Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey, guys! I'm Ray- nonbinary trans guy, LUSH addict, and huge compulsive skin picker. I'm quite literally a skincare (or...skinharm) addict.My skin is actually pretty naturally clear and even, but I have patches of... not acne, but red, slightly raised spots on my chest, breasts (ugh) and one side of my jaw, as well as the occasional huge pimple (sometimes cystic, yikes.) My skin is naturally dry but I moisturize.My main issue is that my mental illness makes it really difficult for me to handle the process of wound healing. I really don't want advice on how to stop picking- I'm working on that with my therapist. I really just want to know how to lessen the grody and perplexing red bumps, and deal with scabs.Current routine:It's wintertime, so I'm cleansing with Kalamazoo from Lush as it also has moisturizing properties. My skin is naturally quite dry.Spot treat with tea tree oil (diluted), aloe and witch hazel.Moisturize with Imperialis (Lush).Occasionally apply a homemade scrub of honey, coconut oil and sea salt.Use a gentle konjac sponge to exfoliate.None of the above have caused any problems and have generally improved my skin, so I'm mostly concerned with additional measures to treat scabs and these red... not-sure-whats. Post acne lesions? New scars? Not sure. I can describe them further if needed.Hope and fucking pray that I can resist picking my skin to death.If anyone else has dermatillomania, cheers and good luck to you as well.I cannot post pictures at this time, but I might later. :)
