How can I stop picking at my pimples?

A little over a year ago I started picking my acne. Now I can't stop! I've tried just going cold turkey but I just got sucked back into it. It's becoming a serious problem and I'm getting acne because of it. I wanted to know if there is any tips or strategies that you would recommend to stop this horrible habit.How can I stop picking at my pimples?
I had the same problem for several year [three or four]. And it left me w/ dark scars all over my face, back, and upper arms. But now, thank goodness, most of the scars are gone or faded. You can't really tell I was scarred really badly. I started to take care of my skin and my acne died down since my hormones weren't as crazy anymore. I know it's hard not to pick, but just try your hardest to not touch your face or anywhere else where you may have zits.





I've been using St. Ive's Blemish and Blackhead Scrub and Cleanser. And for body acne I use Neutrogena Body Clear Scrub, and I use a loofah to buff it into my pores.





Good luck.How can I stop picking at my pimples?

You need to be on good regiment. Start washing your face twice a day AM,PM. Look for cleanser that have glycolic acid and lactic acid they are going to control your break outs. Also exfoliate 2-3 times a week,but do not scrape to hard(and do not bay St.Ives scrub is horrible for your skin) ,because that my spread the bacteria out. Use oil free and water base moisturizer AM, and PM. + spot treatment cream just on your break outs. The spot treatment should have 5% Benzoyl Peroxided that is going to kil the bactria.Use that at night only! If you are using make up,clean your brushes at list 2 times a month.And remember piking will make it worse!!!
