If there’s one rule in the beauty community, it’s that you don’t touch your face after doing your skincare. The rationale behind this is not just a matter of preserving the effort invested into cleansing, toning, and moisturising – but also a critical preventative measure.
Our hands are a veritable petri dish, teeming with bacteria and oils – they promote the spread of bacteria that may cause a host of undesirable problems like acne, clogged pores, or cysts.
Now for some reason, boyfriends and partners alike don’t seem to understand this rule. So naturally, hundreds of women have taken to social media to express their tremendous disdain for this behaviour.
Here are the funniest ones we could find.
No Touching, Only Seeing
Keep Your Hands To Yourself, But IG We Can Kiss
Modern Problems Require Modern Solutions
A Not-So-Modern Solution
Wait, Some Of You Have Boyfriends?
And, Encore
Someday, hopefully, partners will begin to honour the invisible ‘do not touch’ sign that lingers on freshly cared-for skin. Until then, at least we have these gems to laugh about as the acne spreads.
