"Besides just liking them, I get false lashes so that I wake up with them dark and done. This way, I don't go to a mirror to apply mascara, which would often lead to " - CEO

Lash extensions have been a go-to strategy for our founder Lauren, as they help her reduce mirror time and in-turn, the urge to focus in on skin and start picking!

Do you have a strategy like this that helps you reduce picking triggers? Let us know your hacks fam!

Im over because I am beautiful and I deserve to be loved for all of me.

I have been picking since I was about 7-8. Moving to a new country and struggling to fit in took a toll on me growing up. I started picking and I thought well everyone does it but I realised I had a problem when I was about 14, by then it was too late.

I was covered from the shoulders down to my feet in scars and scabs. I was self conscious and scared that I was doing to never get a boyfriend or have friends, the typical teenage stuff. Eventually I did get people that thought I was beautiful and saw past the scars. And eventually I did too..." - , Zoe, 25, England

Much love to Zoe for sharing her story 😍

is a huge aspect of recovery, and although it may be hard at first, persistance is key!
