How to Stop Picking at My Skin: 25 Proven Tips to Help You Stop Picking at Your Skin IMMEDIATELY by Anne C. Mapehrson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was not sure what to expect with this one, and to be completely honest I picked it up on a whim from the Amazon freebie section. I mean, who of us hasn’t popped a pimple or two? Or gotten after a itchy bit of skin hard enough to make it bleed?

Well, this little ebook centers more so around the reasons you’re doing it in the first place, things like perfectionism, bad habits, even OCD and other self-destructive behaviors. I was not expecting that, but I probably should have.

The author does provide 25 tips, some of which include seeing a doctor, not only for your acne (which that could reduce the reason you’re picking in the first place), but to address the behavior itself, especially if it is the result of a mental illness or other condition.

The rest consist of of cognitive behavioral therapy, and tricking yourself into doing something else instead. Otherwise known as “how to break a bad habit”. Which, for the majority of us I’d like to say that all it is.

Again, it does what it says on the box. No complaints here.
