Resolved Question

Does anyone find using no face wash/scrub improves their skin?

Over the crimbo period i did'nt really bother much with my skin care routine which i usually do. I was just caught up in the hype of christmas and didnt really have time but i saw a really nice improvement in my skin. I had no spots whatsoever and usually when i use a face wash, toner and moisturiser my skin feels soft but is spotty.

does anyone else find that no products is actually better or not?

thats because youre giving your pores a break. the same thing happens to me. however, it is still good to use a pore-cleansing facial wash occasionally (ever 2 or 3 days) to help break up dirt thats invisible to the eye. on days when your not using one, regular soap should work fine.

• i think it could work for normal/sensitive skin. but skin such as dry/combination/oily may need it to get rid of dry or oily areas. in the long run its better to use products because if tou ever decide to use them again you could get a reaction after not using products for so long. also , bacteria could build up over time and cause excess sensitivy or spots. i wanted to go with no products but my cousin tried and when she went back to using products she was allergic to nearly everything .
  but i think it could work for a short amount of time , or people with pretty good skin anyway that doesnt need much treating. i think also it could the break from bad prodcuts that improves skin . i believe that all the skin needs are some specific gentle, natural , water based products that work for your skin type :)
• YES!
  Sometimes anyway!
  
  My skin looks its best if I do an extremely long and tiring skin routine (involving steaming, face masks, exfoliation, the works!) , however it looks pretty damn decent if left to its own devices!

• What face wash were you using? I don't like any that contain chemicals as they tend to block the pores in your skin and cause all sorts of problems.
  
  I used to use everything to try and get rid of spots, all the big and top named brands.
  
  But the cheapest one was the best, and it may sound crazy, but here it is;
  
  Dove soap, sensitive or normal it doesnt matter.
  Salvon antiseptic cream as moisturer.
  
  For oily area at bedtime, use a dab of baby powder.
• Yeah, it's better for your skin not washing it everyday, because this strips away natural oils, making your skin produce waaaay more, i.e spots.
  
  I use a gentle cleanser ONCE a day (at night) and a light moisturiser, then wash my face with water in the morning, then moisturise again, and i get hardly any spots :)
• I do...I find my skin looks better when it's left to itself.
  I've done tests, 3 weeks without, then 3 weeks with face wash; i've repeated this about 3 times and i've found my skin it considerably better without and face wash
• I wash my face twice everyday & yea there are days when I'm busy one night or really tired & i just skip over it & my face will feel better. I think it's good to take breaks from your facewash every once & while so that your skin can learn to heal on its own.
• Yes washing my face with just warm water and nothing else added actually helps.
  
  I don't use cleansers at all, but I have no running hot water in my house so sometimes I have to use cleansing wipes.
• Same here. My skin is super sensitive, too much can provoke acne.
