“Consumers can avoid toxic ingredients by using USDA certified Organic Body Care and Cosmetics. the trouble is, while the USDA allow cosmetics and body care products meeting National Organic Program food and agricultural standards to be certified organic, it doesn’t police the rampant labeling fraud in the industry, where many brands make organic claims on their front label, but in facts are neither organic, nor certified.”

“It is amazing how there is such a lack of regulation when it comes to cosmetics. Many ingredients in cosmetics contain toxic substances that are on the Environmental Protection Agency’s lists of hazardous wastes and hazardous substances.
“Since there was the long-ago myth that the skin is an impermeable barrier, cosmetics laws became a low priority – much to the chagrin of the American people.”
Elizabeth Howard, RawRawGirls.com
“I apply the same principle to skin care as I apply to food. Both are entering my body, whether through my skin or through my mouth. Therefore, both need to be as close to nature as possible, completely pure, and entirely free of chemicals and synthetics.
Unlike the food industry, there are no legal standards for personal care products sold in the United states, meaning that we need to be savvy when shopping for healthy skin care.”
Jill Bickford, Living Earth Beauty
Regardless of whether you are in a relationship or not, BE in a relationship with YOURSELF. Fall back in LOVE with YOU (and your skin)!
I am pleased to announced that the new Stop Picking On Me book with over 400 pages of content, and the accompanying highly interactive SPOM! Workbook are officially available on Amazon. I was going to wait for yet another round of revisions and proofing and corrections (and also include a forward by a licensed medical doctor), but that could take many more months. So I bit the bullet and launched it. I hope that this book will change your life dramatically for the better.
Remember who loves you babay?

I have been working on creating and connecting various social media for the Stop Picking On Me book (and Workbook) that will be released soon. I just uploaded a new intro video for the new Team SPOM! YouTube channel. If you know anyone suffering from Excoriation Disorder, please let them know about this project. And yes, I would appreciate likes and subscriptions to this new social media outlet. Thank you in advance.
This is a safe place where you WILL find peace, comfort, support and non judgement.
I will post updates on this blog once in a while. mainly i will be adding more pages to the main book site.
No one should suffer needlessly. There is help if you want it. Go grab it!!!
Here you will find healing ideas to stop picking on you. The website is for skin pickers: those who pick at their faces, pick at pimples, pick at cuticles, pick at split ends pick at in-grown hairs or pick at scabs. (It would address lip peeling and nail biting as well). The website addresses the problem of Compulsive and Self Injurious Skin Picking (SISP).
17 million Americans over the age of 18 suffer from acne. Studies show that roughly 4% of college students and 2% of patients who seek the help of dermatologists suffer with the affliction and women outnumber the men 8 to 1. Drugstore shelves are filled with products specifically geared towards adult woman who breakout. The audience for this webite may actually be quite a bit larger than statistics due to the taboo nature of the habit; people are less likely to admit they have a problem with skin picking as opposed to having a drinking problem. It is very insidious.
Currently the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders, the written authority on psychiatric disorders, uses the word “excoriation” for the condition. You are not alone. There thousands and thousands of people who suffer from skin picking.
