bump!
in the last 5 days i've had one tiny tiny white head that you'd have to be 5 inches from my face to see (I have not had anything come up in my past problem areas for a week). this is after walking a few miles every other day, sweating a lot, and spending nearly an hour each of the past two days around the pool. I also went out on Saturday, had a few drinks, chased some tail, and danced the night away.
For you sexually actives/masturbators I recommend doing it first thing in the morning (as opposed to before bed) every other day and then chugging the water followed by the lime a half hour later. My theory is that this will allow hormones to be flushed out throughout the day rather than keeping them inside while you are asleep. Wacky theory? Perhaps, but i've been sticking to it the past week+ and is when the results really started to come in. I feel that I am at a point where I don't even know if washing my face is needed now (this is crappy city water I use too which I was paranoid about using in the first place). Please at least try a few of my tips, guys.
and i duno why my other pics aren't up anymore but here is another one ..this time with flash and (still) unedited.
alright guys so I haven't been on here in a couple months.. i now get maybe one zit a week (if that). I now do my splashes twice a day (morning+night) rather than three times a day. The key I think though for me now to maintain my results has been reducing sex/masturbation. Now I will masturbate/have sex 'only' once a week. despite this though i need to figure out how to be able to surf again without breaking out (went last week for three straight days while being clear and broke out in little white heads the following days after - i think the sea salt just dries my skin out too much at this time - now i've been 100% clear again for the past four days since not going). anyways.. biggest tip i can give now is to reduce masturbation/sex and to not look at porn, especially past a certain time of day or you'll go to bed horny and probably have a wet dream. Wish you guys luck.. I think i'm now in my 7th month of using water only.
note: It was my 24th bday yesterday and i'm sure my hormones are a bit more controlled now, but if I go on a wild sex binge, i'll no doubt break out ha ha.
..and one last thing: fk you, acne - you were a b!ch !
I have now incorporated a washcloth into my regimen for the past month - something I wish I would have done from day 1. Every 4 days I will use a wet washcloth and press/brush/scrub in a downward (not up side to side etc - just down) motion all over my face. Loving the results. The rest of the days I still just splash water on my face twice a day. Washcloths are where it's at I tell you. You might purge using one for a bit, but stick to it. Creams and all that stuff do not do a simple washcloth justice. My suspicion is that the creams trained my skin to make more and more dead skin that when I stopped using them, a while ago, I kept getting a crazy amount of flaky/dry/dead skin alas clogged pores. This is where the washcloth comes in Good luck and if you wish to go the washcloth route (highly recommended) do it in moderation! (1-2x a week).
