stop picking my skin (read all 25 entries…)
People, I did it! 3 weeks ago

I hope that this doesn’t jinx it, but I took Kimmy’s advice to just let big pores and zits be. I will squeeze zits, but after that I leave them be. I don’t feel the need to pick at scabs anymore!

I’ll post a picture as soon as I get my camera back!

Now, what shall I buy as a reward?

135 more days and I'm doing great! 3 months ago

In all honesty, I can’t say that I’ve even thought about it a lot. I went from one bad addiction to another…I started cutting again and pick at the scabs. I really don’t mind all that much, because it’s something people can’t see, but I still stopped the cutting. I’ll just pick at the scabs. It seems like that has made my face picking habit become forgotten. Still, I do not recomend it, but the rubber band trick works very well!

I got a new kind of make-up…biotherm light! It is amazing…it just metlts into your skin and makes the unevenness forgotten. The only bad part is that it hasn’t changed the “make-up meltdown” I still look very undone after an 8 hour school day. O, well…pretty soon the scars will be gone and I’ll be semi-comfortable without it.

The chemical peel is wonderful! I may have contributed to the non-picking days as well. Because it just hurts when the stuff comes in contact with open wounds. Also…it REALLY prevents break-outs. all that’s left to heal on my face are the old scabs…no new pimples (knock on wood)!

Good luck to everyone!

And wish me luck for this,

135 more days and I’ll have quit!

Some people have been asking about my CHEMICAL PEEL treatment.

I stil have not stopped picking my skin, but the dermatologist is still doing it. she just leaves out the areas that have been picked very badly. I have to admit that it’s really helped the picking, because some of the acid will always get in the wound and will make it sting. Since I’m not a masochist I have stopped picking. Honestly? I haven’t really even thought about it.

She gave me a prescription for Zynerit which is an acne medication spot treatment. Whenever I want to pick I just put that or a dap of Nivea on. The nivea makes it so smooth that my hands just glide over the area.

She also gave me some Zeniac LP, which is a French facial cream, it has some of the elements that the peeling itself has aswell. I put it on at night and wake up with my skin feeling like a baby’s bum.

The dermatologist DOEs do extractions after the peeling because your skin really opens up. That hurts, but not as much as the peeling. In this case you have to take the word peeling for what it is, they are peeling your skin, layer for layer to get rid of build up cells. It does hurt, but the soothing relief of the mask makes it all better. I believe that it’s worth it. Just had my 2nd treatment last night and I’m feeling great!
