Does touching your face really have a dramatic effect on how bad your acne is?

LOL at your face is very gay!


I'm one of those people who can touch anything and not get acne....except for once a damn month!





How old are you? It's common in teens.





I would see a dermatologist.





I was told by a dermatologist that Neutrogena cream (orange tube) is very good.Does touching your face really have a dramatic effect on how bad your acne is?
yes it does. a persons hands and fingers are constantly touching things around us, so our hands get dirty. On top of them being dirty, they also have oils in them. All of that junk gets clogged in your pores. Also, if you have acne that hasn't come to a head yet, don't touch it at all, it only makes it so much worse.


My son uses hand sanitizer on his face every day, and he is absolutely acne free. It works better than the expensive acne products that you find in stores.Does touching your face really have a dramatic effect on how bad your acne is?
Sometimes it can.





In high school my acne was so bad I went on acutane to clear it up- It worked great...then used proactive- it also worked great to keep it away after I went off acutane..





Now I dont really get a lot of break outs- only when it's that time of the month. Plus I use clearasil face was daily.
yes because of dirt, germs and bacteria.





no touchy!!





i guess if you wash your hands first, touch away.





but keep your digits off your face at work or school.





please, i beg you.





i am assuming your face is gay.





if you have a straight face, i can't help you...
Yes, it spreads the sabaceous gland fluids over your face and promotes bacterial growth and irritation, all of which promote further acne.





Oh, and it makes you gay!





WTF?! Why is this on the LGBT board?
yea.. but u can also see a doctor for u acne.. they would prescribe u pills and cream for ur face..oo and if u pop a zit dont let the stuff that comes out of it touch ur face skin becuase it can creat more zits..
Yes, the oils and the dirt from your hands can go on to your face and get into your pores and make everything worse.
speaking as a person with moderate acne. i will tell you that while it does have some effect, it isn't nearly as bad as bad genetics.
Yes.. think about all of the germs and oil that are on your fingers. You just placing this all over your face and adding even more of the things that cause acne to your face.
Yes, it really does. Bacteria and other icky uncleanliness can seep into your pours and clog them.





As to why this is in the Gay section, I'm just totally lost.
Yeah, I think it has to do with oils getting from your hands onto your face and making your pores all clogged up.
Yes because the hands have oil and other junk that help inflame the already oily pores on the face.
I'm not really sure. But if it's true, then that's probably one of the reasons why I have horrible acne....................
probably if you've been washing your hands with grilled cheese and fried chicken.
of course, unless you wash them after every time you touch something
Depends how clean your hands are...
yes dont touch your face alot, ust leave them alone
I agree with Rick 100%





on both issues
don't touch ur face cause the acne will get alot worse
