What are some ways I can stop touching my face?

Question

I've started getting acne, and it only gets worse since I can't keep my fingers away from my face, touching them won't help but it's a habit that's been really hard to break for me. Any ideas of ways for me to keep hands off?

Answer 1

sit on your hands or tie them up

Answer 2

I touch my face all the time, but usually just to see if its time to shave or not. But the easiest way to stop is the hardest. Train your self to know that you dont want to touch your face. I dont know if it really makes acne worst or not. I guess it makes sense.  

Answer 3

Its easier, if you takle it from a different perspective, think of it along the lines of fingers harbour germs and every time you touch your face your infecting your acne more.

This alone should put you off, you dont want antibiotics off the doctor do you, that happened to me when i was a teenager.

Good luck with it, and worry not it does go no matter how bad it looks and even if it is for a long time.

Answer 4

put a rubber band around your hand and every time to touch your face pop your self. that's what my teacher did for her nails and it worked.

Answer 5

- rest your head on your wrist

- use sanitizer ALL the time

- write something on your hand

so you don't want to get the ink

on your face

haha, i don't know.

i touch my face a TON, too -

i read somewhere that you should

disinfect your cellphone & phone every

day with rubbing alcohol so you don't

break out along where you hold your phone.

that's a really good idea if you break out

along the sides of your face!
