Thar She Blows! A Guide to Popping Pimples

You know you're a parent when you have baby spit up down the back of your shirt and you go to work anyway. You know you're a parent when you spend seven hours in your car and never leave the city limits. You know you're a parent when you've bought poster board in your pajamas at 11pm on a Sunday night. But you really know you are a parent when you are asked, "How do you pop a pimple"

when done properly, popping a pimple can actually be beneficial to the healing process. Reserve this technique only for pimples that are absolutely begging to be popped—all the way at the surface and white. After a shower is best, when the skin is supple.
