Well based on my own advice I try very hard never to touch my face, but when it itches like crazy what can you do?
Enter the shirt sleeve/collar; I figured that so long as it wasn’t skin on skin, it would be fine, but woke up today with a little face monster after rubbing [...]

That’s right.. you also have to fight acne when you’re unconscious, but this is relatively simple.
Sleep on your back! My guess is that because your face isn’t sitting in a pile of hair/skin/oil and who knows what else living on your pillow that your pores are less likely to punish you for their night of [...]

I think the shower/bathroom is where the most immediately visible damage is generally done, so pay attention:

Your fingers are cesspools of bacteria and God knows [...]

Manual Intervention

Notwithstanding the section on Manual Intervention, this will be the grossest post I make. Fiber is important in this battle; doctors will tell you ‘we still don’t know what causes acne’, well I think I do and I think it’s a combination of the things mentioned previously along with a sick colon. The idea is [...]
