my skin has been getting slowly better, i’ve been getting better at picking slowly aswell. i count how many times i pick a day. on good days the most i pick is 3, on bad days it’s 6-10. but most of the time it’s around 3-5. yesterday i messed up and it was about 10. it sucks, i have such a hard time when i break out. if im not out of the house, it’s really hard for me to not pick. i keep a squishy bracelet on my wrist so anytime i feel like picking i try to reach of that instead, squeeze it and take out my stress on that.
right now my face isnt looking so great. ive got 3 pimples on my chin that i couldnt leave alone so theyre all picked. one on my cheek that i also picked recently, plus all the scarring that is slowly going away. ugh.

oh, also ive realized that feeling like my skin is clean makes me not want to pick. so i usually will exfoliate in the morning and put a clay mask on… after that i dont feel like picking because i dont want to damage the healing process. then at night i usually just use a gentle face wash.
it kind of helps me :)

Ive been doing good the past two days and my skin is clearing up nicely… but today in the morning I already picked 3 times. I’m disapointed in myself and I really hope that’s the last time I pick for today. All I could think was “I need to get this out of my skin”. I need to remember that Im not getting anything out of my skin, just making it worse.
