This is my first ever CZcams video where I talk (beyond an intro for a cover), & I'm so excited to share this one with you!! Skincare has been a longtime passion for me, & I'm so thankful I have reached a place to be able to share some advice with you in terms of how I cleared my skin.
DISCLAIMER: I am by no means a dermatologist or skincare professional, everything I say is based on firsthand experience, ensure that you do your own research too.
A REMINDER THAT YOU ARE WORTHY AS YOU ARE NOW, NOT AS YOU SHOULD BE LATER.
All my love, xoxo

I stopped washing my face completely last year (reduced to once a week) and my cystic acne completely cleared like a miracle. I stopped using products, makeup, creams, and my skin is now the best it has ever been. I have saved a tonne of money and I'm also saving the environment. I now don't believe in lies the beauty industry tells us. They profit off our insecurities and our society makes us feel we are not good enough. We are enough, ladies (and men). We are enough.
Love this comment!! Cannot agree enough! The beauty industry profits off of women’s insecurities & endless pursuit of perfection. It’s life changing to realise that less is more! ❤️
So do you only rinse with water or nothing at all?
@@fanibuni generally just water using my microfibre face cloth
@@robynsturgess7495 oh ok thanks
do you use sunscreen?
I never started breaking out until I started washing my face. Now that I stopped my acne has cleared majorly and doesn’t leave marks anymore.
Yay friend!
Just a qst.. when u use sunscreen do u remove it only with water?!
@@hanouma6903preferably micellar water.❤️
very interesting. ive been sick for a few days so i didnt feel like washing my face and tada! its never been so clear before. i feel like the inflammation has gone down a lot.
Crazy right?! 😱 I’ll be interested to hear how things are going after a month or so 🎉
I’ve just uploaded a follow up video regarding moisturizers & skincare if you’d like to check it out. ☺️☺️
I had horrible acne for decades.. I got facials regularly, bought expensive high end face cleansers, got chemical peels, and even took Accutane and the only thing that completely cleared my skin was to wash my face with Luke warm water only.. I use pure hemp oil to remove my mascara and moisture around my eyes but that's it.
No oil or moisturizer or sunscreen??
@@rachaelrachael7440 I only use hemp oil and petroleum jelly around my eyes because the skin around that area does not produce enough oil also known as sebum
Hi, is this still working for you? Hope to hear!
@@user-gc3rv6jw3n yes it is... And sometimes I also use unscented petroleum jelly or raw Shea butter for a sunscreen
yes!! i use sweet almond oil to remove my makeup with a cloth and then just rinse with water!
I've been subjecting my self to all sorts of experimentation to put some of the highly spoken skincare claims to the test, i figured since i have naturally oily skin i would be a good candidate. Testing the claim that dirt and sebum buildup causes acne, honestly, i didn't see any link between an oily dirty face and the frequency of acne, in fact i even went so far as using the same pillowcase for two months, yep that's right...I went months without any morning or night routine at all, only shower, that's it, while my face would feel dirty and greasy sometimes, it wasn't that bad for the most part, even in the summer, spite all the hell my skin went through it stayed acne free, even my skin tone was actually really good, i no longer use anything else than sunscreen and generic micellar to get it off, the hell with the rest, my skin is excellent now, the skincare industry acts as if our skin is completely inept to care for it self in every step of the way which is frankly nonesense.
Could not agree more!!
that's amazing! do u use moisturizer after micellar water?
Thank you for sharing your story! My hormonal acne is worsening with age. It started when I was 15 and at 25 my chin, forehead and cheeks are full of acne scars from the coming and going of acne during my period. I am trying to wash only with water, exfoliate gently with a soft towel, and keep my skin moisturized with jojoba and argan oils and some gentle moisturizers. My skin is improving already. Hearing your story has reassured me I am on the right path to healthy skin. Thank you, Robyn!
Thank you for your comment! I absolutely love hearing improvement/success stories! ❤️ (ps. I’m pro-oils too! Jojoba is so good!) Yayy!! 🤗
@@robynsturgess7495 of course! I am also considering making an appointment because though my acne has improved, it is definitely hormonal more than anything else. If you have a video on your experience, I would check it out! Have a happy New Year! ✌🏾
Thank you for sharing Robyn. I substitute tap water for bottled water or just give it a wipe with a bit of oil and a sponge to avoid the fluoride compounds in the tap water
I started doing the same as you one month ago! The second week i had a big breakout but now my skin looks better than i has been looking for 10 yrs
This kind of comment makes me the HAPPIEST girl in the world!!!! 🎉🎉 Congratulations beautiful. 💕
Do you moisturise? Is so what do you use?
Thank you ❤️ for sharing your experience with us ☺️
Actually a healthy skin can clean itself
Even can clean death skin without any exfoliator
Robyn, I went and bought fragrance free face wash the other day - first time in my life I ever used such a product. Result: my skin is super irritated and red and feels like having a sunburn! I think the Sodium Laureth Sulfate, the stuff that makes the face wash foam, is the culprit as I've heard a dermatologist say that the foaming ingredient can cause irritation for some people. Lesson learned...Thank you for a very informative video. You're gorgeous and have great skin!
Thank you for the lovely comment! ☺️You could be very right about the Sodium Laurel Sulfate, generally foaming face washes can be over drying & most likely due to that ingredient. If you do opt for a fragrance free face wash I recommend a cleansing “milk” (without fragrance & SLS) instead, as it won’t be drying. ☺️
@@robynsturgess7495 Thanks for your advice, Robyn. I actually used a cleansing lotion for years before I ever tried a face wash. I'll be going back to my old routine and will use the face wash in the shower instead. :-)
Any update your redness irritation go away
@@robynsturgess7495 Aveeno now makes an oat-based facial cleanser that is supposed to be extremely gentle.
So you do you not wet ur face in the shower? What do you do
After exercising and stuff . Do you never let water touch your face ?
I have been using plain water and my skin is looking great.
tips from an esthetician.. foaming cleansers can actually strip your skin and can worsen the acne i would recommend washing with a gel non foaming cleanser once at night time ps you are really pretty !! :)
Amazing & could not agree more!! ❤️ Thank you so much, so are you!
You talk really sweetly 👑❤
This is one of the sweetest comments 🥺🥺 Thank you friend! 💜💜
For me it worked when i stoped cleansing and using most products.I wash my face 5 times a day and aply sun protection.And at night after i washed my face i aply a moisturazer with aloe vera and hyaluronic acid.I have such a clear skin now😍😍
5x a day what do you use?
Just try different things to see what works best for your skin. I washed my face for a while with only water, this caused my skin to be bumpy af and just look rough. Then i started using cleanser and moisturizer and now i look alot smoother.
we have different skin types
I'm gonna try this been struggling with pimples for years now..... recently I started applying a clove and flaxseed gel mask on my face, and I can see some improvements, the pimples are reducing in size and the marks are slowly fading. Going to stop washing my face with soap and water, rather will just be wiping my face with clove water. Hope its works.
I haven't used face wash now for a few years, my skin looks better now than when I was cleansing. I was using CeraVe hydrating cleanser
same!!
All Cerave cleansers irritate my skin. Just water cleanse is the way forward
Do you moisturise? Is so what do you use?
@@Jay-fv6xo I just use water on my face then pat dry my face so it's still damp and I use Cetaphil moisturizing cream in the jar with the green cap
@@jessie9653 ooo nice I have that cetaphil cream, I will try this. Thanks for the quick reply😄
I don't know how to feel about this, especially all the money I have spent on acne products 😫 I have noticed a huge difference between wearing makeup and no makeup. I haven't wore makeup since 2017! Other than Mascara and a little Lippy. I have gone like days without washing my face just because of depression reasons I just had no motivation to take care of myself hygiene wise. My acne was okay, I've noticed my acne gets bad because of the way I sleep, if you find yourself sleeping on your face, you need to change your pillowcase more often, and because sometimes I drool a lot, I would wake up with dry spit around my mouth, TMI but I fixed by sleeping upright on my back so I'm not on my side drooling on my pillow. I know it sounds so annoying but drinking water is literally the key to everything, what you eat and drink comes through your pores. I know it's a struggle, it definitely has been for me, to cut out greasy, oily and deep fried foods but it does help a lot. I try to cut down eating junk food by only having a few goodies on Saturday, my cheat days. I also made it a new year resolution to not have any soda! And it's been 4 months so far and my skin is a bit better. I will give this no washing face thing a try to see how it turns out. And use the micellar water. I just don’t know what to do with all the products I've already bought.
Thank you for your comment! ❤️ Ahh it seems like you’ve found a routine that works for you & that’s the most important thing! I would say keep doing what you’re doing & don’t throw all the skincare out yet. Keep using what works for you & give the micellar water a try. ☺️
Ever notice how your skin looks flawless when you are sick with a fever?
I have broken out so much that I would feel so insecure and always wake up saying “I won’t put too much product on my skin I will only do water” and I would feel dirty and wash my face with face wash and over exfoliate and face masks on a daily to the point where my skin was red and inflamed, I stopped doing any of the sort a week ago and my skin has improved so much with just washing my face with water and patting dry with and towel along with simple hydrating light moisture 2 times a day ( day and night) 🙂
My story is basically the exact same!! Always thought over-washing would clear my acne, boy was I wrong. 😂
@@robynsturgess7495 omg yes haha that’s what I meant! I always felt that if I over cleanse my skin the spots will go overnight! Bad bad idea 🤣
Hey lovely :) beautiful video thank you. Do you apply anything ever removing make up? like moisturizer and retinol etc?
Hey hey! 💐 I currently use Cerave SPF 50 daily facial moisturiser. ☺️ Retinol doesn’t really agree with me but I do use Glycolic acid every now & then. Hope that helps! (I also have a newer skincare routine posted if you want to check it out!)!💜
well done ..I rarely but raw water on my skin
Thank you, you encouraged me to use only water. My skin is destroyed because of detergents
Update
@lexie3840 how is your skin now
Hi does it get a bit worse before better and can you use a cleanser at night only please reply as mine is only my forehead
Hi Robyn
Great video. Do you use a moisturizer?? I would like to try this out but want to know if i should use cream still
Hi Sabina! I do, I use Cerave as it’s lightweight & works great under makeup!
miscellar water had surfactant also is a mild cleansing product. compare to other face wash
I noted you mentioned a microfibre cloth and not a face cloth. Is there any specific microfibre cloth you can recommend fro clicks, dischem or any other place in SA?
Takealot has a bunch of microfibre face cloths. But tbh I literally get packs of them from the Chinese stores. ❤️
I don’t wash my face but I use coconut oil and tallow on my face for cleanser and moisturizer - everyone is different ❤️
Dosen't make the facial hair thicker?
Through my trials there was a period of time where my morning routine had water and cleanser but my evening routine was just micellar water. I told my friend about it and she condescendingly told me I should really be using a cleanser. I will be honest if I try this and it works I will be highly tempted to rub it in her face.
@@marcoaltamirano8391 It didn't work. I'm going to the doctor in a week to hopefully get medicine for the hormones that are actually causing the acne.
@@marcoaltamirano8391 Nah this is my personal account so it's not connected to anything. Soz not tryna doxx myself
I suffer from Anxiety and I would get anxious if I didnt wash my face cause my severe acne could get worse . But sometimes I got of work late the last thing I wanted was to wash my face with a cleanser and then moisturize . Doing that everyday was such a chore . I stopped for 1 week now My skin is more matte looking , less oily and My acne is less red . I wash my face like 2 times a week . And I gave up moisturizer I only use hyaloranic acid Every morning , along with toner .
Yay friend! I’m happy you’ve found a routine that works for you 💜💜 I’m sorry about your anxiety, I suffer from it too. Sending you love & light!!
your face looks great!
Thank you so much friend! 💜
U look amazing omg your eyes 🌹
Literally EVERY SINGLE face wash I have used has made my face red and sensitive like a sunburn..I can't even go out without wearing makeup bc my face is so red from face wash...I have used CeraVe, vanicream, Youth to the people, dermalogica, first aid beauty, Cetaphil, etc etc..I have researched ingredients, I have done everything..and I still continue to feel like my skin is stripped ..so this is my last resort
How’s it gone for you?
How is it going Kristen?
Avene milk cleansers or LRP milk hydrating cleanser may be gentler for you skin
@@janamae88 Yes that's what I do. No cleansers at all....just rinse with distilled water. My Derm Doctor friend (I'm not her patient) told me we probably have hard water which has a lot of gunk in it and told me to use distilled water and I love it because a gallon is so cheap. My skin has never looked better.
@@debrajean743 do you use moisturizer?
Ok, it’s not just me! I always just washed my face with water and had perfect skin. About a month ago I stumbled across a dermatologist on CZcams and she convinced me I need to wash my face with cleanser so I bought cerave, ponds, nutrogena and omg! My face is horrible! I have spent so much money cuz I thought it was the type of cleanser that didn’t work..my face is now super dry, red and acne. I need to just stop and go back to not washing again.
👍🏾💕
How is it going now??
Did u do back to no cleanser? I'm gonna try it
update?
@@teknopedia8894 still don’t use cleansers and my skin is perfectly clear 👍 if I do need to remove makeup, I’ll just use fragrance free baby wipes then rinse my face with water. I’ll never use cleansers again.
What about moisturizer ? Every time I try to do no face wash my moisturizer (minimal ingredients one) doesn’t get washed off enough. Maybe no more moisturizer but then what do you do about the flakes and white dry skin ?
Hi!! Always try to moisturise, you will definitely lose benefits if you don’t. I suggest a microfibre face cloth & warm water, or micellar water 😊 Both should get the moisturiser off just fine.
My face is almost spotless now.
I wash my face and hair once in two days that too at night with a soap just after I exercise.
Other times i gently pat my face with a soft moist (water) cotton pad once in the morning and then coming back home.
I live in India and it gets polluted here and my whole life I used to struggle with acne and uneven skin.
Now with eating low carb high protein food, exercising daily and washing once in 2 days has done some serious WONDERS for me.
Bonus tip: Don't touch your face often, Don't put Mobile phone directly at your cheeks while receiving a call and Dont use same pillow case three days in a row.
Be a Lil less harsh on yourself 😉
BELIEVE ME LESS IS MORE
Even I started this routine n i am only using Garnier micellar water no product other then that it's really helping
Yay!! I wish you only the best on your skin journey 🤗
@@robynsturgess7495 after micler water we can wash with water or not plz tell
@@mehakjoshi8198 yes just rinse your face with water and you are done 😊
@@ilona2452 ok thanku you use miceller water ?
@@mehakjoshi8198 I do but I also do use other skincare products. I'm going to tone my routine down product for product zo my skin can get used to it 😊
my skin has become so red and damaged looking since starting a skincare routine a couple years ago. even using a gentle hydrating cleanser.
How to recover
It sounds as if you have sensitive skin. Perhaps try stripping back your skincare routine to the bare minimum & only wash your face once a day. 🤗
Will just water get rid of the sweat on my face?
Not entirely that’s why micellar water helps. Although some days I just use my microfibre face cloth & it works just fine for me 🌸
As a child I had gorgeous skin but as I now as a teen i break out really bad and have to use skin care products to try to fix it but it makes it worse I'm going to try not using anything at all but like just washing my face with soap day and night I hope it works because I'm going to give up soon :(
It's not good to clean your face too much. Ideally, try to do it only at the end of the day to clean the dirt of the day (as for me, if I didn't put stuff in my face and stayed home, I tried to wash it only once every 2 days. It helps with my little rosacea). Try to avoid tap water too, that's what dries the skin the most. Personally, I use rice water with a tiny bit of glycerin in it. After a while, your skin should start to be much better. Of course, if you use a sunscreen, I don't think that it will be sufficient to take it out. Maybe an oil base cleanser can be interesting for that (I am still in my research on that) and take the oil base cleanser off without tap water, but with the rice water. I hope something like that can improve your skin a lot after it get accostum to it! :)
@@mariannelabanane2589 I feel like everyone should experiment and try just using just water day and night to wash face and quitting skincare products to let your skin breathe naturally still using moisturiser tho if you have dry skin :)
DID IT WORKKKK
@@olixia6948 testing it out will let you know :)
@@promilarani1238 Even in the morning, personally, I would not put water on my skin. It would dries it for nothing. I think tap water dries the skin even more than many skin cleansing products that are currently on the market as many of them now respect the skin's pH. But, only using rice water at the end of the day to wash off the simple dirt of the day (unless using makeup or sunscreen of course) would at least be worth a try (and yes, using moisturizers if necessary)!
Do you have any tips for removing acne scars? I don’t really have acne but it’s just all scars now and it’s the type where it leaves red marks so it still looks like acne
try rosehip oil !!
The best thing that has worked for me in terms of scars has been dermarolling . I do it myself at home but it’s recommended to go to a professional. 💜
@@robynsturgess7495 How do you do it yourself?
do it suppose to get worse a li before it gets better?
My experience wasn’t like that. It started to get better right away. 😊 Then again, everybody’s skin is different. ♥️
May be coz I am on 6th day and i am breaking out.. Lots of tiny bumps, blackheads clogged pores.. U can also check out 'no makeup conversations' channel.. She also had bad breakouts before getting better.. Even I am having too
Please answer me...i'm gonna start this revolution with u guys..but i just want to know if u remove sunscreen with water only.
Sunscreen must be removed with Micellar water ❤️
I'm already tired of using cleansers so I am gonna try this lol
how did it go?! 😁 i hope well
update??
Hey love from India 🇮🇳🙂
Can I know that at what age you started this journey??
Question: did your skin purge when during the first few weeks you started washing it?
Just want to clarify your question, do you when when I started washing my face, or when I stopped washing my face?
Thank you for your question! 😊 I’d like to say it was a purge, but it would continue for as long as I was washing my face. 🙊
@@robynsturgess7495 ah ok thx
@@robynsturgess7495 when u stopped washing did u see a purge?
I haven’t washed my face in years only water and my skin is clear. Im a guy so I don’t have to wipe off makeup.
I think i need to read all the comments here. I'll be back soon. But I wanna sleep first, to relax me from stressfull tiny bumps in my face this morning.
I 've a oily skin
Can I use only water doing
nothing else?
Yes! I have oily skin too and it worked wonderfully for me. But I would encourage you to use a moisturizer. :)
Will it clog pores?
Nope 😊
How long will it take to cure acne
It all depends, everyone’s skin is incredibly unique & different. For some of us it can happen quickly when changing our routine, for some of us it’s a slow process. Also diet & genetics play a role. Best is to take it slow & see how it goes ☺️
Ive never ever had a routine for cleaning my face in any way, i do nothing and my skin is completely fine
Amen girl! It’s the secret the beauty industry doesn’t want us to know!
hi do you just like splash water on your face or do nothing at all? i think i’m going to be trying this
@@sarahgenzel1800 actually nothing at all. Ever. Probably not good; i recommend that u splash your face if youve been out - especially referring in a shopping centre or sth.
But no, i have never ever done anything to my face, maybe there has come some sort of water on it when ive showered, but i dont even shower everyday.
Honestly, my parents never told me to do such, and ive recently found out that some think its disgusting not to cleanse your face every single day.
I think my skin is fine, its not silk but its normal - better than most in my class
@@miaishere2755 haha ok thank you! i think in the mornings i’ll put some spf moisturizer on but so far i’m not sure what to do bc nothing is helping😕
@@sarahgenzel1800 hm idk, maybe u could try letting your face skin be - or after youve tried using that moisturizer
So you used only the miracle water?? How do you moisture your face??
Most people don't need moisturizers...Skincare companies wants us to believe we need it constantly, skip it entirely and forget it exists, you'll be fine...
Does the microfiber cloth really get all the makeup off? Want to do this
Hi!! ☺️ It really does! You can always follow up with a toner if you’re not 100% convinced, but it works perfectly for me. ☺️
I don’t get acne on my face anymore since I stopped washing it, but i also have body acne and I’m not sure how to fix that 😬
Yayyy! 🎉 So for body acne exfoliation is essential, I dry brush before I hop in the shower & that helps TONS.
@@robynsturgess7495 dry brush? What do you mean by that?
Try saunas / steam rooms then into the pool the chlorine seems to get rid of bacterial acne on back etc
Do you use moisturizer?? Or anything after washing with water?
Idk about her, but I personally have dry skin so I need to use a moisturizer, but if you have oily skin you can totally skip it, it’ll feel tight at the beginning but after a couple of weeks your skin will get used to it:)
Would like to ask, do you rinse with water after using micellar water? Thank you in advance. Have a great day, God bless
Hi there! Thanks for your question I don’t rinse after using micellar water 😊 Although it’s not the end of the world if you do. xx
Heyy!! I have a question please ignore my english, English is not my first language so i wanted to ask should i wash my face with cold water after coming back from school? Please reply🥺
@@mysterious_girl234 hi friend! It doesn’t really matter if it’s hot or cold. 😊
@@robynsturgess7495 tysm for replying❤🥺
Do I still use moisturizer or nothing at all?
Oh definitely still moisturise. I use Neutrogena Water Gel & a good SPF every day. ☺️
@@robynsturgess7495 thank youu
You look like the love child of Margot Robbie and Lindsay Lohan.
I never thought of that, but it’s a huge compliment! Thank you ☺️☺️
Omg she does wow!
Plss can you share wot you are using presently
How to wash hair?
just try only aleppo soap 20 per cent and nothing else
Did anyone else purge during this process?
Can i just wash my face using water and moisturizer?
Yes ma'am! Try it out for a week & see how your skin responds.
@@robynsturgess7495 even my skin is prone acne and so oily? I'm so tired of it :'( I should try this
I’ve just uploaded a follow up video regarding moisturizers & skincare if you’d like to check it out. ☺️☺️
Going to start using only micellar water starting today I’ll update every week
So 6 days have passed and my skin is way less irritated, I look younger (my skin had creased so much due to the under most layers being exposed)
A lot of the tiny bumps all over my face have gone down right now the most problematic areas are my cheeks( usually where I first apply my cleansers) I’m using the miscellar water and daily logic hydrating gel cream. If I feel my face is too dirty I use something called jabón de cuaba which I use on my body too( lol this is what guys do too) and my face is clearing up a lot
I feel my skin is purging rn idk man but I’ll stay strong also gonna look for a regular moisturizer with no acids any suggestions please reply ty
I decided this evening I’m not even going to use miscellar water anymore just water in the shower of course not hooot water just cold-lukewarm
So I wasn’t rinsing my face after using miscellar water and I think that may have been why I was “purging” but my skin is so much clearer it’s just these hyperpigmentation and dark spots (I’m black) any suggestions? I have a dermatology appointment next Thursday
So I bought the microfiber towel and I’m using that to “wash” my face with water and I’m also using Shea butter(whipped with water) to moisturize A TINY BIT LITERALLY BARELY lol and my face isn’t purged out looking crazy anymore I only use miscellar water when I feel dirty on my face it’s going good
But what if we have dry skin... I have very dry skin and scaly ..😭....faded
This can still work for you!! Just make sure you MOISTURISE every day & night. For dry skin I recommend jojoba oil or rosehip oil, a good facial sunscreen & a moisturizer that has hyaluronic acid in it.💜
Slay mommy dare !!!
I’m gonna try to do the same
Julie Therrell Awesome! Let me know how it goes!! 💕
Hi, did it work for you?
Gorgeous
I've been doing this for about 4 months now. My skin gets better and then worse and then better😂
what about now?
Doing what?
Well the ingredients you mentioned as harsh are only harsh for the skin which don't need this ingredients. The usage of these ingredients depends on the skin concern.
Definitely! But I think considering that I had acne & salicylic acid is largely used for acne, it didn’t work for me. Everyone’s skin is different though & everyone reacts differently 😊
so u only use micellar water
Hello. I have two cystic acnes as of now. I have been watching lots of videos about "not washing face" routine and it so happen that I jumped off to your video. May I ask if we can use a mild soap to our face during shower? I'm trying to make the soap not so foamy, put it on my face then rinse after 5 seconds. I made it as quick as possible. Is it okay? I hope you read it. Thanks
Thank you so much for your comment! ☺️ If you are going to use a mild soap, that’s fine, just remember only once a day is enough, as it can easily strip the skin of its natural oils. I hope this helps xx
@@robynsturgess7495 thank you so much for your response, Miss Robyn! I'm gonna proceed with it. I'm on my first week now, I hope I can hold on. 😂
I stopped washing my face for 10 weeks and I started getting acne
As I mentioned, everyone’s skin is different & there are many influential factors. You’ll eventually find a routine that works for you. 🤗 Good luck!
Do u use any cremes, if so what kind do you use? :)
Thanks for your question!! If you checkout the next video I uploaded, I named a bunch of creams I use.❤️❤️
@@robynsturgess7495 okay thank you x
I do it two week and then I have new acne I guess is not for everyone
Maybe include a benzoyl peroxide or Salicylic acid cleanser once a week just to fight acne and exfoliate.

Do you use micellar water
Yup! Garnier Micellar water with the pink lid 💜
How are you supposed to remove a sunscreen? 🤔
Micellar water 😊
@@robynsturgess7495 what kind of sunscreen do you use? It seems like every single thing breaks me out 😔and if I wash my face with a cleanser it feels so tight and dry after
I use a basic drugstore one- nothing fancy. But agreed, hard to find one that doesn’t make my skin more oily 🙈 & if your skin feels tight after cleansing, odds are the cleanser is far too harsh for your skin type.
do you using micellar water?
Hiii! Yes I do 😊

how about someone who practise sport he must take a shower yes ?
Of course, but sweat is water soluble
Yes always 😂 Showering is mandatory, haha.
My dilema is: If I wear sunscreen I want to take it off before bed so… I need skincare for that. Any thoughts?
Micellar water
Hi! 💐 Micellar Water is the perfect solution for that ☺️
thank you!!!

@@robynsturgess7495 okay I’ll but how do you remove the spf from your skin since you don’t use cleansers?
I use the micellar water & a warm face cloth in the shower
@@robynsturgess7495 thank you💕
I really want to do this but do you moisture and put on spf or not
I do use SPF. I remove it with micellar water & microfibre face cloth
Moisturizer ?
Neutrogena Water Gel & Vichy SPF
Do you use moisturizer?
I do! I rotate between Cerave & Neutrogena Hydroboost
Do you use any moisturizer or acne cream? Thanks
I do!! ☺️ I use Neutrogena Water Gel as a moisturizer, & for my acne I use a salicylic acid spot treatment & a Betahydroxy Acid Face Gel. Will be posting my routine soon!!

this dont make sense, why would you have started using all those products if you didnt already have all these skin issues that youre saying the skin care products are causing
Guys i have a question please answer from your own experiences.
Okay so i stopped washing my face and yes my acne disappeared.i have been washing my face with water in the morning and applying cream and that's it.
I am also mot applying sunscreen but want to apply it for the protection.
But at the night how do you guys remove sunscreen if you are not using a cleanser.
Please help🥲
Hi friend. I suggest you still apply your sunscreen as it is a very important step. You can either remove it with a microfibre face cloth or Micellar water in the evening. Both work great. 😊
@@robynsturgess7495 thank you but do i not need do follow up with a water based cleanser after micellar water?
Not necessarily. Micellar water should do the trick. If you are worried you can use a mild cleanser like Cerave but only at night 🤗
@@robynsturgess7495 thank you so so much!
Tired of watching videos saying they only use water and yet they use other skin products
lol my main emphasis is that I stopped using cleansers. Take what you want from the video, leave the rest. :)
