Hey, Im 16 years young and have been suffering from moderate acne since the beginning of high school, about 3 years. Ive tried so many prouducts that i cant even remember. I remember last year during the winter i was washing my face once a day at night. I was using a cleanser then a moisturizer. My acne basically disappeared. I was soo happy, but then it came back full force during the following months. Ive gotten so hopeless. My skin gets dry super easy. I recently stumbled across "The caveman regimen", which is where you dont wash your face at all. I would just let the water hit my face when i would shower, which is every other day. Im on day 7 of this and my skin is DRY. its so dry that i can see a layer of dead skin on my face. it feels stiff and dry. Its been getting a bit cold so idk if that can contribute to my dry skin as well. But i think i am going to stop this regimen and start washing my face again and using a moisturizer. Ive also heard that most moisturizers can actually dry out your skin even more so im quite scared and stressed. I dont know what to do what moistrizers and face washes do you guys recommend.
Cave man stuffed my face around bad. Took months to get it back.
If you have normally dry skin or dermatitis it can cause a yeast build up and not pretty. Skin looks ok first few weeks because of the dryness covering your face but I don't really think it's a good idea for anyone with really bad skin issues. Just my experience so don't let me turn you off it. Yes cavemen didnt wash there face but they probably looked like shit.
