Why you should not squeeze your pimples

Let's face it: we all love to squeeze those dirty pimples. However, the squeezing of pustules can lead to lifelong problems that can be prevented if you are careful about what you eat and what products you apply to your face.

How often did your mother or partner not call you when they caught you on the squeezing of a pimple? And it probably does not matter; you still have a tendency to do it. Pustules are hard to ignore. They are ugly, they hurt, and - if we are honest - we do not know why, but there is something fascinating about squeezing it out.

But is it really that bad to squeeze them out? The answer is yes.

It has been proven that the squeezing of pimples is a bad idea. Even dermatologists warn that it is counterproductive. They point out that it causes many more problems than the unpleasant appearance they have.

Pustules are visible on your skin for a few days, while the consequences of the harsh fighting can be for life.

Are you willing to risk that? If so, we encourage you to continue reading so that you will understand how it really works. First we go a little deeper into what pimples are and why they come to show up. Then we will talk about the main reasons why you should not cut them out.

What are pimples and why do they appear?

We tend to associate pustules with adolescence, but most people have no idea why they appear. As usual, their origins can be found in the body's own system. We get more toxins than the body can handle through food, drinks, air quality or hormonal changes.

One of the warnings that our body gives us is the appearance of pimples.

If it happens often, you may need to consider changing your habits. That way you will not even have pimples to squeeze out! As far as food is concerned, it is recommended that you be careful with and lower your consumption from:

• Saturated fat
• Fried food
• Added sweeteners
• White sugar

This diet is very difficult to digest and the harmful substances are retained in your body. In an attempt to get rid of it, your body turns into pimples.

The same happens with alcoholic and carbonated drinks.

In addition, you also need to be careful with the makeup you use and how often you use it. The cosmetic industry is working to improve their products and to make them better for your skin. However, they have not fully achieved that goal yet and the products that have come close are not easily available to everyone. This is why you should rest your skin at least a few times a week and read carefully which ingredients contain the products you use. It is also good to apply natural remedies to repair and moisturize the skin.

Now let's take a look at the two biggest problems associated with squeezing those pesky pimples.

Why you should not squeeze pustules

1. You can contract an infection

Since you probably have removed more than one pimple in your life, you also know that it leaves a wound afterwards. Normally we do not pay much attention to that (the unpleasant pustule is gone!), But the wound behaves like any other wound. That means you run the risk of an infection.

As a result, you might treat it with antibiotics, which cure the complication, but are bad for your overall health. In other words, the damage has doubled.

2. Your face may be full of scars

Actually, there are even more side effects. Have you ever seen people whose scars are full of their faces? In most cases this is caused by the squeezing of pimples.

Some people have very sensitive skin. When their pimples are squeezed out, it leaves signs that you cannot possibly get rid of. Many try to cover them with make-up, but this way is not recommended, because it can cause even more acne.

Leave those pimples alone

Ultimately it is better to let them disappear automatically.

If, however, they reappear over and over again, you should visit a doctor. Specialists can prescribe special lotions and creams that treat the spot to prevent re-appearing.

Anyway, it is good to wash your face with natural cleaners and to use toners and a humidifier. Prevention is better than cure.

The squeezing of pimples is always tempting, but next time think about what you have read before you take action. Nobody wants a face that is under the scars or antibiotics in his or her blood when this is unnecessary.
