How do I stop messing with my pimples?

When I get stressed, I pick at my pimples/blackheads. It is something that happens so naturally that I do not even realize I am doing it until after I finish, and my skin hurts from all of the prodding. Please help. I have been doing this for years, and I have a few scars, but I want to stop competely. Does anyone else do this, and do you know what I should do to stop?How do I stop messing with my pimples?
I do it and its absolutely addictive. The only solution I have is don't touch your face! Once you realize your hands are on your face going to your face or anywhere around your face MOVE IT. Soon it will become a habit and you won't have to worry about the picking at all.How do I stop messing with my pimples?
Keep in mind that germs from your hand get transmitted to your face everytime you touch it. If u keep messing with pimples, more might come. Besides, ppl with fair skin; when they pop zits, they look redder and become swollen. Keep that in mind, try popping someone else's zits (j/k) But seriously, sounds like ur taking ur stress out on ur zits, DONT!
I used to. Seriously, I just stopped. I know it's damaging and therefore I just quit.
It's simple- just don't pick them, and I'm sure everyone with pimples do it once in a while.
The same problem. What helped me was not thinking about them. Standing in the mirror and ignoring them, feeling beautiful even though they are there, and now, when I go to irritate them, I draw back. It doesn't feel right. Also, think of the possible scarring you can get. Yikes
Keep your skin freshly cleansed. There are some wonderful products on the market for acne and skin blemishes at your local druggists. By keeping your skin hydrated properly and clean you will most likely not have acne in the future and less likey to pic away at yourself.
tell ur friends to stop u when they see u! if your pimples are that bad ask a dermatologist about roaccutan! best pimple medicine in the world! no more pimples for the rest of your life in only 6 months!
get one of those stress things that you squeeze it'll help!
