Medical Offices of Manhattan\u2019s Internist, Dra. Denise Pate<\/a> speaks to Muscle & Fitness<\/a>\u00a0about tips to stop touching your face.<\/em><\/p>\n

She’s quoted saying:<\/p>\n

Avoid touching your face especially when a contagious virus is spreading. Viruses can easily transmit by touching contaminated surfaces followed by your face like eyes, nose, and mouth.<\/p>\n

Face-touching is a habit elicited by most people. During times of this viral outbreak, it is time to alter our behaviors and to minimize that behavior as often as possible Dr. Pate suggests writing notes to yourself or marking down every time you are about to touch your face to help you notice just how much you are doing it.<\/p>\n

Ultimately though, there are really no practical or conventional strategies that you can use to truly limit face-touching.\u00a0 It\u2019s more about the mindfulness of washing your hands. Simply keeping your hands clean will suffice.<\/p>\n

If you wash your hands with soap and water appropriately\u2014a full 20 seconds of thoroughly washing fingers, back of hands, palms, and under fingernails\u2014it\u2019s the best way to keep the virus away and then you can touch your face. The next best would be to lather your hands with sanitizer.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget to clean your phone (which may often touch your face) and other frequently touched areas around you. It’s everyone’s responsibility to remain vigilant in properly maintaining these commonly touched surfaces clean. If not, the unconscious habit of face touching will transmit the virus to yourself and the people you come in contact with.<\/p>\n
