So I™ve decided to do the caveman regimen. This is a last resort for me. I™m a 21 yr old female, I™ve had acne since I was 13. I™ve been to the dermatologist about 5 times. I™ve been put on different creams and have taken different pills. I™ve also tried facials and changed my diet to a healthier one about three years ago. I feel as though I™ve tried about everything, except accutane. My acne isn™t that bad. It™s not cystic, it™s never been cystic. I get small Whitehead™s all over my face though. My whole face looks bumpy, and feels that way too (I don™t have much acne on my chest or back). Even when I took pills these bumps would never completely go away. The rest of my family has never had acne, they get the occasional pimple, but nothing like what I™ve got. I heard about this no wash regimen about a year ago, but I never tried it because I was nervous. Now that it™s summer, I thought I™d give it a try. What™s the harm this could do anyway? So I started this regimen 25 days ago. The first week was hard. My skin looked fine, there wasn™t any major differences. What was hard was how bad my face itched. I also felt gross going to bed without using anything on my face. I also felt a bit dry. The second week is when I started to see the dead skin mask, mainly on my chin. My forehead almost completely cleared up, it was amazing. My cheeks were the main problem, new little Whitehead™s had started to appear. These Whitehead™s would go away pretty fast, within a day or two. My skin still itched like crazy. I got my monthly cycle and my chin did get two normal sized pimples. These pimples went away within three or four days. Now I™m on week three. My skin still itches like crazy. In fact, I think the itching is worse? I think this might be because it™s healing? I feel like this week has just been a big purge, my Whitehead™s are small, but red, so it makes my face looks red and spotty. My forehead is starting to get some small bumps like it had before. My chins dead skin mask is beginning to peal off naturally, the skin underneath looks smooth. I™ve had a hard time looking in the mirror this week, and I™ve also began to have doubts. I only have three more days until it has been a month, and I can™t see any huge improvements. I™ve heard this takes more than a month to start seeing results, but I™m not sure if I™m that patient  I™m going to try and stick it out for as long as I can. Although my skin is itchy and spotty at the moment, I feel like this is better to when I washed it with different soaps. For the first time in years I™m letting my skin breathe and do it™s own thing. I™m not sure if this regimen is for me, but trying it out hasn™t cost me anything, or made my skin worse so I don™t regret it. I started this log because I™ve lost a bit of hope, and I feel like making a log will help me stick to this. I think I need to give this regimen more time. I™m on day 25 right now, I™ll make another log in a couple days. This has all been a bit brief, with my logs I plan to go into more detail.
