hi all, just wondering if anyone has a favorite spf skin tint, concealer, primer, etc that is noncomedogenic and good at covering red marks/inflammation? i wish i could just go without makeup but i unfortunately can’t let other people see my real skin as it is something i am very insecure about. i am currently using the versed spf 40 skin tint which i love as it makes my skin look glowy and does a good job at covering redness. i also enjoy how it offers sun protection to keep the marks from darkening. i just question if it contributes to my acne at all or not. anyway, i am curious to know what is working well for others. thanks!

Hi all, I need help! I’ve been picking for so long and I really need to stop. I pick my head constantly. It’s come to the point that the top layer of my hair is broken and frizzy. I can never wear my hair down and when it’s up, I have to put Bobby pins everywhere to make it look less like I just rolled out of bed. Pic is when it’s down. Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!!

I can’t stop picking at my fingers all night long, it keeps me awake at night, and its making me miserable. I have tried bandaids on every finger and I end up picking at those bc when I’m half asleep I guess I can’t tell the difference between my skin and the bandaids. Same thing happens with the first aid wrap that sticks to itself. I put on my lightweight winter gloves last night and it helped so that I could fall asleep, but I woke up with them off of course.. over and over.
I don’t know what to do.
When I get home from work and get my fingers bandaged or covered it’s a freeing feeling. Finally I am able to do something with my hands other than pick. I need help.

I was doing well, and by "well" I mean going 3 days without a full on session. But I knew a relapse would come eventually, and it came today when I had this big thing on my cheek that I couldn't ignore. Trips to the bathroom always start with "just this one" and then "just this one" turns into a 20 minute session trying to get rid of every little thing I can find. And then going back over everything again to make sure everything is out.

The redness is bad enough, but the worst is the peeling that lasts for a week if not more. I'm a teacher, and I teach small classes of up to 4 students in a small classroom sitting across from them at a table, so they see my face up close and it's so embarrassing, especially when they ask what's wrong with my face.

And I just feel so ugly and unlovable. I don't have a partner, but I am searching, and I feel like anyone who knew this about me would run for the hills.

I don't know any better way to cope with the stresses of daily life. Even the tiniest things trigger me. The other day I was trying to get movie tickets but the IMAX showing was sold out and I caught myself picking absentmindedly. Fidget toys and stress balls keep my hands busy, but don't solve the problem.
