" It&amp;amp;#8217;s my secret shame (well, it was a secret until now anyway). Every dermatologist I&amp;amp;#8217;ve ever had has told me not to. Even I have told myself to stop. But I still do it: I pick at my face. Oh, I know it&amp;amp;#8217;s bad&amp;amp;#8212;squeezing pimples and blackheads can cause scarring. And it&amp;amp;#8217;s really quite gross. It&amp;amp;#8217;s not exactly a personal anecdote that I lead with on first dates (or really on any dates). But when my skin starts acting up, I just can&amp;amp;#8217;t help it. I might go a day or two but I usually cave in eventually. Because let&amp;amp;#8217;s face it: Popping a zit usually makes it look better (for the time being anyway). And I know some of you are doing it, too. So come on, spill it: Do you pick at your face? Any of you break yourself of the habit? Was it just a passing teenage phase for you? Can any of you honestly say you&amp;amp;#8217;ve never picked? Photo: iStockphoto.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
