Breaking a bad habit

Hi Toni! I think if you should consciously keep reminding yourself that you are not supposed to touch your skin, it may help you abstain from touching your skin. If you remain conscious about it, you would be able to get rid of this problem. Actually, our skin tissues/cells are very delicate and should not be poked unnecessarily. It may be that you see yourself in the mirror too often …………. If you are in a group, touching your face time and again could also mean that you want to draw their attention towards you. For example, if you happen to observe few persons in a gathering, you would notice that some of them keep touching their faces or keep touching their ornaments/accessories or dress, many of theme have a hidden and subconscious desire that others should notice them

I would have to admit to the face one as well, and also, smoking too, as I am sure this deals a-lot with my skin problems I have experienced in life and still do. Good-luck with yours :D.

With regards to my skin, I am not so conscious about it when I was younger. When I take a bath, I just lather on the soap and rinse, no exfoliating whatsoever or putting on lotions and sunscreen afterwards. I don't shave and no putting on make-up. When I go out I am not afraid of the sun rays. It is only now that I am on my later years that I notice that I have so many skin discolorations and my skin ha become darker. That's one bad habit of mine, that is I'm lazy taking care of my skin, having those rituals that a woman should be doing while young. Though I think it is quite late to bring back the moisture and the smoothness of my skin, I still try to make it possible by having the nightly rituals and pampering my skin when taking showers. I hope I can still delay the aging of my skin. I am just lucky that I did not experience those acne and skim imperfections on my face, only on my arms and legs.

Hey I think you're not right at the part when you said you're too late. I think it's not late to start treating your skin with care. you can start it today and can see the difference in a month's time. Was your face couple of times a day, do the egg facial once a week, and there are many tutorials on youtube you could try. Me, I have been a real skin freak since forever. I like taking care of skin like some people like taking care of their hair/clothes. The least I wash my face is twice a day. Anyway the one bad habit i had was bitting my nails off. I did it without even realising it but I have somehow stopped that habit of mine and now I have beautiful nails erm the current bad habit of mine is being lazy. I am lazy to the extent that i starve hahah!!

I think everyone is conscious about their skin too. Because appearance nowadays is really important. From work to friends to love etc, need I say more. Taking care of our skin is tedious. But not for those people who are gifted with good skin. Those with small pores and does not even have a zit or blackhead hence does not go under any regimen for it. Lucky them. Back in college days, I used to have pimples too. And now some scars are still visible. But I seldom have pimples now, my only problem is I have an oily skin. Oiliness is next to ugliness as they say haha. Talking about make up, I'm fond of it. But when I'm lazy to put on make up, I just use a moisturizer, it gives my skin a certain glow. That's why I also keep my skin tan, I think it helps me to achieve a no make up look which I really love.

Hi, there toni! :) I think, you really have to break that habit of yours. You could have irritate your skin and what I've heard that if you constantly touch your face with your hands, it could cause pimples to grow. I don't have that habit but I think, what I like to break is my being a procrastinator. It's really not good. It makes me less productive. :(

I think I have good skin. I am very vain about my face -- I cleanse, tone, moisturize and always make sure I wear sunblock My yucky habit right now is scratching my nape. It's really itchy and I know I have to do something about the flakes. I hate it. Have a nice day!

"sitting in front of the computer hours long" is my bad habit, i can sit continuously 18hours in a day... It will effects on future.

Hi toniganzon, I do have the same problem as you face and I touch my face too too often. I have a lot of pimple on my forehead and there are already a lot of scar marks there. Not only do i touch my face often, i tend to peel and dig the pimples too. Every time i see my forehead, i feel really sad. Everytime I tell myself to stop scratching my pimple and not to pick at my pimple. However, i just keep forgetting about it. I really need to make sure i get rid of this bad habit before my face gets worse.

I have two bad habits that I need to break, though neither of them is related to skin. I'm generally quite lucky with my skin - I'm lazy about following a skin care routine, and I eat tonnes of chocolate, and I don't drink enough water....but I very very rarely wear makeup, I almost never wear foundation (maybe once a month for an evening?) and so my skin generally is relatively clear. The two habits I need to break are: a) Impulse shopping b) Reading but not responding on mylot! I'm a very skint student, trying to save money, and impulse shopping is making it really hard. As well, there are NO jobs going in my area, so I'm trying to concentrate on earning what little I can through mylot, so I MUST make sure to leave more comments. I haven't reached payout yet, but I'm hoping to get into a habit of posting more often, and longer responses, so that my earnings will steadily increase. I'd love to be at the point of earning $1 a day, but at the minute I'm averaging more like 20cents a day - which definitely isn't going to help much! But fingers crossed with determination and dedication we can both break our bad habits!

I think I've a lot of bad habits and I'm not concious many of them from. e.g. I eat too fast almost without chew and can inquire too much.

My current problem now and part of my habit is scratching my back, now i have a lot of insect bites and i oftentimes scratch them now. I am really trying not to scratch them but it is really itchy, I am goin to visit a dermatologist for this becuase the marks are not good for the eyes.:)

im not that beautiful but im a beauty conscious person...there are a lot of beauty tips spreading in the internet or even videos at youtube. you may also visit beauty shop for more effective beauty cream that you may use.. right now I am using st. ives facial scrub coz i hate seeing white heads and black heads on my face and i don't and i'm not use to break it coz its really painful. so decided to use facial scrub and it's really effective.

I have this habit of biting my nails before. I a happy to have gotten over it. I stopped when I saw the habit done by someone else. Then I told myself, gosh I look terrible in doing so. Then I stopped.

I had a few skin problems when I was younger, but not now. I can touch my face as much as I want, it doesn't affect me, my skin is very tough. But being a guy I can sometimes have problems through shaving. And I have a bad habit of sometimes shaving with a safety razor without shaving cream; I mean: dry. It's not good for the skin; and I should avoid doing it completely. But my skin's so tough and it heals so well, I just do this from time to time. Oh, and sometimes if I get something in my eye, I'll poke too hard at it trying to get it out with the corner of a tissue. And end up with very sore eyes. These are some bad habits of mine related to the face.

I guess a bad habit that I need to break would be smoking? LOL.. I actually have asthma, and I guess I've gotten used to it. At least I have been cutting down on smoking and smoke half a pack a day instead of my usual pack a day. I'll be cutting down more soon enough. Wish me luck!

I keep telling my roommate not to touch his face every time he's got a chance too. I think you have the same habit. His pimples spread through out his face because of the constant touching. He just can't help it. I told him not to touch it so often as it could irritate his face, his pores and the pimples will just sprout from everywhere in his face. He used to have a pretty good and smooth face before but it was gone now, his face has a lot of pimples now. I said, if he doesn't stop touching his face like that, and that often, he would never get over with those pimples. I do have pimples every now and then but I don't touch them so often. I'd rather have my facial spa too, rather than removing whiteheads and black heads from my face. :)
