Hey guys, guillermo glad to hear its going so well. I dont masturbate alot anymore only 3 times a week wich is a huge improvement. I am going to try a raw vegan diet, wich means i only eat things nature has given us like fruits and vegetables so no processed foods. I'm really excited to see if it will clear up my face.

happy new years btw :)

@trashydude Hey my bro, glad you got the fapping frequency controlled as masturbating more than 2-3 times a week can be a disaster lol.

Also good luck on raw vegan diet, it is really really hard to do especially if you eat alot with other people. But if this diet doesnt clear you up, you might not be affected by food for your acne. So its worth the try so you can see how food affects u.

Also one tip i can give you is to prepsre your self by transitionning to raw foods gradually. Try to eat more and more raw foods each day and then after you can go 100% raw. For example tonight after plsying hockey i was really hungry and i ate some fruits instead of potato chips. Feels good :)

1 month + 1 week
What should I tell you now? As long as I don't "do it", I am almost safe. Safe means clear from acne, but still have some few small ones probably due to diets (I somehow agree with @Jikasa, sugar (from my mom's desserts, cakes, juices added sugar), can make some pimples pop up). I feel less stressed & have better performance than the period right after I relapse. This sounds positive, but I think it is not a sustainable practice because I go against basic human needs. After all while waiting for some cures, refraining from "doing it" is all I can do for myself.

Zinc plays a crucial role in my journey. I can't find any better supplement than this. Reliable performance, reasonable price, no side effects.
Probiotics (Primal Defense), sadly, our relationship is not that good. I take only 2 pills per week. It causes some small pimples pop up. Luckily, because of too low dosage, I remain intact. So while it has substantial benefits to my gut. I contemplate including it in the next purchase or not.
Milk thistle has yet to arrive. I will take the same approach as I do with Probiotics. Low, manageable dose.

Any progress or unusual happens? @Guillermo97& @Jikasa

P.S. Hey I heard that collagen (again, supplement) can help repair acne damages (scar, hyperpigmentation), AHA (topical) too. A beauty blogger recommends taking it for one month then stop. Every year do it two to three times.What do you guys think?

Haha. I think both work. Epsom salt exfoliates dead skin cells & give you some minerals. Try to add a little (just a little) to you morning glass of water. This helps alkalize your system as well. Collagen is famous for its benefits in the beauty industry. I don't know the side effects yet, but it's worth to add it to the routine to enhance skin healing process. Just don't overdose it. 

A quick update: my usual routine
1. morning facial cleanser + toner /
2. afternoon splash face with cold water to remove excess oil + in late afternoon splash again (I feel soft, light & my skin is more easier to exhale)
3. evening or nigh: facial cleanser + toner. If I feel heavy on face, I splash with cold water again
yesterday & the day before: I forgot to do step 2 :( boom, now a pimple appears. I am underestimate the oil. Just to remind you guys to keep your oil in check. Spashing face with water make me feel refreshing but a little bit inconvenient (I hate to use my hand touch my face because it is full of bacteria) I am thinking about purchasing a oil absorbing sheet but afraid that it will aggravate the oil production.

FOR FUCK SAKE IM SO FUCKING MAD RIGHT NOW!!!! My skin was having so much progress...

Then cold as shit weather came (-25 deg+), then guess what... My skin quality is shit and redness is back :( 

its fucking annoying i want to play hockey and get fresh air but i cant, the dry cold weather ruins my skin... I guess ill stay inside for a few days to let it calm down :)

@shmilyM youre so lucky to be able to use anything on your face, i cant use anything or i get clogged pores/redness. I dont even have oily skin, in fact i cant even see one deposit of oil on my face, its just dey as hell :(.

I think im gonna try aloe vera as its said to have proprieties for both dry/acne skin, is good for redness irritation, and doesnt clog pores.. I will go to health store as soon as possible

also started back nofap for all benefits. And wow at you guys @Jikasa @shmilyM so proud of your progress!!! Gives me discipline to stick to it :) Day 3 tommorow. How your skin going guys??

Guys,a little bit of positivity, im beggining an acupuncture treatment (ancient chinese medecine) in 12 hours.

Its really promising as it can cure most of the times skin problems (eczema,acne..). My parents tried it for allergies and apnea and it worked for them, so im really excited.
Basically i need to take at least 3-4 sessions to see a difference and healing.

Wish me luck :D

Wish you luck. Due to hot weather, I feel oily on all over my face.
Probiotics won't help much. Milk Thistle is so so. I only rely on Zinc now.
Ancient Chinesemedicine contains many powerful herbs. In my country, in the old day, when people got sick, they often resorted to Chinese Medicine. But the taste is bitter, awful (black color liquid). Wish you look again. Remember to track your progress and "do it" moderately as a normal, balanced routine lifestyle has an essential place in your final result of treatment.

Hello guys,

a little update, i had my first session and it went pretty well, but its effect will be after 3 or more sessions. Also im trying cutting out gluten as i find i dont get inflammed pimples anymore cutting that out.

Lastly, its winter in here and i still suffer with dry skin at the moment.. I have a moisturizer that doesnt clog my pores so i moght need to use that.

Keep trying Guillermo97.

About my progress, now I only use Zinc & Probiotics. I quit Milk Thistle (2 big acnes on the temple area), a one very big near the nose area, after consuming milk product & eggs with vegetable oil which really irritates me now (tmr is my country lunar new year, gathering & reunion time). Probably not only masturbation causes acne but also diet/food intake is a cause too.

One interesting fact after finishing the Antifragile book, the author recommended that we do not go against Mother Nature, consider Paleo diet & sometimes eat only veggie for a particular period as a ritual to create the nutrition deprivation condition (stressors) in your body so after that you will enhance your absorption ability. Nature, organic is the best.

I don't remember how long have I been refrained from "doing it" but I can guarantee once I go back, it will make me miserable (acne, acne & acne).

What to do next? I don't know.

Hello, guys, how is it going with your experiment? I'd love to hearing some updates from you guys @Guillermo97 and @Jikasa
Well, I have a good news and a bad news. FYI
Good news: search and purchase "triple detox tea" (a yellow box, Chinese herbs type). It greatly reduces minor acnes (related to food sensitive aka eating bad foods - purify liver, blood, partly harmonize hormones fluctuation - natural). I saw improvement on the 4th day. Confirmed safe. No side effect. Now is the 19th day. 
Bad news (pretty painful): no matter what supplement I use (milk thistle, probiotics, neem, indian herbs), masturbation still makes me break out :(ranging from 3 to 6 acnes. I can only slightly mitigate the effect by continuing to use Zinc & Triple detox tea (I find two of them effective). I think my hormone level rises like mad after "doing it" (1-5 days - I feel hot, my temperature rises, when I splash my face with cold water, I feel the temperature spreads to the water and make it warmer - I do sense and feel it). 
Haiz, keep trying.
