@ evasion.   Thanks for sharing your experiences! I think you should try washing with just water only and see if that works out 4 ya. I believe you mentioned you were clear using Neutrogena Fac...

bumpity bump bump.

Day 76 with tons of dead skin and no significant improvements yet.   yepican did you remove the dead skin already? I seemed to have another skin problem. When a part of my face itch (lets say for...

good to hear Ratsoff. I am currently washing with water once a day at night after my shower to prevent the dead skin from building up. I do not apply any moisturizer at all. As far as shaving goes,...

@ Ratsoff   How u doing?

allright i'm now washing my face with water 1X a day to keep the dead skin off. For the record I went 50 days of not washing (only water in shower) before finally rubbing that dead skin off (which wa...

But if the reward would be a lifetime acne-worry free then it's worth it! XD I'd introduce water to my face once I see no more flaking. Or when I observe that it looks as strong as when I started usi...

I wish Adam08 would come back and tell us how he's doing. i assume he's doing well or else he'd be back here. lol.   Adam said his last post was a long time ago.... I doubt he will return. I tri...

I have come to a theory that even water running down my face 1x a day seriously slows down this healing process. it seems silly, but it seems like that's the way it is. However, I fully intend on no...

a buddy of mine had this said to him by an 8-year old boy a few years ago....   "Is that Chicken Pox on your face?"   I was standing right next to him when the kid said it and I could tell h...

I tried searching for a connection of skin healing and dead skin build up. Nothing came up. No one probably knows about this connection as of now. Well, my dead skin build up has drastically reduced ...

  Thanks for the input bran. I never started intentionally "exfoliating" until last fall, but I only did that for like a 1-month period of time. Three years ago when I went to the derm I got pr...

@iamsnow   welcome back first of all! and secondly thank you for your insight/encouragement. Im afraid u misunderstand my worries tho, Im not "afraid" of water touching my face based on the poss...

This is kind've off topic but in all seriousness..... How do you think quadropolegics (or anyone w/o hands or arms for that matter) wash their face? Or what about a person who is stuck in a hospital ...

RatsOff said: well i still plan on only letting water touch my face maybe once every week and a half to two weeks like i have been doing since i started the regimen. Im disappointed to hea...

@v_singh wow man thanx for the insight! me and u aren't the only ones who have experienced this either, there are several testaments spread out among threads on this site. I bet this is something we ...

i scraped mine off today before i took a shower because when i shaved the dead skin was just ridiculous. I did this with an electric trimmer and it worked well. 90% of the mask is now gone and my face...

Actually I believe that some people are not able to shed skin properly, and this has little or nothing to do with whether or not you wash your face. I feel that I am one of these people; when I was on...

Some members have had good luck with the "no treatment" approach, and they say that it is a result of their skin re-learning how to repair itself properly. I've never had any luck with this approach m...

Dead skin cells on the surface is natural, skin cells die and new cells surface to the top, this is normal skin regeneration. But in order to keep a healthy cell regeneration cycle you need your skin...

Does anyone else have a theory that the reason dead skin builds up is because thats a sign that our skin is healing itself? I mean the only place where dead skin cells build up on my body just so hap...

@yepican well, I won't be surprised that this takes long. Since for me, I have been putting chemicals on my skin face for the last 6 years. Everyday, I wake up with lots of flakes on my face. Some ar...

So I haven't posted in awhile, thus, lots of things have happened since then.   I decided to peel/scrape all the dead skin off my face on Feb. 1st. Why? My brother put me in a headlock and his ...

day 48....the places where dead skin was "pasted on" my face is starting to flake off. Temples, side of cheeks, mustache area, lower chin are back to normal (no flaking, no dead skin). Red marks sti...
