for me it's all a psychological thing. i haven't picked in over a week because for some reason, this new thing i've been thinking to myself actually keeps me from picking. it's been amazing.. i think to myself whenever i see or feel a bump on my face "it's not worth it. i have to be gentle with my skin" i think the "it's not worth it" part is the key. but gentleness is also key.. i guess it jut makes me think of how i'll look when i'm done. i think of a bleeding face, me trying to heal the picked area with aloe vera gel and hydrogn peroxide.. then the terrible feeling of failure. so that's how i stopped picking. try it, it worked for me. : )
