Picking at spots?

[mellowdrama]

oh i love you!!! i feel the exact same - i'm a popper and squeezer because it's just so satisfying!!! however, i recently had a wake up call when i was getting a facial, and the woman explained to me that everytime i squeeze a spot, it weakens the area of skin below - leaving it prone to getting another one in that area - hence why I always had spots!! so i was really good for a while, ZERO popping, and my skin has really really cleared up. yay!!

I think she just didn't want to be robbed of the joy of squeezing your spots herself. I think most of the aestheticians I know entered the field for the delight they get picking others' skin.
