Gloves and toothpaste

[meindc]

I haven't stopped yet...but here's a couple tips that have helped reduce my picking....

I wear gloves around the house. Keeps me from starting to pick unconsciously when I'm just sitting around watching TV.

Also, try putting toothpaste on problem areas. When your hand reaches to pick your skin - it will feel something sticky and remind you not to pick. It's hard to pick through it too. And toothpaste for some reason has actually helped clear some zits.

I've also found out that toothpaste works. I put it on a zit before I go to sleep, and next morning it is less red.

I've heard of movie stars using the toothpaste trick on zits overnight. Probably the flouride or something dries out the blemish. Who knows? ;D
