im 28 and have had acne since age 15

i just stopped washing my face daily and started washing once a week.

after a month my complexion is completely clear and i look 100% better

wtf are the jews putting in the soap?

Have you ever considered getting yourself tested for allergies?

Nice digits. Or you're drying out your skin and it's over compensating by producing too much oil. Hence, acne.

no, i also stopped showering daily and i no longer smell like BO and shit by noon every day

why the fuck do ppl think its good to completely strip your dermis of EVERYTHING daily?

Because most people jack off at least once a day and don't want to smell like crusty semen when they go into work.

i dont jack off i cant look myself in the mirror if i furiously jerk my penis in a corner of my apartment.

completely fucking sad

I don't wash my hair daily but I like to just hope in the shower and get it soaked.

It doesn't matter what the fuck I do though, my family have height but we lose our hair in our 20's-30's because memes

I wash my hair monthly. You stop producing so much oil when you dont strip it off all the time. Takes like 3 weeks for my hair to get oily. I still rinse it well every shower though

My acne somehow resurged MASSIVELY the week before thanksgiving, I'm talking the worst since high school(i'm 23), and its been this way ever since. I've been washing my face at least twice a day with cleanser and acne wash but it has been impossible to get rid of.

I have no fucking idea what made it come back and I can't get it to go away.

Also I only beat off once every few days or so so it's not that.

When did it first start?

stress of seeing the sister you fucked when she was 10 again and afraid she'll call you out in front of everyone

I've had acne since I was 14, but the last year or so it has pretty much been the occasional 1

The week before thanksgiving I noticed a breakout around my temples on both sides of my face, and since then for the last 5 weeks or so it has been TREMENDOUSLY bad, mostly around the temples but some down the sides of my face and neck.

You were de-oiling your skin too much and your skin overproduces oil as a result, causing acne. Next time use facial lotion or just use hot water.

Or TALK TO A GODDAMN DERMATOLOGIST INSTEAD OF A MONGOLIAN SHADOWPUPPETING BULLITINBOARD

>another fag who knows nothing about skincare post

Alright let me explain this shit to you.

Every time you wash your face with soap you are washing dirt and any natural oils off.

Therefore, when you get out of the shower or whenever youre done with washing, your body will do one of two things:
1) be dried out because you washed it and stay dry and flaky
2) overcompensate with lots of oils, leading to acne

So what do you do to not let this happen?

After you're done cleansing your face, USE A TONER. Toner will close your pores and not allow dirt, dust etc to get into your pores because they expand after contact with warm water.

Now use a moisturizer. This will give your skin adequate moisture and prevent it from being too dry or too oily.

And the best part is that this doesn't even have to be expensive.

I can't go more than 24 hours without a shower these days. Gf says I absolutely wreak if I do.

I had acne pretty bad for many years and there was nothing i could do to get rid of it and got depressed and gave up. I used to drink a lot of milk and ended up giving it up for other reasons and my acne disappeared. I wish i had fucking known milk could cause acne i would have stopped drinking it sooner.

>I stopped showering once a day and now I don't smell
you need to see a dermatologist - something is quite fucked up with your skin

your skin produces protective oil to keep itself clean and you were washing that natural barrier off for 18 years.

all it needs is an occasional rinse with water.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of diet did you have?

>yes goyim, you should shower everyday. i cant imagine how you could possibly have improved by not showering

>soap
Use water for your face you retard

>Samefagging this hard
Just fucking kill yourself
-random Sup Forums faggot-

dump her ass

If you aint goanna talk about politics just end your life.

Guess what, to the rest of the world you smell. Pick a different shampoo or something, but not bathing isn't the answer.

Here's a your (------).

Not good m8 I probably drink too much, eat too much pizza, but that part has been consistent for a while now.

oh wow i thought is only me, i stopped using those skin care like acne cream/soap, i just wash my face with water everyday and now no more acne

yeah this OP, i visit ear nose and throat specialist here, she's says i have a lot oil on my skin (she said that from my dirty ear wax) and i'm telling to dermatology she's said the same i don't need excess cleaning like acne cream/soap.

Could be stress, especially in relation to the holiday season.

>went throughout HS with NO acne
>around 19-20
>started small
>now I get these huge cystic zits that take a week at least to go away
>usually come out 1 or 2 at a time
>the next day as soon as they're gone, new ones sprout

I don't get it, I don't know what to do.

Same thing happened to me. Tried all kinds of skincare products, none of them did anything. Stopped drinking milk, never had a single zit again. It's not a dairy thing because I eat all kinds of cheese and stuff no problem. Just milk.

I know what it is you suffer from. Hot water. It removes natural oils from pores while leaving them open to whatever else that can come in to replace the natural oil unless you closed them with cold water. To avoid this simply take mildly cool/warm showers/baths. I had the same problem and this saved me a lot of time and effort, hope it helps. Also you're a nigger.

Nothing out of the ordinary, you're just removing too much skin oil by washing too vigorously. Don't use soap except for your pits.

>28 with acne since 15
>""""""""""100% gone""""""""""
>falling for this bait

And what this guy says.

You're using shitty soap that dries your skin and causes it to overproduce sebum.
This in turn caused your acne outbreaks.

I don't wash my face and 95% of the time never have zits. Even the ones I get pop so easy and leave no marks.

My nephew who is close to my age however uses this expensive face wash shit. He is always covered in zits and not little ones but big red ones that you cant pop.

I used to use acne products when I was younger and I always fucking had big angry zits.
Minute I stopped using that shit (Ex gf told me to stop) all my zits vanished.

Use your """"free"""" healthcare system and talk to a skin doctor.

>wtf are the jews putting in the soap?
Uh, soap?
Here's the skinny
Your skin has bacteria similar to your gut called probiotics. These are good for you. Taking antibiotics for an infection kill off this bacteria in your gut the same way as washing the probiotic bacteria off your face.

We've lived with these "germs" forever. Either the germs killed us and we didn't reproduce or we killed them and they didn't reproduce. Beneficial bacteria stayed and are with us today.

What is a toner?

Also I don't have acne, but my skin gets oily in the afternoon. If I don't use a moisturizer, it gets too dry, but at the same time moisturizers don't seem to prevent my skin from getting oily. What gives? Should I use something else?

I already only use warm water/organic facial cleanser/cold water in the morning and warm water/cold water at night. Each time followed by an organic moisturizer. (Organic to avoid xenoestrogens)

You only smell if you sweat a lot. And most people don't really need to shower everyday. A damp washcloth scrubbed over armpits/crotch/feet is honestly enough.

>You only smell if you sweat a lot.
Nah m8. Smell is caused by the bacteria on your body. It builds and builds until you wash. You might be so used to it that you dont notice. Dont be one of those people.

There is such a thing as overwashing, but I suspect your problem is in your head. I suspect it's stress brought on by a lot of frustration and utter lack of fulfillment due to a shitty disposition.
