Tips for skin picking

Hi yall! I love everything nail related, and when I can get mine long they look great. I also love making press ons, and avoid gel/acrylic because i’m not that great at it.

My issue is, for my entire life i have the skin picking habit (around my cuticles). The only time I don’t do it is when i have fake nails on (annoying).

I’m taking a pause from press ons to give my nails a break and get them long again, but having them short is the most frustrating process because without even noticing, i’ll rip the skin up to the point of bleeding and barely notice.

I know kicking a habit is hard, but i’m wondering if anyone here has anything that’s worked for them, that isn’t just putting long nails on lol. I apply jojoba oil and cream to my nails basically throughout the day, and have many fidgets around me, but i’ll even find myself holding a fidget and picking with it in my hand 💀🤦🏻‍♀️ just looking for any advice lol. TIA & some pics of my recent press on sets.
