Don't pop pimples. I know it's tempting, but DON’T DO IT! Popping pimples can push infected material (pus) further into the skin, leading to pain, more swelling and redness, and even scarring. If you notice a pimple, let it be. Besides, unless you have chronic acne, you know it won’t be there forever. Grab an acne spot treatment, dab it on, and keep on stepping. You know you’re beautiful. Drink plenty of water, ladies. Drinking 64 ounces of water daily is essential for healthy skin because it flushes out toxins. Getting your eight glasses in is a must! Remember that fruits and veggies count as part of your daily water intake, so stock up on them.
