Is squeezing your pores bad for your skin?

Squeezing pores can damage the sensitive skin beneath the outer layer of skin. Squeezing pores can also cause infections in your pores. The worst place to squeeze pores is on your upper face . . . infections there can eventually go into the brain and do damage.

Better to use a nice, clean terrycloth handtowel that has just been wrung out of hot water. Place the towel on the problem area(s), and the heat will soften the body oils in your pores so they can be washed out. Your face feels and is healthier as a result.
