Your hands is filled with harmful bacteria which can harm yourself if you have a fresh cut or something fresh that is prone to get an infection then you should probably keep your hands from your face and make sure it’s clean

Answer:

It is important to not touch your face due to germs particles potentially getting into your mouth, nose, or eyes. For example, lets say you were at the supermarket and you touched a cart that someone who was sick left their germs on. Those germs cannot enter your system unless greeted with an open orifice. If you were to touch your face with your germ infested hand chances are the germs with enter through your mouth nose or eyes and infecting you.
