Welcome to The Treatment Room! I'm Tessa, a licensed esthetician, acne specialist, nutrition coach and skincare brand founder.
Trigger warning: this episode does contain discussion around the sensitive topic of skin picking.
Today I'm shedding light on skin picking as a disorder, providing resources for professional help, and my tips for skincare as an acne specialist. Let's end isolation and shame for people experiencing skin picking associated behaviors.
We talk:
- what is skin picking? (excoriation disorder)
- why do we do it
- treatment options
- how to limit picking
- what to do if you pick
- how can estheticians be there for those who struggle with BFRB?
