JOIN THE MOVEMENT: TAKE THE NO-PICKING SKIN PLEDGE

 

Have you ever had a thought enter your head, telling you to say something or do something that you really don't want to do? But deep down inside you know it is probably the one thing you need have to do.

This topic is touchy for me- I have avoided talking about it much on here, but that nagging thought won't leave my dang mind, so here goes:  Today, I am going to pledge to you- my amazing readers, that I am going to STOP PICKING MY SKIN! And I hope that you all will join me in this movement, for the sake of our beautiful future selves. 

I have been a zit picker as long as I can remember- it started young. Some of my best memories with my sister are when we would stand side-by-side, inches from the mirror picking, popping, comparing our results. We laughed a lot during this weird pastime, but little did I know, I was doing long term damage to my skin. Unfortunately, now I deal with my acne scars on a daily basis- oh what I would give to undo what I've done. And I am ashamed to admit- I still continue to pick even now, after years in the beauty industry and knowing the harm that can be caused.

But, today is the day! No more further damage.

Read the pledge, join the movement by signing your name in the comments below- and keep your hands off! Let's do this people.

 -I will stop and think about the long term results of picking before I do it. Scars last forever- a zit lasts a few days.

-I will remember that covering a red bump with makeup is much easier than a bleeding wound or a scab.

-I pledge to refrain from picking or popping blemishes, zits, and dry skin spots.

-I will exercise my self control and just keep my hands off!

Simple but powerful. Writing goals down has always helped me to achieve them- and pledging in public, well that's new to me. But I am hopeful that this post will help you too. Please let me know what your results are after you take the no-picking pledge too.
