Are you a pimple popper?

There's no shame, we have ALL done it!

Here’s some tips to help promote healing and avoid picking and squeezing at your skin. I use these everyday and I can personally say I haven't popped a pimple in a long time. ⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌈Throw out your magnifying mirror, you don’t need to over-analyze each pore
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌈Give yourself 3 skin compliments (i.e. my skin is healing, I love how hydrated my skin looks today, my skin feels smooth and soft today, etc).

🌈If you are an aimless picker (like while you are watching tv or working) use a stress ball or something to keep your hands busy.

🌈Place a piece of tape on the ground to keep your distance from the mirror.

🌈Try a pimple patch.

I know this is such a tough habit to change, BUT your skin will thank you for it.

Take that time you would normally spend in front of the mirror hating and attacking your skin on something more positive. Like an at home yoga practice or meditation, or gua sha, or cupping facial massage. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
