Previously in my blog post, I have talked about what had happened to my face (I meant the acne guys! ). For almost a year, I am experiencing severe acne and I gotten so desperate that the only thing I probably did not do is consult a dermatologist.
I was switching from different soaps, facial wash, and creams be it germicidal or just plain beauty soap that promises to give clear skin or prevent pimples.
Until one day I got so tired of them all. I was in Youtube one time and there is this guy who talked about not washing his face with anythin and except water and it cleared his face. I finally hopped in to different clips about the Caveman Regimen. It says I should not wash my face for a month and let my skin do it's job in cleaning itself.
I was so eager to try this and that started on July 17, 2017. I really cannot forget that day because it was a major decision. For 3 days straight I did not wash my face and it was so weird not being able to wash and scrape it with lathering soap.
I stopped looking my face in the mirror all the time when I started that and trying to pacify myself that it will work. After three days I was delighted to see that there is not any pimple that grows. The following day I just cannot prevent it from getting wet sice I needed to take a shower. I decided to just have it wet but leave it as it is and just wipe it dry with paper towel after shower.
Since then I realize I cannot follow the rules totally so I opt to have it that way and just not use anything on my face except water. I cannot remember when I started trying out new things while I am on the regimen, all I know is I am struggling to not use a soap or any facial products to clean up. I got me some honey just to rub it on my face before rinsing it with water and eventually I got lazy applying it and sticking to water only the whole time until I noticed that my acne were drying quickly.
I was like... I must be doing it right and I pushed it until my face has cleared 90%. I also noticed that the scars fades quickly. Whenever I have whiteheads, I just leave them be and it dries up within 3 days without me touching them. During this time, my face gets wet only during shower.
My skin totally cleared up (there are few blemishes, my skin is not perfect) probably few months after doing the regimen and then I messed it up again because I tried experimenting again. I will talk about it in my next blog post.
