In last post, I discussed that some become obsessed with their acne and can't keep their hands from squeezing or scratching their skin. The minor acne becomes severe because of a behavioral disorder that fuels the impulse to constantly pick at the skin — then it becomes a physical and emotional issue that requires treatment. So beware of it!
MIRROR- A FRIEND OR FOE FOR ACNE
Today I want to discuss the second bad habit that cause minor acne to severe and other behavioral problems that can make life miserable. People with acne may spend hours gazing into a mirror, inspecting and picking at their blemishes and skin. All that picking and squeezing only makes acne worse, causing red marks and scarring. If it’s constant, deep acne scars can result — and even be permanent.
How do youngsters having acne friendship with mirror?
- Stand before the mirror and look into it and analyse acne for a long time.
- Go to the mirror again and again.
- Keep on counting the acne on face not once but again and again, perhaps hundred times a day. Oh yes, this is true when you ask such youngsters; they can tell you the number of pimples on their face in a jerk.
- Check the size and color of acne again and again standing in front of mirror.
- They compare the new acne with the old one and keenly notice its generation process. They are so much involved that they can tell you every stage of acne formulation and this is because they can’t control the habit of standing before the mirror.
- Check the acne with finger tip to know it can be picked or not so that no moment could be wasted to prick it and get rid of it.
- The youngsters keep their acne prone face so close to mirror that it seems it is going to kiss that. Perhaps at that time, they are so involved that they can’t tolerate the presence of air.
Dear this is true, you are suffering from acne and your appearance is not as appealing as before. But do not make it worse by adopting the above mentioned awful habit into obsession.
