[Acne] Cleared my body acne by not picking, is it possible to do the same with the face?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So I'm a 17 year old girl, and I've had moderate acne since I was 12 or 13. Now I'd like to say this was just normal acne, but mine has always been considerably worse than my other teenage friends, who mostly have clear skin by now.My body acne started at 13/14, and it stopped me from wearing any kind of tank top or bathing suit. I really started trying to treat it this year, and assaulted my skin with all kinds of body washes, BP, salicylic acid, etc. I finally gave up and tried one last thing: a sea salt toner, applied once a day and left on over night. Now I'm not sure what cleared me, the sea salt toner or the fact that I didn't touch/pick my skin AT ALL during this period. Prior to this, I'd pick at/pop any clogged pore, blackhead, whitehead, or red bump. Anyway, a month later, I'm left with no acne on my chest, only one small pimple on my shoulder (I'd like to say this is normal, especially at my age), and a few small pimples on my back- nothing that would hinder me from wearing a bathing suit or tank top. I'm extremely happy with these results and haven't been picking at my skin at all. Little to no acne has reformed.So I'm just wondering- is it possible that the same approach could apply to my face? Am I just prolonging (and worsening) my acne by constantly picking and popping? I've recently dropped all my chemical skincare products after developing a rash with hives after using BP, and my new, current routine is:Morning - Apply Thayer's Witch Hazel with Aloe toner with a cotton pad - Apply one Niapad (vitamin B3 pad) - Apply makeupAfternoon - Nothing, but I'll take my makeup off ASAP if I'm not going out againNight - Remove makeup - Shower - Apply Witch Hazel Toner - Apply Niapad, cut one up and leave it on problem areasAfter only a few days of this combined with very minimal touching, I've already seen a decrease in inflammation and a decrease in the amount of new pimples forming.Has not touching your face and eliminating chemicals every worked for anyone when it comes to acne? Does the fact that my body acne went away after not picking mean that if it weren't for my touching, I most likely would have very little acne?
