Skincare 2.0

Having perused a number of acne-healing articles, I finally found something interesting. The Caveman regimen. It's not even a regimen, it's nothing at all. It's not doing anything to your face whatsoever. I'm going to try it. Having washed, scrubbed, exfoliated, and oiled my face for so long with few results, I think it will be nice not doing anything. 

It's true that my acne has decreased thanks to my chaste tree and echinacea routine, plus a better diet. But it's not totally gone. I still got three new painful blemishes at this menstrual cycle, and my blocked pores are still present, very stubborn. 

So here we go, on to absolutely nothing. Not even getting my face wet. It couldn't hurt to try, and it's totally free. I'm already washing my hair at longer and longer intervals. It seems as though our society is obsessed with washing and germ-killing, to no particular advantage. Possibly even to our detriment. I am excited to be breaking free of such conventions, it's really liberating and fun. And frugal.

We need a return to certain conventions, of course, like no sex before marriage, and the like, but when it comes to everyday things we do without thinking, like constant hair-washing with chemical shampoos, or watching TV every night, those things can go away. Good riddance!
