Bella Thorne Snapchatted Zit Popping

If Dr. Pimple popper, plastic surgeries on Snapchat and this creepy cool leg waxing video are any indication, we’re living in a serious TMI era. Singer and actress Bella Thorne has been getting in on the TMI action full-throttle, sharing intimate videos of her microblading and tattoo sessions and even a colonoscopy with her thousands of followers. Her latest installment? An up close and personal look at her pores. Thorne took to Snapchat yet again to share some cringe-worthy extractions and pimple popping during an oxygen and LED light therapy facial at the Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts Clinic in Los Angeles. In true celebs-are-just-like-us fashion, she lamented her blemishes to the camera: "I hate ‘em,” she said. We feel ya.

As much as we love the intimate peek into her life, Bella Thorne also models an important part of a healthy skincare routine in her video. Namely, she’s leaving the pore picking and pimple popping to the pros—advice we should actually be following. “Popping a pimple often makes the problem worse rather than better,” says Sejal Shah, a cosmetic dermatologist in New York City. “When you pop a pimple, you are forcefully pushing the pustule contents—bacteria, oil, debris—out, which can be very damaging to the skin.” According to Shah, this is one of those skin rules that seems over-precautionary but is actually really legit. “The toxins in cyst can spread and lead to more acne, or you can even force the contents deeper into the skin, which leads to more inflammation and potentially a larger pimple,” says Shah. It might seem like a total hassle, but going to the pros when you’re having a pimple issue will save you major skin stress down the road.
