Yes, I do, but I have gotten much better at this lately. Some things I do that help:
-Don't look in the mirror, and if you have to, try to look in the mirror in dim lighting and with makeup or powder on.
-Don't touch your face. When you wash your face, only let a wash cloth touch it.
-Get some Nexcare acne patches and put them on big pimples that are ready to pop.
-Paint your nails or cut them really short. I actually have fake nails on right now which is helping me not pick.
-When you feel like picking, try to do something else like some stretches or something.
-Tell yourself that your skin does not deserve to be picked at. Your skin deserves to be treated gently.
-Try to do something else with your hands or wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it when you feel like picking.
-Read books and forums about stopping picking.
-Keep a journal or log of your progress. Making a log on here is a great idea, because it can make you feel accountable.
Great suggestions! Also

- meditation and deep breathing, use a desktop Zen rock garden or a candle flame, look up meditation on YouTube
- wear makeup, you won't want to mess it up
- do anything that keeps your hands busy (games, puzzles, craftmaking, reading)
- drink relaxing herbal teas and drink them mindfully (be present in the moment, use your senses, clear your mind of other thoughts)
