My poor face...

So I'm not sure what the deal is, but lately I've been picking a LOT. Anything that's pickable. Had a couple of mosquito bites that are now freaking craters and some weird bumpies on my thigh that almost look like heat rash. My head has been flaky and itchy and I'm not sure how it is dry and oily at the same time. Going to color it soon so maybe it will chill the eff out. My face has sady taken the most of my own torture lately and it usually happens without me even realizing. Mindlessly picking at work or in the car, even itching at it in my sleep and waking up to a mess. 

I'm going to try REALLY hard to get it back together. Can't have my face getting all scab-tastic like my nose did. We all know how that turned out and I'm not sure how a facial perforation would look or be fixed.



Sad panda face. It looks decent only because I've felt like crap. Washed and scrubbed with my Clarasonic mia2 and the deep pore cleanser, then did the detoxifying mask. 


I look thrilled here, right? So now that all the wounds are clean but raw, I'm slapping on some bullethole bandaids and hoping they'll chill on the scabbing thing.


 I've treated my many mosquito bites in a similar fashion with success in the past, but with it being my face, I can't just go around with bandaids all over the place. Telling people "it's to keep me from picking" is like asking for ridicule. It's effing hard but I guess I'm working on it. The desire to change is the first step, right?
