January 21, 2019 at 10:00PM Why you should stop picking at your blemishes and why acne healing patches can help get your skin back on track. Continue Reading… Author Gretchen Lidicker | Life by Daily Burn Selected by iversue Blemishes are truly the worst. They’re painful, itchy, and they can last days or even weeks! For many of us, it’s virtually impossible not to pick at them. Unfortunately, this habit gets us nowhere. In fact, it can even exacerbate the problem, putting you at risk for infection, scarring, and longer healing times. Don’t believe me? Take it from Diana Yerks, lead esthetician at Rescue Spa: “Picking a blemish can force bacteria and debris further into the follicle, causing it to spread and worsen the infection. Throughout my experience, I have noticed that clients who leave their breakouts alone have less of a risk of residual post-inflammatory pigmentation that those who don’t.” Yikes. Healing your skin takes time, but blemish patches can help None of that sounds ideal, but luckily, this is a problem that can be solved. At mbg, we always recommend tackling skin health issues from the inside out, and that’s because internal imbalances—like those in the gut and with our hormones—often show up on the skin.

If you watched the show but haven’t quite gotten around to reading Kondo’s books, which provide a more comprehensive look at her method, chances are you have some too. An informal poll around the mindbodygreen office showed that we need follow-ups to just about every aspect of the Kondo method—from the granular (How do I fold my hoodies!?) to the big-picture (What does it really mean to spark joy?). Well, we couldn’t reach Kondo on the phone to answer them (she’s busy these days!), but we found the next best thing: a certified KonMari consultant. Lisa Tselebidis is one of over 200 organizers who are qualified to practice Kondo’s method with their clients, having graduated from the KonMari organizing school. The training program is a meticulously organized compendium of boxes, books, and lesson plans aimed to make students as adept at Kondo’s method as Kondo herself. In fact, Tselebidis says that KonMari consultants even worked behind the scenes of the Netflix show to help people out with their homework! Here’s what the Kondo aficionado had to say to all of our burning questions regarding the great joy-sparking renegade of 2019:
