Decided to do the caveman regimen.

Title says it all, if you don't know what the caveman regimen is, it is basically where you do absolutely nothing to your face at all...no cleaners, no moisturiers, not even water. I know it may sound crazy or even disgusting to some people but I've struggle with terribble acne for years buying expensive products, trying crazy fad skincare rountines, natural remedies, just everything. And now I'm just starting to realize maybe using all these skincare products and unnatural things to my face is what's been causing my bad skin all along. So I've decided to take the plunge n do the caveman regimen that basically goes by the basis to let your skin do its own thing and repair itself with its own natural oils and chemistry. I've read up on it done plenty of research and heard so many success stories of people who have done it and it has majorly improved their skin practically eliminating their acne reducing all redness turning oily skin into normal beautiful skin and giving them the freedom of having the best skin of their lives. I have commited to doing this for a month and if everything works out to continue doing it as my regular routine. I don't really care for people telling me its wrong or a bad idea because I honestly have nothing to lose..if I break out and it doesn't work its not like its going to be the first time something hasnt cleared my skin or made it worse but if it truly does work itll be worth everything to me.. so for anyone interested in knowing more just comment and ill probably do updates probably every 10 days out the month to update those interested...wish me luck...if you want to know more about the caveman regimen just look it up!

This sounds interesting... So you said not even water so I'm curious, are you not going to wear makeup as well? :)

I honestly think its a good idea my aunt had severe acne & when she joined the military she didn't do anything to her face they weren't allowed makeup moisturizers anything except a cleanser they provided which was just like regular soap & the point is she did nothing to her face except splash water on it & 3 months after she said she had the most beautiful skin she ever dreamed of so maybe it works! Goo luck I'm definitely interested & I hope it works for you too!

How will you shower w/o getting water on your face? Kinda werid q, but just wondering.

Rissa G.

I was also wondering that, Maggie.

Maye just bathes? I would want to try this, but I'm sooooooo prone to milia, not being able to exfoiliate would make my skin look like a nighmare.

Maybe. I think I'm the only female who is not okay with baths hahah! Please do, do updates PinkE! This is interesting. My boyfriend always says "all the crap you put on your face is what's not helping it", lol! Excited to see if he's right.

Yeah, exfoiliation is a must for me. After trying the oil cleansing method which ruined my skin, these "fad type" skin clearing methods just don't appeal to me.

@renay no I won't be wearing makeup which I think for me will be the hardest part being that I'm a daily heavy makeup wearer but for good skin that is only a small sacrifice...@maggie I take baths now but in college ill probably just have to lean back and try my best to keep as little water from touching my face.

Renay- I ony take baths when I am sore from working out or something. Otherwise, getting in hot water just makes me wanna pass out lol. I get woozy(I don't know if that is a word but I'm using it.)

Please keep us updated :).

As for steam from the shower I don't think thatll be enough to mess with the results and I really hope it works for me...ill definitly update you guys thou.

I don't think steam from the shower should be too bad! Unless your baths are scalding the steam is comparable to a humid country

I have never washed my face with soap or anything and as gross as it sounds I don't wash my face in the nights either but I do take my makeup off with my aveeno lotion. I always shower in the mornings and wash my face with nothing but water while I am wetting my hair, and I think I have pretty good skin like of course I get the occasional hormonal pimples but nothing major

I feel like stopping makeup would have more of an effect than whatever this method is. I wonder if perhaps THAT is the reason people see results, rather than any difference in hygiene.

I've already explained my views on this in another thread, but I will wish you luck in this endeavor.

I've had terrible acne way before I started wearing makeup so wearing it really hasnt changed anything...also since I've been out of college for the summer I havent worn makeup at all and my skin still breaks out just as bad even though I've been fresh faced.

I personally don't really wash my face. I'll do it in the shower (usually shower twice a week), but that's about it. I've never had an actual face cleaning routine because I'm lazy & forgetful lol. works fine for me, though. good luck! hope it works out for you :)

Yeah but when your done with it, and you start wearing makeup again, won't your skin just go back to normal? This would be good for before a big event though (if it works)

Good luck to you! I tried it last year and it did absolutely nothing for my face... BUT I hope that it does work for you so you don't have to struggle with skin imperfections!

Yes please keep us updated. If it works for you I might just do it as well! (:

@ karina if it works for my skin ill have no need to go back to wearing pounds of foundation and other makeup...thou I probably will wear maybe lipstick or a little eye makeup but as for anything else that will be a thing of the past
