Exactly what I was thinking. She must have really hated her skin to sand her face and harm herself.

This! :•{ I can relate because I did similar (never sandpaper, but harsh physical exfoliants and isopropyl alcohol, baking soda, etc) and it was a form of self harm. I knew it wouldn’t make my acne better and that it would hurt me, but I felt so disgusted by the sight of my face that even bleeding wounds and scars seemed like an improvement over the pimples. I was hopeless and frustrated. And truthfully, I felt like I deserved the pain for failing to look beautiful. Society’s message to women seemed to be, “your only worth is being pretty, once your youth and beauty are gone you’re disposable,” so that internalized misogyny created a horrible inner turmoil. That’s why I’m so grateful for people like Hyram who educate the public on skincare AND self care. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful and achieve clear skin, it really can be life changing. (For that reason I’m super passionate about affordable skincare too, because it’s ridiculous to look at it as a luxury instead of a basic need and a part of personal hygiene!!) But everyone also deserves to know that their worth is so much deeper and so far beyond their physical appearance. If anyone reading this has felt this way or feels this way, I see you, I empathize with you, I support you, I love you, and I wish you the best. ❤️

Chocolat Meilleure i love him too and your so right abt what you said btw your beautiful now and you were then!💕

Did he do a react clip to the "gorilla glue" on hair yet?

@@mintalafolie Thank you you too

Hahaha💀😂

More people have to see that!

LOL “tell me you’ve watched my OG videos without telling me you’ve watched my OG videos” ILY ❤️

OMG LITERALLY SAAAAME!!!! 😱😂😂😂😂 Everytime I catch myself doin that, I hear this sentence and I laugh out loud while going back to smoooothly applying my stuff😂

@@Hyram 🤗 love your videos!! 💜

I can relate

Same 😭 and then I have scabs and then I pick those and then they bleed it sucks 😭

Same. I’m picking right now in bed.

@@lyssa744 yeah me too, like if I feel something on my face I will not stop picking at it!!!

This is self harm. What are you feeling/ thinking/ avoiding at the times when you do this? Get to the root. The picking is a symptom, not the problem.

THIS!!! This really works, I’m 40 and I’ve had dermatilomania since I was about 7. I could have written the above comment myself as I’ve also had periods where I could barely walk. Thick gel nails and great skincare (less to pick) has saved my life.

YES ! It worked for me for sometimes, but then I had eczema so I needed to have my nails super short. But I would definitely recommend !

I have done all of that but I still pick, nothing seems to work for me😢

I have acrylics, personally it didn’t work for me. Maybe it caused even more irritation lol. But not looking in the mirror made me stop

Yessss I have only had acrylics once but I noticed how much I didn’t pick at my skin

Best advice ever.. UP close everything looks bad 🥲

@@isabelabarca4004 we’re humans and we’ll have pores and fine lines and texture, we ain’t plastic barbie dolls. so don’t worry!!! 🥰

IKR

Yeah I need to stop

Yes from far I’m like wow It is almost gone close up 😳😓😓

Tbh at this point it's way better to just use st. ives lol

@@morgianasartre6709 ik right

@Jayla Ortiz better than sand paper lol

I would rather use saint ives every day for the rest of my life instead of sandpaper once

@Jayla Ortiz noooo

Ouch

WHAT THE HELL OMG!! i feel so bad for her, bless her soul 😫

I rubbed one on the top of my hand, for no specific reason. It wasn’t enough to leave a mark, but it still felt like I rubbed with microscopic shards of glass or something. It was so weird and off-putting. At least now I deeply understand that magic erasers are essentially fine sanders.

I once used one to rub off some hair dye I got on my neck. Never again.

go fragrance free.

You're the kind of mother I want to be ❤️

lmao im teaching MY mom what no to do

@@ajmusicboyxxx2769 yes 👏 maam 👏 mama

Omg your a great mom! All my mom gets is St Ives for me and I tell her to stop but noooooo 🙄 “mother knows best” she says.

Ikr- 😂😭

fr tho💀

Yeah

Yeah you can’t really top trying to sand down your acne 😭

at least the alcohol disinfect, but that must have hurt so much 🥲

I’ve never really thought about it, but there is a chance I could have dermatillomania.

Lol me too, funny not funny

The skin-picking itself is not a mental illness, though in excess it is indicative of a couple of mental illnesses such as dermatillomania and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Haha yeah, that's a common symptom of various disorders. A few examples that this symptom CAN occur are anxiety, ADHD, Autism, probably schizophrenia, the list goes on.

samee we love dermatillomania

Fr i thought it was normal-

RIGHT.

the bar is *on the floor*

The bar goes PAST the floor!! Goodness gracious!😰

@@JESUSROCKS921 6 feet under literally-

The bar is below hell

this is honestly such good advice! thank you!!!

I do this too! Great advice, it truly helps!

YES! Or if you want light, you have to cover up the mirrors! Especially after taking a shower when all your pores look clean and ready to pick.... have the mirrors covered beforehand!

Sometimes a person has to do little tricks on themself to be healthier. Whatever works!

Dude, what an idea. Gotta try this

I think it was sarcasm mocking her former attitude towards skin care.

Yea it’s a joke

No no don't, she was literally bleeding and cut everywhere. It's SO painful, as your literally tearing skin into shreds. She has skin like that now because she knows how to wash it properly.

@@luvaudrey NO NO WAIT THEY DIDNT MEAN THEY WANTED TO TRY THE SANDPAPER THING they meant it gives them hope for themselves to see the woman with healthier skin and a better routine. it was a misunderstanding, you don’t really know what someone actually means to say online unless they explain it to you😭

Let us do that then😏her skin be glowing so ig that what made her skin beautiful.😫

@@franciscojr.5383 dont use sandpaper on your face. itll be so painful and the scars will never go away. i used to overexfoliate (the skin on my nose would break and i would have huge red spots on my nose and forehead that would bleed and leak) and i cant imagine rubbing sandpaper on my face. that is NOT what made her skin look good. what made her look good is most likely a proper skincare routine that she stuck to for a long time

@@franciscojr.5383 bro just chill and seek a psychiatrist first

Noo 💀

That was a super common trend when that hell pore mask was going around too. I remember all the videos of people peeling it off and laughing at them lol.

Didnt everyone??

I use charcoal face masks all the time and it does nothing I just use them because its really relaxing!

Same but I had no money for charcoal so just did the glue

When you say “picking” what do yo mean? Sorry english is not my first language 😅

Me to I still struggle to this day when I'm stressed or nervous I'll automatically start picking 🥴

I would love to know how to stop picking my skin please

@@maye96r it means to scratch or press on pimples making scars in the process

You're doing great, keep going! Would you mind telling me how you managed to do that? My sister suffers from that condition but she isn't even aware of it (I've told her before that it's a known thing but she didn't really seem to acknowledge it). I really wanna help her, could you give me some advice?

Just came to comment on that!

Yep

That was great 🤣

What is ur profile pic…..

You do I have that in a mild case for my scalP

i totally feel that im like 90% sure i have dermatilomania im covered in scars and legit cant control it. i tried to tell therapists and doctors but so far they haven't really helped :/

I think you do have something unless it’s itchy lol like I have sariasis on the back of my neck and went to a dermatologist and it’s not gone but helping’

Girl I used to struggle so badly with dermatilomania, especially picking unconsciously and even in my sleep!! The BIGGEST thing that has helped is having acrylic or gel nails/ nail extensions, having thicker tipped nails makes it almost impossible to pick your skin!!

@@amandasawyer938 yeah ive tried that, but i guess i would find other ways of picking like with tweezers and shit or i would pick off all the nail polish or take off the fake nails

Ur pic is cute

I don’t use the grapefruit one, just the unscented. I’m switching soon thanks to his channel.

Bro same- T^T

Ohh god. This made cringe so hard😂

if you still have the scars, i’d defo recommend BioOil. it comes in a transparent bottle with a white cap, put it on twice a day. it’s helped clear my blemishes and scars so well :)

The coconut oil is really good for scarring!!

@@alexandrew647 there’s nothing really in bioOil that will actually fade your scars (except for s little bit of vitamin e: hyram doesn’t like bioOil

Perfect example of people thinking natural is better haha

He ain't a dermatologist :) it's illegal to provide a service without a license, he could get his ass sued, plus there's so much anyone can do without fiscally seeing your face (even tho ppl without license doing it exist)

He’s just giving advice based on his experience in skincare and what he likes, he’s not a dermatologist and can’t recommend something that will work for everyone because peoples skin is different and he can’t actually see his viewers skin. I know not everyone can afford a dermatologist so his videos are still really helpful but please still only take his advice with a grain of salt since he is not a professional :)

That's why dermatologists exist

@@Wexory fiscally. lol

I have dermatophagia. Which is the same thing except on your hands. It sucks, I feel you. 💕

@@elapease2802 Thank you 💕 it’s really not talked about enough and I’m really glad it was mentioned here

i have dermatillomania too.. i haven't ran into many people who have it but i've struggled for years and i feel better knowing there's other people struggling with it just like me!

Dude i do it on my scalp and i dont k know how i dont have big balding spots..

I don't have a diagnosis but I think I might have dermatillomania too. I will pick at any blemish on my skin until I bleed and the entire area is red, and then they will scab and I will do it again. I also have the same issue with my nails, I bite them until my entire finger tip is red and my cuticles are bleeding. I feel no pain as a do these things and I almost feel relaxed as I do it but as soon as I "allow" myself to be done I feel so much pain and anxiety and I can't even touch or hold anything or wash my face without wanting to cry from the pain or feel the need to pick again.

tbh i pick my skin but it heals because I use pimple patches. i don't have any scaring either

I also have OCD but I tell myself that if I pick my skin then something bad will happen to me and I stop doing it (a bit ironic I guess)

My heart goes out to you because I've been dealing with trich my whole life, too. That impulse to keep picking and/or pulling, even when it hurts, is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. I'm glad she shared her struggles; it honestly helps so many people just to know they're not alone. I hope you're doing well!

not me reading this while playing with my hair

😊

Eyyy I have trich and dermatillomania so love that for me

As a social worker, I see this pretty regular in my work. Yet, I never really got it in class expect for like 3 minutes maybe. It’s just so weird to me how little I knew about skin and hair picking in class. When I started as an intern, I didn’t even know what it really was. I needed to go to the bathroom and just sat there googling Wtf I needed to do with my client. We def need more representation!

Nah he's kneeling down

Lol

Also like…I feel like I could add to this with a lot of things 😂 I once had a huge pimple on my neck, and I was like I am NOT picking at this so I soaked a cotton ball in tee tree oil and taped it to my neck overnight. Got a MASSIVE burn on my neck from it and the scar is still there but fading…because obviously I picked at it as well 🤪 Also used to use that apricot scrub multiple times per day and yeah basically believed my skin getting worse was it purging all the gross shit from me 😂

First!,,,,,,,,,,X,,,,,,,d,,,,,,,,,Me too😧

Let’s not skip the ads Hyram will need that therapy money after this 😂
