Tips on how to stop picking face?

Question

I’m a face picker and I don’t know how to stop! It drives me nuts I start doing it not even realizing it and ruin my face. Once I start I can’t stop it’s a bad urge to feel any bumps or anything and pick it! Then I feel horrible and hate my face so much because it’s all red.

Answer

I’m a face picker too. I find that when I go and get my nails done it’s a lot difficult to pick on my face with acrylics. It’s cheaper to do dip powder at home if you prefer to do that. The reason acrylic or dip powder helps me not to pick on my face that much is because the nails is too thick and it just makes it harder to pick on my face.

This is actually a condition called dermotillomania.  You’d probably benefit from seeing a therapist for it.

Answer

I find that doing something else with my hands helps. Sometimes I knit or do some other little craft or fidget with something when I am watching tv and that helps me keep my hands away.

Answer

Pimple patches. Cover them up and you can't pick them and they look better much quicker so you're not as tempted. It has saved my face. Also, if you have the means see an anesthetist semi regularly for a short period of time. They will encourage you to care for your face and it gives you a time frame to refrain from picking.

Answer

I pick my face too and struggle a lot with it. After you see what you have done it just makes you so mad at yourself. I know that I usually pick my face in mirrors so recognizing that helps a little. So maybe try to identify where you do it and how you feel when you do. Like I know that I also do it when im stressed.
