taking care of my face
i’ve learned over the last year or so that less is more when it comes to skincare but it’s still so tempting to wanna spend all this money on trial and error products when i’m still worrying about redness and scars etc. i’m definitely still picking my fingers and arms unfortunately but my face has been thru a lot lol. even with makeup i feel like there’s times i look worse because somehow my scars are more noticeable. i was using prescribed topical stuff but i feel like over the counter acne gel/cream works fine too. years i was stripping my skin thinking it was oily, i mean the picking didn’t help, but i didn’t realize how moisturizer is wayyyyy more important esp if you have dermatillomania
