CAUSES: WHY ME?

Cleansing - Arrest your Head Resting

Actually many problems can be avoided just by keeping the hands away from face. An area that can be especially affected by this is the jaw line and cheeks. If you tend to rest your head on your hands, or cradle the telephone on your shoulder (which is understandable after a long day at the computer), you are a prime candidate for breakouts there. One way to avoid this is to change your habits.

If you cannot resist the urge to rest, by all means, don’t use your hands directly. I used to use the back of my palm, or a piece of my clothing, because I felt they were less likely to carry dirt or bacteria. While this may be true, they still do carry dirt and bacteria and should be used only as a last resource to this better solution. Have a box of fresh tissue on your desk or wherever you tend to rest your head. When you feel the urge, place a piece of tissue between your head and your hand. This solves 2 important issues. No more hands touching the face AND the tissue will absorb any excess oil that just waiting there to turn into a future problem. Don’t be stingy with your tissue either. The minute it starts to feel old or used - toss it and start with a new one.

And about phone cradling, not only is it bad for your skin, it’s bad for your spine - which is bad for your skin ultimately as well. If you have to do something while you are on the phone - get a speaker phone and use it.
