[Selfie] I never thought of myself as someone with good skin

Beauty Tips For Body Care
All my life I've been a "picker". My mom always scolded me as a child for it, my legs are covered in little circular scars from picking at my mosquito bites from when I didn't listen. Every single photo I saw of myself, there was a sore on my face. Whether it was below my eye; on my forehead, the middle of my cheek, on my chin- I always found an imperfection to pick at. Then I found this sub. I switched to a much simpler routine, and also found help at the compulsive skin picking subreddit. I have bipolar disorder, so it's not surprising to me to find out my skin picking was actually a mental issue that other people suffered from too. My last picking purge was a little over a month ago, and here I am today. I feel comfortable without makeup, and I'm not worried about someone staring at the giant scab I made on my cheek (or wherever). The wake up call was when someone told me who hadn't see me since high school said they noticed some scarring starting to happen. I'm only 22, and wanted to nip that right in the bud before it got worse over the years. I'm so proud of myself :-) Who knew that touching my face constantly was the cause of my bad skin?http://imgur.com/a/Bax9R
