Pop Your Pimples
"Whenever you feel tempted to pop a pimple, control the urge. 'Picking will make the acne worse and lead to permanent scarring,' Stein says. 'Better to leave it alone.'Instead of popping pimples, try an over-the-counter pimple remedy containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. If that doesn't clear up your breakouts, call your dermatologist. If you use a magnifying mirror, give it to your worst enemy."
