The Modified Caveman Regimen

koshin (55)in #beauty • 9 years ago

I was one of those many women who is not so lucky about having an almost flawless or flawless face. Maybe I was lucky during my puberty stage because I did not have any worst breakout. From what I can remember, I only get one to three occasional bumps during my period. It is only last September 2016 when I had the worst acne breakout in my life.

Adult acne is one of the worst nightmare anyone could have. It can stress you out, gives you feeling of insecurities and anxiety that each time you go out, you always thought of people to only notice your acne and that is terrible and depressing.

I came across a video in YouTube as I was researching for some remedy online. It was something about the Caveman Regimen wherein you will stop washing your face for a period of time to restore the acid mantle that protects your skin naturally from irritants and bacteria causing pimples. After knowing this, I researched about the people who tried this method and surprisingly it is all over online and these people have positive results mostly.

I was already a bit desperate to find a cure for my severe acne and in the state of "very ready to jump off a cliff", lol. I also did try to incorporate some Korean skincare regimen since most of my friends are having good results in maintaining their good skin, it even improved theirs.

I do not want to gross you out guys by posting a Before and After photo. I will just post the later but maybe in the comment section if someone requests that photo of mine, I might post it below. I will just refer you to the latest picture of me HERE.

To make the long story short, I did try it out since July 17, 2017 and YES! I can swear to it that it works but here is what I did instead, I still feel like the full blown Caveman Regimen is too much for me. I do not think I can not wash my face especially when I am in the shower so what I did is I only wash my face with water, just water.

I wash my face when it feels like oily or dirty. By the way, I have a sensitive and an oily skin type so not washing my face totally for months would be difficult. I am not so fond about wearing make up too and since I do not go out that often, this what made me decide to try the regimen more, the modified caveman regimen.

When I have to go out and need to wear some light makeup, instead of using soap to wash it off, I use honey instead. Before I splash my face with water, I gently rub or masssage some honey in an upward circular motion and rinse it with cold or luke warm water. I do not have any issues about it after that, I pat dry my face with a paper towel and I do not see any residue of makeup anymore, I must probably have mastered that way of cleansing hehe.

Anyway, the caveman regimen is such a blessing information for me. I no longer worry about checking my face breaking out. I never had some worst purging stage like some people who tried it, it is not over a month yet but I hope I won't have any purging phase. I no longer have major breakouts, I only get 1-2 whiteheads in m y nose area that goes away quickly within 2 days.

It is almost a month now and so far, I am loving my water only face wash or the Modified Caveman Regimen. If you have any questions regarding my experience about this regimen, please feel free to drop me a line below. Thanks for reading.
