Why is Not Touching Your Face So Hard? 

With a voice it becomes a million times easier to watch

This video is basically telling us to stop touching ourselves

I can touch my face with my alcohol-drenched hands all I want. ... only one problem, *IT BURNS!*

Watching this made my face itch even more

2:47 Why? I'm at home, nobody else lives here and I washed my hands just minutes ago; I'll touch my face as much as I want to :) ... but seriously, this is really hard to follow. When I'm outside, the wind blows my hair into my face, the pollen trigger my hay fever, and my beard doesn't help either. I often touch my face, fully aware that I shouldn't.

Yay!!!! A narrator!!! Extra points for being Dr. Moo

One issue with gloves, if you touch something that does have germs, and touch your face that is the same thing as not wearing gloves at all. You now become a carrier for germs

Ssooooooo much easier to watch without having to read as well

Goodbye, Kyle Hill on BS. See you on.. Kyle Hill.

So much happier to hear a voice! Thank you!

I remember that voice. It's Dr. Moo! :)

Dr. Moooooooo!!! Welcome back!

The music is making me anxious. I'm too used to it going for a second, then stopping as Kyle pops into view.

I think I touched my face 20 times during this video

Dr. Moo? Is that you? Does this mean you'll be taking over the Void? That would actually be pretty awesome. You have a good voice for entertaining presentation. I'd definitely stay subscribed if that's the case.

Telling people to not do something only makes some people to the thing out of spite.

Help! The government told me not to touch my face but, my face is touching my face!

This is 100% truth! Just ask any one of "the few and the proud" about touching your face on Paris Island (and MCRD). Everyone gets caught at least once. Especially when there's sand fleas exploring the inside of your nose. It's mentally excruciating to remain completely still. Reason being that in combat situations itching your nose could mean your life or worse the life of a fellow Marine. Semper Fi!

Isn't it like good for your immune system to touch your face and get in contcact with all sorts of microbes as exposure to these microbes is an essential part of being human? Most of our immune system is comprised of tissue that requires activation by the microbes we’re exposed to. The immune system requires the presence of friendly bacteria to regulate its functions. The vast majority of microbes, 97% to 99%, are benign or beneficial, and they are the best protection to fight pathogenic microorganisms. So behaviours like scratching your face probably also have an evolutionary advantage. In these times it's obviously good to be extra hygienic, but we really shouldn't all become germaphobes.

It it way hetter, also hello Dr. Moo we missed you

This is a science channel telling you not to touch your face with dirty hands...I was subscribed

being aware of touching your face most likely will help a lot. it might help for some like me to brainstorm how and when the next time they can touch their face because the urge can be unstoppable. I would suggest keeping track of what you touched since you last washed your hands before you touch your face.

Dr. Moo! Sad that it took this to get more from you but glad you are here. And I was able to resist. Lol

You can learn not to touch you're face quite easily. I wear makeup every day to school and just got used to not being able to touch myself to not rub of my foundation. Now it's easy. As soon as I have my makeup on I just completely stop

Reads "why is touching your face so hard?" *Touches face*

so refreshing and nice to hear Dr Moo again, now was it REALLY so hard to just get someone to read this stuff off?

People touch their faces for the same reason they have to push a button that they are told not to touch. "Don't tell me what to do. I'll do what I want. You not the boss of me!"

I miss Kyle.

Yeah, having a narrator here definitely helps.

I really only touch my face for hygiene reasons, ever since the shut-in. I'm certain I'd do it much more than usual in social situations.

I wonder, also, if the large number of nerves and high sensitivity of the skin around our eyes, mouth and nose doesn't mean we're more easily triggered by wind, temperature, moisture and microscopic particles to touch our faces? As in, this high density of nerves is stimulated more frequently, and thus we want to brush away the resulting sensation more often on our face than, say, our leg.

-touches face while working in a hospital- honestly i dont care, nobody will escape corona

I was jamming my finger into my eye while I clicked this video... ahhh yeah, right into the brain.

If it weren’t for covid we’d have a new host by now

Certainly Lord Thor is not afraid of the Coronavirus.

You got us a custom to see a host on the shows the show is good but now we are missing a face and a side from that nice episode

I feel like I was conditioned to touch my face when I was younger and had bad acne I was really self conscious about and so would touch my face to cover it, and make it worse, and even though it’s mostly gone now I did that for so long I just don’t even think about it anymore. Okay I also struggle really hard with OCD and one of the initial hardest things for me was my hair. For the longest time I absolutely HAD to have it be 100% perfect! As you can imagine this lead to a lot of touching of the face and hair aswell as being really sensitive to when hair touched my face or the back of my neck. Having to cope with forcing myself not to touch my hair so much for the sake of my health, all be it a different kind of healths sake than today, here are some tips for those with a bit longer of hair. Pulling your hair back or up is generally a really good option for keeping it out of your face and not touching it. Use a little hairspray to keep shorter pieces from getting in your face, and if you have finer straighter hair pro tip- get a rat tail or really fine tooth comb and quickly spray hairspray on the side going towards your hair and quickly bring it through your hair to keep the short pieces down without making it really look of feel like you have hairspray in. On a similar note, anti-frizz products are always your friend!! Now if you’re still having a problem with just how your hair looks, replace your mirrors with words of confidence wherever possible and only put it up in buns, pony tails, or if you have a bit more self control make sure whatever styling you do keeps it behind your shoulders so as not to see it unless looking into a mirror you don’t have so read the words of confidence and just know it’s perfect instead.

My face itches so much right after watching this

This episode made me touch my face. It was like yawns. I did it, Doc. Im sorry 😭

It's finally getting watchable.

Cause you gotta shove food into that thing from time to time. 🤔 *"NUFF SAID"*

Here's an idea train yourself to use the back of your hand to touch your face your knuckles the top of your wrist to scratch your face or yours you shook your shirt collar to scratch your face

Why does subtropical hight pressure belts and subpolar low pressure belts exist when ideally the temperature decreases from equator to poles, so there should be only low pressure belt at the equator and high pressure belts at the poles ??

I miss Kyle....

Staying subscribed to see if Kyle gets back custody.

Finally some voice over

Yay, Dr. Moo!

Can you do a video or videos about Mr wizard (he was a guy on nic. In the 90s that had he's own Science Show) about one or all he's shows and see if they still hold up or not

Everyone who watched this video has touched their face during the video

Great voice.

Me wearing glasses: No duh

1. Part: It's not your hands but the germs on it which spread the disease 2. Part: Why is it so hard to break the habit? Because it's a habit 3. Part: How to prevent: Try to break the habit ... wow

Why is there no video of Dr. Moo? She's the only reason I'm still subscribed to this channel.

Finally, a voice in the void again

cool! I just found out Dr. Moo was narrating facts

Not touching your face is easy, not touching your face because we told you not to is hard.

Because I'm a fidgety person & I just grew a pretty badass goatee?

Not sure I buy this reasoning. This video is saying that touching your face is a developed habit from learned activities like putting on makeup and styling your hair but if that is true we would see markedly less face touching in children and infants because they wouldn't have developed these habit's yet. They also compare the impulse to scratching and itch because relieving the itch gives you a positive feedback loop in your brain, but what is giving your brain a positive feedback for touching your face that would reinforce the desire to touch it more? They didn't present a stimulus for this outcome. The fact that it is so widely prevalent in the near entirety of the human populace would suggest the action would provide some sort of benefit or at the very lease not be detrimental to any noticeable degree. I would say it is more likely people touch there face to remove irritants that are approaching their mucus membranes like rubbing your eyes when you wake up or cry, wiping your nose when you sneeze, or removing dust or dirt from your face. Also it's hard to get around the fact that our face is where our mouth is and you know.... everyone spends a lot of time sticking stuff in there if they expect to live very long. While taking precautions like hand washing is important we need to be careful we don't become too germiphobic because your body needs to have minor scuffles with pathogens in order to keep your immune system healthy and ready to deal with big threats. I mean this is basically how vaccines work but our body does it all the time automatically. If we just cut ourselves off from everything we are going to end up with weak ass immune systems that won't be able to handle even small infections. And you are eventually going to come in contact with some sort of bug no matter how hard you try not to so you need to keep your body in good shape to fend it off.

The part about this that i find the worst is that I don't consider the back of my head as a part of my face

My face is constantly ugly so I need to constantly touch and fix it...

Try to scratch your face on wall. Lol

Chop off your hands and you’ll never have to worry about touching your face ever again!

i wear gloves and if i am at work i avoid touching my mouth, nose and eyes and if my face is itchy i use the back of my wrist, it's not perfect but it's better than others.

Please do an episode on Stark nanotechnology

I'll definitely not touch my face because of the narrator's beautiful voice

Spoilers: Almost no researching and nothing interesting. It's just like reading a blog post written by a 15 years old kid.

I feel like this is just an infographics video now... i miss kyle... luckily he’s got his own channel now and its awesome!

Is this narrated by the because science lady? Idk I haven't seen much of them

i touch my face all the time, but i also wash my hands/sanitize often

Is this the Watchmojo woman ? If not you she sounds amazing :D

Voice somewhat reminds me of Emirichu. And no, I did not do it.

I feel like this woman's voice is the female version of Mark Robert

Because it itches due to dermatitis and stress makes it worse. =[

I won't stop touching my face. I don't use a mirror. I dislike mirrors. I groom myself in all ways via touch. I also, for decades, use a LOT of wipes and sanitizers, so my hands are cleaner than most of you during this episode.

i did it, i touched my face a lot through all the video

This is unacceptable. Where is kyle and why did he leave???

To everyone complaining or remarking about Kyle Hill why the hell are you still here? If you don't like the new format then just leave. Why are you here trying to sabotage this channel? Do you hate Nerdist? Do you hate Dr. Moo? Do you somehow think you're benefiting Kyle by doing so? Grow up and do the mature thing and unsub if you don't like it. Quit trying to ruin things for others.

So how many people touched/scratched their face watching this video? 🤣

Because it's right in front of your face

I mean I just love myself. Bruh

Just not the same without Kyle 😔

I don't really touch... For days...

dont say dont because then its more likly that somebody will do it

I picked my nose like 10 times during this vid

Sacrifice her to the void! For it needs a new host.

I work at a grocery store and I know I'm still always touching my face.

Where the hell is Kyle Hill!?

Ha ha ha ha stayin' subscribed stayin' subscribed...

This alot more easy to watch now. But if this channel is gonna survive you need someone to replace Kyle. IDC who but just find someone to be in videos. Like come on. It's not that hard to find someone who wants to be behind a camera. Heck I would do it!

Much worse with allergies

How do I stop itching!?!?

I've been using the sleeve or shoulder of my shirt to scratch my face if I really need to.

I love your videos nice conted nice

no, I didn't

Yea

Who here knows stuff about amino acid groups made with mRNA on the ribosomes and can help mehow the fuck the cell works xD

DR MOO!!

Imagine complaining and disliking a video. If you hate the channel so much *dont watch it* Whining won't do you any favors. You guys didn't like the channel anyways before Kyle.

where is kyle hill....

Where is Thor? 😒
