Meaning

Hi friends,
What is the meaning of "zit-picking" in the following text?

“Along with the other volunteers, Stan was subjected to the introductory classes, presented by a half-dozen young, earnest, dark-suited, zit-picking graduates of some globally funded think tank’s motivational-speaking program.”

Thanks
