What is compulsive skin exfoliation? Don't have this quirk

For many people, do you like to pick fingernails unconsciously, tear the skin of your mouth and squeeze the acne? Psychologists call it forced skin peeling to see what typical symptoms it has. In fact, it's really a disease. ​

Unconsciously tearing the skin of the mouth may be the two wrong ways to deal with the peeling of the lips: licking and tearing off the dead skin with the tongue.

Often lick the lips and the skin around the mouth, will fall into a vicious circle of licking and drying, causing or aggravating cheilitis. When the lip skin is raised, it is easy to tear it with hands, which may lead to further damage, pain and bleeding. You can try to apply hot towels for 3~5 minutes, then wipe off the dead skin on your lips with a soft brush and apply lip balm.
