Don’t touch your face, find something else to pick/fidget with. Wear pimple patches if you need to, just remember to let your skin breathe from time to time

The only thing that has successfully stopped me from skin picking is getting this tool and trimming my cuticles obsessively (you have 10 fingers, each one can take minutes, and they grow back within a couple days). If I run out of cuticles, I pluck the hairs on my face and that usually does the trick. Are there certain environments where it’s worse than others? I find myself still doing it on boring drives

I’m actually working on the same thing in the gym, we are pretty similar lol. I have successfully started doing some strength training by going into the studio room where they have weights and I can be by myself. I find my main issue is fearing looking stupid or like idk how to use equipment, so my plan once I feel like I’ve maxxed out my ability to gain from those weights is to go really early in the morning so I can look like an idiot without an audience

Find a different habit than smoking. I used to smoke mainly bc i felt bored and thought about stuff too much but gaming has helped a lot! Find a game you are interested in. Recommendations: tomadachi life, sims 4, marvel rivals, fortnite, minecraft. I guess it depends on if you are creative or not!
