Probably the most common BFRB crime scene is the bathroom with brightly lit mirrors.
I tend to scrutinize my face closely under the bright light for hours. I see things that other people wouldn’t even notice.
A simple trick to reduce visual triggers is to dim the lights. I unscrewed three out of four lightbulbs in my bathroom. I still see enough for my bathroom activities as most don’t even require bright lights.
If dimming the lights in your bathroom isn’t an option, maybe consider getting a night lamp. Some of them have dimmers or even different color options.
I still remember going to that one bar as a teenager where the bathroom lights were red and dimmed. My skin there never looked more flawless. All I can say is that my confidence was quite high after these bathroom visits 😉
Alternatively, you may be able to remove the mirror entirely. And while we’re at it, be sure to remove any magnifying mirrors for your own good.
