stop picking my face

13 days since my last entry & my skin was looking flawless. But now, as with evey month, with period comes breakout. This will be the test. All I have to do is not touch my face for the next few days and the zits will go away; but if I pick them then they will stay.

I got my nails done yesterday & they look super sexy- but the best part is that I cant pick my face (which is driving me CRRRAAAZZZY!!) But no worries- I know soon I’ll just stop trying & leave my face alone. That is until the next time I decide to wear my natural nails- then begin picking my face again- only to then realize the reason I started wearing false nails to begin with.

I didn’t touch my face at all today! Well once- But I couldn’t help it! That damn tiny blemish was asking for it! But no worries-it’s the weekend & most of the self inflicted damage I incurred over the past 2 weeks has healed.

I can’t believe I’m admitting to picking my face; this is such a disgusting habit that i’ve had since I hit puberty. luckily as I’ve aged my skin has cleared up. But still, I hate the feeling of a bump or zit on my face- so I pick at it- initially thinking I’m doing good- but 98% of the time it only makes things worse (red, inflamed, bloody, crusty [bleeeck!!]) Plus I have really dark skin which is more prone to scars & long lasting /permanent discoloration. sometimes I don’t even realize I’m doing it.
However, I discovered that when I wear false nails I am prevented from picking my face. I was doing good for months- until I stopped going to the salon- so it looks like I now have a valid justification for why I need to go to the salon on a regular basis.
