Actually, since the heat has been on in the house and my skin has become much drier for some reason, I haven't been washing my face as much because that dries it out even more. I think there's definitely an anxiety component to my compulsion, but it's lessened now due the fact that I don't NEED to wash my face as often. I may try the rubberband trick, thanks.
