CAN'T TOUCH THIS

So I'm really diggin my new routine but I keep touching my face and picking (though there isn't really anything to pick).

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can stop touching my face. It's become a really bad habit for me and I don't want to get any more dark marks.

MICRODERMABRASION

I was looking for a good way to exfoliate my skin once and a while. I just tried the Mary Kay microdermabrasion last night as part of a sample facial I had. It felt good and the grains were really fine (almost like sand).

I was wondering if any of you have tried microdermabrasion (home kits).

I want to know if it is safe/good to do it in the long run.

Thanks guys!

So I'm sure some of you have seen my posts proclaiming the wonders of The Oil Cleansing Method.

Well after doing that method for a month, my skin started having a reaction to something. It might have been the avocado I tried one night or something else..IDK.

At any rate, I decided to stop the method and try something new. I just bought some Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash and Complex 15 Face Cream. I bought it after seeing a post suggesting to use the two products together.

Having already used Purpose, I am fine with using it again. I don't really remember what made me stop using it. I think it might have been because it was a little drying eventually.

But now I am only washing my face with a cleanser at night instead of morning and night. I think that will be better. In the morning I just wash my face gently with water and moisturize with the Complex 15. It just soaks right into my skin. I like it. The smell is a little funny though.

I think the OCM made my skin a little dry so I think the Complex 15 is going to be good for me. Thankfully, the local CVS store had it.

So yea, this is my log as of now.

Today my skin is doing okay. I have a few pimples on my forehead and some on my cheeks and chin. Nothing major...

A problem I have is picking at my skin. I really need to stop. Sometimes it's an unconscious thing... :/

I know it will only make things worse but...*sigh*

I will try my best to leave my skin alone and with God's help, I know I can break the habit.

oopsie... this isn't the right spot.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR FACE?

It's so easy to look in the mirror at yourself and see all the flaws. But I have seen (and I know) many people who don't have perfect skin but they are still attractive. What I like most about my face is my nose. People also tell me I have a nice smile. Instead of criticizing yourself in the mirror, why not focus on something you LIKE about yourself. What do you like most about your face? (Add pix if you want)
