Answer 1

The various layers of skin are thinner on the face than on most of the rest of the body. This is why you should use specially-formulated creams (i.e. face cream) there rather than the harsher ones intended for much of the rest of the body. It also means that pimples tend to be based closer to the surface and thus popping them is typically less physically invasive.
