Stop Picking Your Skin!-Therapeutic Skin Coach
I think we can all agree that one of the worst skin habits to have is
picking at one’s skin. Actually, it’s THE worst habit to have. I can live
with a “I forgot to wash my makeup off” every once in awhile or even a “I
use cetaphil to wash my face”, but there is no good reason to pick your
skin. Trust me I’ve heard it all; “It was ready” - How do you know? Are you
a licensed esthetician? “I did it mindlessly” - Perhaps in your sleep but
most scabs indicate to me that it wasn’t just a mindless attack. I’ve
fallen victim to picking at my skin from an early age and since I obviously
made a career out of it, I understand the urge to do it. The truth is that
it comes down to two theories:
A - You actually think you are an esthetician and after watching enough Dr.
Pimple Popper youtube videos so you feel confident you can extract your
skin flawlessly.
Or
B - There is an emotional connection to why you are attacking your face. It
may be anxiety or the need to control something when your life feels out of
sorts however there is an underlying issue that your face doesn’t deserve
to feel the retaliation from.
So what can you do? There are so many ways to transition out of this habit
and I’ve broken it down into 3 simple steps.
