Why Are We Driven To Pop Pimples (Even When We Know We Shouldn't)

I've done it plenty of times; you probably have too.  Even though we've been told by countless skin experts, dermatologists, and our mother, not to pop pimples, we've all given in to the temptation.

Plus, I've got some tips for damage control after we've popped. 

Until next week,
Angela
