- [Stacey] Do you think I can not touch my face
for two weeks?
- You will touch your face in 15 minutes.
(upbeat music)
(kisses)
- So, Ivan.
- Yes.
- I am doing this video where
I'm not trying to touch my face for two weeks.
- Okay.
- But I wanted to know, like...
- Ahh!
Don't do that!
No, your...
- That's even worse.
- Your fingers are dirty.
(dramatic music)
Why do you touch your face so much
that you have to do this video?
(laughs)
- Well I touch my face all the time because I have, like,
you can see, I have like little scabs and stuff here.
- Oh, so you pick your, like.
- I, like, pick at my acne.
- Oh.
(upbeat music)
- Woo, that's a long time.
- Yeah, it is.
Do you think I can do it?
- I don't know.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
- How's way?
- I don't think you're gonna be able
to do that because you just do it without thinking.
- How many times a day do you see me touching my face?
- A lot.
Yeah, whatever scabs you have,
if you have a pimple and it scabs up,
you're always picking at it.
- Mmm.
Like, when do I usually touch my face?
- Whenever you're nervous.
(upbeat music)
- It's the morning of the challenge.
And it hasn't started, and I've already failed
because I've already touched my face.
Right here, this red one.
I squeezed it.
It is now an hour into this challenge,
and I've already slightly failed
because I itched my nose, and it was itchy.
I had no choice.
And I'm touching my face again.
Great.
Yeah, I have like very chapped lips.
And I tend to pick at that dead skin as well.
Which is also another habit I wanna break.
Tomorrow I'm gonna have a meeting,
and it's gonna be a long meeting,
so we'll see if my boredom will get the best of me.
Or if I can stay engaged and actually pay attention.
So, I'm just getting to work.
I have no makeup on.
It's gonna be an interesting day.
It's gonna be good, and it's gonna be bad.
(upbeat music)
I just got out of my long-ass meeting.
It was all day, and I realized that when I'm bored,
I touch my face more.
So I had to find new ways of entertaining my boredom.
And what happened was, I started picking at my thumb.
And, you can see, it's like kind of bloody
and bleeding and everything.
I'm trying to think of a new strategy
so when I rest my hand on my face,
I'm not having full palm on my face.
Maybe fist?
So, I just caught myself picking at my lip.
It's all dry, but I really just wanna rip off
all that dry skin.
So maybe I do have a picking, peeling fetish?
When I was little and insecure
and had a lot of acne issues on my skin,
and so I would just keep picking at it
because I was nervous or anxious about something.
Or just generally bored and just wanted to
get all these flaws off my face.
And as I grew up, it just translated
to my adult life.
Look at my struggle.
I'm gonna do this strategy here.
Watch this.
And it's gone.
This is around the time when I wake up
and I'm trying to get all my eye poops out of my eyes.
And then I look into the mirror,
and I kind of like inspect my face.
But I'm not gonna do that today.
So after doing all of my foundation,
and then halfway doing my eyeliner,
as you can see.
Can you see it?
I realized I was touching my face as I was doing it.
So I'm gonna try and do my eyeliner
without touching my face.
(electronic music)
It's okay.
(upbeat music)
I was just unconsciously catching myself
scratching this little devil pimple here.
And it's definitely a little swelled up now.
And a little bit angry at me.
The whole self-control and willpower
has really grown in me this last week and a half.
For me to not touch my face is huge.
It's monumental.
You can ask any of my family members.
You can ask any of my friends.
Man, that is tough for me.
I'm kind of getting tired of
not being able to touch my face
for things that I need to touch my face for.
And that was Yasmine.
It is Pi Day today, and the lunch is pizza.
So, I put my hair up so I will eliminate
the factor of hair in my face
and touching my face with greasy pizza hands.
- See, I have coverage because I do get zits and stuff
sometimes, but it's hidden under the beard.
- [Stacey] Ooo.
- So as long as I don't go up here, I'm okay.
- So, here is an updated tally
of all the days
so far and how much I've touched my face.
- We are Stacey's desk mates,
and we have been tasked with trying to
get her to touch her face.
Or at least just annoy her, which is something
we're used to doing on a daily basis.
(laughs)
(gasp)
Oh god, what is happening?
(upbeat music)
- Oh no.
(group laughs)
- This is sabotage.
- It is sabotage.
- Oh no, this is so...
- Stacey, does your face itch?
- It itches so much.
Oh!
Oh, I wanna...
(group laughs)
- [Mia] Stacey can't, no, Stacey, that counts.
You can't roll your face on your desk.
(Stacey laughs)
- I was just sabotaged by my desk mates.
- Don't think that I'm gonna stop
tickling your face after you're done with this video.
- No!
(upbeat music)
- I'm walkin' my dog right now.
So I didn't vlog much today because
I didn't touch my face that much.
Now we're watching "Coco".
(kisses)
(ding)
- [Ron] No more, no more, no more.
(Ron laughs)
(Stacey sniffs)
- It is the last day of this challenge.
- How do you feel? - I think...
- How do you feel?
- I feel good.
I feel like...
- Have you noticed any difference?
- I've noticed that I haven't broken out.
- Nice.
- In a long time.
And whenever I touch my face now, it feels weird
to touch my face because I haven't touched it in so long.
- So, like, you created like a habit of not touching it.
- Of not, yeah. - So that's good.
- I, essentially, broke my bad habit.
It's the end of the two weeks of not touching my face.
And, man, was it hard.
I didn't realize how many times
I subconsciously touched my face.
Not touching my face for two weeks definitely
made a huge difference.
I noticed that my skin was glowier.
I don't know if that's a word.
I forgot what my face felt like.
And then when I touched it,
it was so much softer than before.
I didn't have any new pimples or blackheads emerge
because I wasn't touching my face.
I don't want to have to deal with pimples anymore.
So, this is gonna be my attempt of just
having clear skin for the rest of my life.
