Hey guys, I just found out about the Regimen yesterday and immediatly went out and bought the nuetrogena on-the-spot and the clean and clear foaming cleanser. I already had some Cetaphil lotion that i use at night, and during the day I use a neutrogena moisturizer that has some SPF in it. This morning was my second time doing it, and so far I have a few questions. For the ten seconds when your washing your face, is that my whole face or what? Secondly, I'm not experiencing any of the burn from the BP that most people complain about. I'm no stranger to bp and have used many different forms up to 10%. Do you think it would be ok to increase to more faster? As far as applying it the "glide" seems more like i'm applying a thin layer over everything than rubbing it in. Is this right?
I am a water polo player and swimmer, and here shortly swim season will be upon me , The chlorine has always dried out my skin pretty bad (Seems to help with the acne though). Is anyone else swim and can tell me what they do to keep from becoming totally dried out?
Anyway, after two tries those are my initial questions of many i'm sure. I just can't wait to be one of the posts showing off their nice skin.
Thanks everyone
Hi and good luck with the regimen! When washing your face just lather the soap between your hands and then lightly wash your face for about 10 seconds. The main idea is you want to do it fairly quickly with a light touch and no scrubbing or rubbing. As far as the burning goes you probably won't feel that for a week or so, it seems to set in once you've been on the regimen for awhile, as the dryness and sensitivity takes some time to build up. If you start with too much your face will probably get burned and then you'll wish you had gone slower. Going faster doesn't seem to have any real benefit.
