face picking for no reason

[pickyfacebf]

My bf just constantly picks his face, but the strange thing is he has nothing to pick. He doesn't have spots or anyhing just clearskin besides his picking.
He trys to pick his facial hair out b4 it has even broken through the skin. it creates big red marks and inperfections on his face as he uses his fingers.
i try to encourage him to stop or at least use tweezers but he doesn't realise he does it. any suggestions?
might just stick mittens on him aha

i pretty much do the same thing as ur bf. i dont exactly have perfect skin, but i dont really struggle with acne necessarily. my main thing is on my nose- i really have no idea why but every time i'm in front of the mirror i have the urge to get really close and take a look at my pores. well that always leads to picking and a red face.
as for ur bf, i think you should show him this site. he definitely has an obsessive picking problem , like the rest of us he can look back at it whenever he wants to that way. and of course, you should be supportive of him
also, on a personal note, what i do is kind of starting from rock bottom. i pick and then i look at myself in the mirror and see the icky scars or redness that i've created and i feel terrible. then i try to avoid mirrors as much as possible. its hard, but it really is possible. i also look at pictures from when i was little (before acne, etc) and think to myself how nice my skin looked and how i want to have it like that again. finally, because picking does lead to frustration, i tell my mom how upset i feel. she is very supportive and helps me because she says that no matter what i am beautiful. i just think this helps because it makes you feel happy instead of worried/ upset about appearance
