How to pop a pimple yourself, according to Dr. Pimple Popper’s tips Insider producer Celia Skvaril video chatted with Dr. Sanda Lee, aka Dr. Pimple Popper, to get her professional advice on how to pop a pimple at home. While Lee doesn’t recommend that people pop their own pimples, pimple popping is a habit that many struggle to quit. With much of the world staying at home, people aren’t seeing their dermatologists and estheticians regularly and may be fighting a higher-than-usual urge to pick at their skin. Lee offered her tips on how to best minimize the risk of scarring and further infection when popping your own pimples, like attempting to pop only superficial whiteheads and properly sterilizing the pimple and tools both before and after popping. Following Lee’s tips, Celia attempted to pop her own whitehead at home. For more from Dr. Pimple Popper, visit: https://slmdskincare.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drpimplepopper/

Good morning Tampa Bay! Happy hump-day!

Could today be the day? 💸
The House could vote on the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package, which includes a third round of stimulus checks today.
Democrats and President Biden want to have the COVID-19 relief plan approved by Sunday, March 14. That’s when extra unemployment assistance and other pandemic aid expires. As things stand on now, it appears Democrats should make that March 14 deadline.
If the IRS is able to keep with previous timelines, Americans could start receiving stimulus checks from late March to early April. For example, if the stimulus package is signed into law by March 14, based on previous relief plans, the first direct deposits could go out the week of March 22.

Honoring a hero 🙏
Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan delivered an emotional message Tuesday when he said one of his officers veered into a wrong-way driver on I-275.
The crash killed both Officer Jesse Madsen and the other driver, 25-year-old Joshua Montague of Colorado.
Dugan said Officer Madsen died trying to protect others. Officer Madsen is the 32nd Tampa Police Officer to die in the line of duty and the third Tampa Bay area law enforcement officer to die in a line of duty crash this year.
He leaves behind a wife and three kids.
If you want to help Officer Madsen’s family, a donation fund has been set up by Rise Tampa. Find out how to donate here.
