Ill tell you a gross secret. Im a pimple popper. Im not proud of this fact, but its a compulsion that comes over me every time one of those gross whiteheads appears. Im lucky in the fact that I dont get pimples very often and when I do, they dont scar. But that doesnt change the fact that pimple popping can lead to scars and is gross and generally not good for your skin. I recently got this Double-Ended Blemish Extractor from Sephora. It even applies pressure over any whitehead or blackhead to minimize scaring. Also, if you take care of it, its a lot more sterile of a way to pop your pimples then between your fingernails. I dont have a lot of blemish scars so I dont know if this plays a significant role in reducing scarring, but Id say if you have to pop the pimple, this is the way to go. Less scarring and more hygiene? Sounds good to me! $16 at Sephora
