If you’re looking for a sign to stop picking your skin, let this be it

I complained about my acne for a long time… but quite literally about 2-3 days after I kept my hands off my face it cleared. I scoured the corners of Reddit looking for a post like this so hopefully this can help someone else. There is 4 weeks between these photos.

My current routine -

AM:

Micellar water cleanse

Avene Hydrance Boost

Olay whip moisturiser

Mecca Cosmetica To Save Face Sunscreen

PM:

Alternate between: Cerave SA Face Wash / Bioderma Sensibo Gel

Finacea (to try and tackle some scarring around the perioral area)

Avene Hydrance boost

Avene Ciclafate

I mostly pick large pores or small skin-colored bumps on my skin, which then get irritated and turn into pimples. If I can keep my hands away from my face, my skin usually clears up.

Honestly, I don’t even know something just clicked in my brain one day :confounded: the first 2-3 days were the hardest but it helps to know your “triggers” ie. mine was always at the end of the day before bed

I needed a sign. :joy: Thank you! By the way, your skin is gorgeous! :sparkles:

Ugh I’m trying it’s so hard to stop

Thanks for the reminder. I had fake nails on for two weeks and wasn’t able to pick and surprise surprise my skin cleared up a lot. Now I have to stick with it!!

I’ve heard this! Also getting dip nails/SNS because it makes the nail bed thicker. Stick to it! :muscle:

needed this today! :heart_eyes:

Wow! THIS SIGN IS FOR ME! What do you mean by micellar water cleanse in the morning? The makeup remover or in the other version I’m not aware of?
