It’s been just over three months since I stopped washing my face and stopped letting water touch it too.
This means no washing, no soap, no water, no cleanser, no toner, no honey, no jojoba oil, no moisturizer, no sunscreen, and hardly any makeup aside from an occasional dab. Nothing. I do nothing to my skin.

So far, I am so stoked on this regimen. It’s done some wonderful stuff for my skin and acne.
The first month wasn’t so great… my face got very blotchy, dry, bumpy, and very flakey. But I took it as a sign of healing, and, luckily – it was. My skin has only gotten better and better over time – it’s no longer flakey or dry. It’s very smooth. The congestion and whiteheads I usually had on my forehead is gone. The amount of inflamed acne has reduced significantly, and if I do get a bit of acne, it seems to be much smaller, not nearly as red or obvious… it seems like it “blends” in better with my skin and isn’t so “angry” looking. And the small acne that does pop up here and there also goes away VERY quickly compared to before and so do the red marks. Like practically by the next day the pimple will be gone, and by the day after that, the red mark will be gone too.
