131. The serious side of skin picking + how estheticians can help.

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?
