Persistent skin picking can be triggered by various factors, including stress, anxiety, and subconscious influences, leading to adverse effects on skin health. Dermatologists Dr. Rachel Nazarian and Dr. Michele Farber, in collaboration with psychologist Dr. Sanam Hafeez, suggest effective strategies to break this harmful habit.
Their recommendations encompass a range of activities, including journaling, avoiding the use of magnified mirrors, seeking assistance from both dermatological and mental health professionals, keeping nails short, engaging hands in stress-relief activities such as stress balls, practicing meditation, considering medication or supplements under professional guidance, using face masks, protective acne treatments, and maintaining a consistent skincare routine.
Recognizing and addressing the underlying psychological factors are crucial components of a comprehensive approach to overcoming skin-picking habits.
