its so weird, everytime i think actively about not touching my face, everything (well not literally of course) starts itching in my face. How do i make it stop....

@drali 4 года назад

One of the better strategies for you might be to keep your hands consistently busy instead of thinking of your face. These are the tips I share at 6:39.

@smilelovedancealot 4 года назад

Thank you for this video! I’m a big believer in not just telling people what they should do (use their phone less, stop procrastinating, etc) but explaining HOW to do it. I’ve been struggling with this, so thank you!

@drali 4 года назад

Glad it helped! I think it’s only natural to say what we should be doing and not thing of a support system that will make that change easier to do.

Lately I have been touching my face so much, that my skin is getting so bad. And i finally found this video, it was very helpful. Sounds easy but it's actually tough to not touch your face when you have a habit. I'm trying to follow all the tips, hopefully i get rid of the bad habit and my skin gets better

I can't touch my face so I try to move it to my neck

@PracticalInspiration 4 года назад

This was fantastic and very timely with all the concerns with Coronavirus. It's something I've struggled with, but found that the easiest way for me to curb the habit was to do shift habits by doing something with my hands (as I'm sat at a desk most of the day, I'd usually pick up a pen and fidget with it for a few seconds which shifts my focus).

@drali 4 года назад

Thank you! Glad this was timely and helpful.

@alchemillabrookhaven4327 4 года назад

I have asthma, so these days i'm really scared about getting the coronavirus. Sometimes i have shortness of breath and I panic because i think I could be sick already. And i don't know if it is just my asthma or if it is because of the anxiety (kind of psychosomatic), because when i'm distracted I usually feel better. How could i deal with this? I'm really worried, i couldn't sleep at all last night...

@xzonia1 4 года назад

Just assume your breathing issues are due to your asthma unless you develop other symptoms (fever, mental confusion, high fatigue) that might indicate you have caught something (which would not necessarily be the coronavirus either ... it could just be a cold or the flu). If you're young, also remember you have a much higher survival rate than older people, so you could catch it and survive. Please take sensible precautions, but don't stress about it until you know you have it. Then fuel that stress into getting proper treatment. I wish you good health.

@felixcat9455 4 года назад

I’m going through the same thing. I keep monitoring how I feel and start thinking I might be sick. I have to distract myself somehow otherwise I really get paranoid.

I do something similar. When trying to remember something, I would take an item out of its ordinary place so it would constantly bother me.

Changing the environment is a great way to change your behavior.

@lifewithlavvv 3 года назад

I just came across this video and I must say these tips are very useful! I've been struggling with acne and spots bcoz I'm always touching my face unconsciously and of course with covid around not touching my face is only going to prove a good habit! Thanks a lot for this video :)

@mariacruza756 3 года назад

Watching this to see if i can figure out how to keep FOOD away from my face!!

@xzonia1 4 года назад

Good video, Dr. Mattu! It's all good advice for changing habits effectively. :) I guess you could say I took the easy way out. My younger brother has always been germ conscious and has a habit of wiping his face with his shirt shoulder or upper sleeve. Now that everyone keeps saying Don't touch your face! I find myself mimicking him. It satisfies the need to touch without increasing the risk of infection. Brainy baby brothers are a blessing! :)

@drali 4 года назад

I’m a big fan of taking the easy way out when it comes to behavior change! The best way I’ve cleaned to reduce my snacking at home is to just not bring snacks into my home.

@xzonia1 4 года назад

@@drali That is a good approach! It's hard to eat what you don't have in the house. :)

@RichyTheGamer1 4 года назад

Just by reading the title I already want to touch my face. What can I do if my face is itchy ? Or when I wake up and need to "brush" my eyes with my finger to clean them ?

@drali 4 года назад

It's okay to touch your face if your hands are clean or if you use a clean tissue to touch your face. Alternatively you could consider lotions, creams, or ointments that might reduce the itchiness on your face.

@RichyTheGamer1 4 года назад

@@drali thanks, My hands are always clean anyway so I'm safe

The habit biting my nails make it worse :( Have tried several ways to stop it but it's almost change nothing.

@baekgus 3 года назад

I used to bite my nails too, i've never knew that you could die from it. My brain just like "yup, we are not biting our nails" It takes a lot of time though, I bite my nails like everyday for 2 years.
