I cant stop picking my lips!?

Question

I pick my lips 24/7. I used to use lip balm and it helped and i had gorgeous lips. Now lip balm wont even help, even the best types, it just me who cant stop picking my lips. My lips look horrible and when ever i touch them there all scratchy and rough. I once made a deal with my self that if i catched myself picking i would give my hand a little slap, but of course that never worked.
Does anyone know a good trick to stop picking my lips or to distract me? I'm in need of help!
If you have anything to help or any idea just say it!
Thanks!

My sisters boyfriend said to put chili or tabasco or something spiciy on my fingers and when ever i try to pick, it will burn like crazy but it will help me from picking, is that stupid, will it harm my lips??

Answer 1

What I've done before when I have a bad habit I want to break, I'll put a rubber band or a pony tail holder around my wrist, and whenever I catch myself doing it, I'd snap it. I know it's a little like your slapping the hand idea, but it's simpler, and a smaller movement. Also, if you use Carmex, your lips are often so smooth there's nothing to pick. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Keep a really good balm in your pocket all the time. Use it whenever you want to pick. Put a rubber band around your wrist and every time you want to pick twang yourself hard with it. Soon you will stop.

Answer 4

keep your lips and hands busy. get a lollypop. it's tasty and will keep you for picking for a while. and always put a heavy balm on before you go to bed...that way your lips can heal themselves. then once they heal...don't pick!
