Touching Your Face Often Can Cause Acne – Myth or Fact?

 

Skin is the largest organ in our body. It stretches all over our body, protecting our insides and safeguarding us against harmful external agents. But while skin protects us, it is important to remember that areas of the skin on our face are thinner than the skin on the rest of our body. That’s why the skin on our face is the most prone to infections and issues in general. Although it is best practice to take care of the skin all over our body, it will be a more realistic expectation if we start with taking care of the skin on our face first and then progress with the rest.
