					<description><![CDATA[<p>I may sound a little preachy but I&#8217;ll risk it: Never, Never, Never pick at your skin. Picking can cause inflammation to spread, can lead to mild and even severe infections and can practically damage your epidermis sometimes to an irreversible degree. You see, squeezing and picking the skin to remove blackheads or whiteheads, when done unprofessionally and without proper hygiene, can cause infection to spread deeper into the skin and may eventually turn into large cysts. There are other proper methods that can help to eliminate blackheads and nourish the skin naturally and safely. So pls, no matter how tempting (I should know, I had many weak moments but luckily I learned to overcome them), leave your skin alone. Let it heal, let it exfoliate, let it renew, rebuild and repair itself. And remember, all of that picking and squeezing that you got used to will only make your acne worse can cause red marks and hyper-pigmentation and scarring as well, the deeper kind.
