HOW TO POP A PIMPLE

We all have been told that we should refrain from popping them unsightly pimples we occasionally get on the worst part of our faces (i.e. middle of T-zone, smack dab in the middle of the left cheek, or Rudolph-ers at the top of your nose).
But it's actually OK to pop them if of course, they are in the ready-to-be-popped stage (ideally with the white stuff almost ready to come out and be free) and you have CLEAN hands:

1. Take a warm shower or bath to soften your skin.
2. Wash your face and remove all makeup.
3. Wash your hands to prevent spreading germs and infecting the pimple.
4. Sterilize a needle...(a dirty needle will cause an infection and maybe a bigger pimple.
5. Gently prick the tip of the pimple with the needle.
6. Take a clean tissue or piece of toilet paper and wrap it around your index fingers.
7. Gently apply pressure to the sides of the pimple to ease out the pus. Stop when blood or clear fluid comes out.

I suppose it's fine to use your fingers and the tissue to "prick" the pimple, but make sure they are in that ready stage to be popped, since you don't want any long-lasting blemishes that you will regret later...so pop, lock & drop it the right way homies!
