I "constantly" pick my lips till they bleed... 😞 whether I'm stressed or not. It's been going on since childhood. Why do I do it...the sensation maybe?? Either way it's not good at all and I need to break this disorder before I do permanent damage to my lips. Thanks for the suggestions.

What helped me to stop was putting honey on my lips and leaving it there for as long as I could. It moistured them, which reduces the likelihood of me me picking them, and keeps me from putting my fingers on my lips. At first you will catch yourself trying to pick them, but you will most likely stop due to the unpleasant stickiness. In a week I completely stopped.
As you get used to it, you can start reducing the time you have honey on and start leaving a complete lip-picking-free life that you deserve.

Remember: ANYTHING can be healed.💫

I really hope this helps you in any way🙏
Much love from a spirituality youtuber✨🌟

Oh my God!!!! I didn’t know this was a problem people struggled with! I thought I’m the only one. I just decided to search on YouTube about this. I have lip balm’s everywhere. I pick because i feel a little roughness due to previous picking. And the picking never stops.

I've been picking at my lips for the last few months. The thing that gets me is when the skin starts to grow back and it starts getting crunchy LMAO. When I feel the dry skin growing, it makes me wanna pick it off immediately! Idk I also love the feeling of not having any dead skin on my lips, it just feel good to me. But whats not good is that I pick at them until they bleed or until they're bright red. I'm currently at the crunchy new skin stage but so far so good!!

I've been picking my lips since childhood until now as an adult. I constantly do it when I am laying in bed, sitting or just thinking, or when at work.
One time my sibling noticed that my lips are bleeding. And I told her I cant stop picking my lips.

Im not sure. Must be the feeling or sensation. Even if it bleeds or hurts I still pick or bite my lips. When I stop I feel uneasy.

I pick my lips when I’m bored, anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, thinking, etc. I started this habit in third grade and I am currently in sixth. I have asked my friends and family to smack my hand down as hard as they can when they see me pick. It never really worked tho. I would go all day without picking at school and then I would get home and pick off all the skin that had healed during the day. I will pick until my hands are covered in blood and if there is nothing on my lips to pick I would DIG into my lip to pick it. I haven’t watched the video all the way through yet but I hope It helps me. 💖💖

My trigger is dry lips first thing in the morning. I've started the day out by putting on balm right away. My favorite right now is Balm Dotcom by Glossier.

I always pick my lip off until it bleeds and swells sometimes, i really need to stop

If you hate reapplying regular lip balms this may work for you, instead of using regular lip balms use overnight lip masks/balms, they're purposely formulated to last for ages without reapplying constantly. I use them day and night and it feels so soothing as well as it stops my hands from picking :)

I pick my lips at night or when l, m sad or stressed but this helped a lot thank you so much!

Not me picking my lips whilst watching this video…

Chewing a big gum (I mean 2-3 gums at a time ) can help. From my experience.

A good way to distract yourself from lip picking is chewing according to me.

I tend to alternate between lip picking, nail picking and skin picking. Right now, I almost only pick my skin. My nails and my lips are really good (well at least for me). My skin is really bad right now. Sometimes my lips are really bad, and the other two are better...

Im 23 and due to this habit that has become an addiction I peel my lips till it wounds and it becoming more aggressive, I am aware when I’m doing it, I do try the lip balm tip but it’s no use, I really want to brake this harmful habit

Im 29, and i been doi g it for 20 years for sure.. i want to stop, and i say to myself stop, dont do it.. and always goes to my lips...i stop, 2min and it goes back.. and once i start i cant stop, i hablve to finish the whole lips

I know this isn’t feasible for everyone, but I found that getting acrylic nails helped me to stop picking. They are so thick that it’s almost impossible to grab any skin with them. I still use my teeth to “pick” at my lips and inside of my cheek, but by eliminating my nails, it’s cut down a bunch!

[OriginalDrGonzo]

I don't really have a problem stopping, it's that my lips never stop flaking afterwards.

[CharmedGurl]

Thank you I never realized picking my lips could be caused by certain situations. Now that I realize that it makes so much sense!I have been picking my lips until the bleed and burn and this helped so much❤

[gracie]

a pinch of salt and I'm done, I didn't know earlier that this is some sort of disorder I always do it when I'm thinking about something and I think 24/7 so.... 😔

I’m still just a teen but this has been going on since grade 3 I pick up them till they start bleeding and then go white trying to heal and then it stops, but sometimes I’ll go with other parts of my mouth/lips, the pattern that I’ve noticed is that I only do it when I’m struggling to fall asleep
