly tell the brain and hands not to come again.
