WHY I DON’T USE SOAP | Clearing My Acne 

what do you mean by trunk

@mariaaa there is a fairly strong correlation between sunscreen use and overall deaths including cancers. That is the people that use little or no sunscreen live the longest the people who use the most die the youngest. But this is only a correlation not a causation it may be from the sunscreen it may be from the lack of UVB vitamin D creating radiation. Sunscreen doesn't work it's still allows the UVA very damaging radiation to get through, nothing stops it. So sunscreen only blocks you from getting the tan (UVB) that protects you from the UVA. Typical product designed to keep you dependent upon it by never allowing you to build up a base tan which will protect you from real sun damage.

Couldn't agree more! :) :)

It's actually water that dries the skin out more than soap.

Aw thank you! 😊 Post gym/ an outside workout I'll wash my body with natural soap. I still try and avoid my face if I can - but if I've used sunscreen I'll definitely scrub it with natural soap. I generally find though just rubbing my body with water and my hands works well, and then once or twice a week I'll use a loofah to really get all the excess skin etc 😊

@@lauren_hogg what’s a good natural soak you’d recommend?

Water always! I will also lightly exfoliate to ensure I am removing the dead skin; I'm simply trying to avoid the chemicals. If I don't use water on my face, I don't feel clean or washed so I will always, at the very least, use water 😊

@@lauren_hogg may i ask.. what do you use to exfoliate ? a wash rag and water?

This!! None of these no soap videos address this question!

I do both :) Currently I just use a normal plastic-y exfoliator (i hardly use it so it's lasting ages) but I'd love to get a more natural one - if you're looking I think they have someo on the website Package Free Shop :) And I do moisturise mostly in winter when my skin is really dry - I just use a natural moisturiser. Have a play with different natural ones and you'll find something that suits your skin the best :)

@@lauren_hogg thank you! :)

Sometimes! If i've exercised that day (which is most days) I'll use a bit of soap but when I'm washing my hair, soap collects on the floor anyway so I'm not super fussed :)

Ok thanks for sharing

I use soap/ shampoo for my hair and on my body (on specific areas) if I have been sweating excessively. I shower once a day, sometimes twice if I have exercised in the morning 😊

I do! Unless I have something on my face like sunscreen, then I'll use some natural soap, i just rub those areas with my hands :)

scrub!

@tassin6756 um not sure if you have kp are not, but that does not help.....

Hey Lewis 😊 I haven't had experience with rosacea personally, but from what I know about it, using minimal (natural) products and eating as cleanly as possible should hopefully help. Maybe it would be useful to continue to only use water to wash for the next few weeks, as well as eating a fairly clean diet to see if it has any effect? Before I continue, the only degree I have is in film so please take my advice with a grain of salt. To elaborate, by a 'clean diet' I mean cutting out refined sugar (but not fruit), eating more vegetables (cooked and uncooked) and making sure you're having enough healthy fats like nuts/ nut butter, seeds, avocado, oils (like coconut oil), fish/ salmon (if it's available to you) and generally avoiding packaged foods. Overall, it's really important to keep your diet balanced. So, in my opinion, it would be most beneficial to cut out refined sugars and packaged foods (especially the ones where you don't know/ can't understand all of the ingredients inside). I hope this helps! 😊

Hi Susylou 😊 I really like the "thankyou" brand but I generally am happy to try any organic soap. Bars are a great form of soap that I would totally recommend trying, I just didn't love them myself - but complete personal preference!

CAVEGIRL I see, thank you for your recommendations! 😊 I’ve been suffering from bacne as well & I’m hoping to see better results for my skin! Thanks to your inspiring video. Keep it up 🧡

@@susyloucastro6911 I wish you all the best! 😊🦋

tho i literally bathe everyday with soap

Sending love to you 🦋 I don't believe soap causes acne, but I really don't believe it helps. Natural, minimal ingredients is the way to go in my life and I hope you find something that works for you 😊

@@lauren_hogg hopefully 😊 thank you so much 💝

How exciting! Hmm I'd say just try whatever you're more comfortable with first - and depending on where you live (aka a colder climate, you may want to continue the coconut oil!) I don't generally use moisturiser and I have been going no soap for so long that my skin has adjusted. But, in winter I do sometimes just use a super natural moisturiser and in summer I will use some fresh aloe vera every now and then 😊 Good luck!

Thank you 😊 will update in a month how this goes. Thank you for posting these soul nourishing vids ♥️👌

Aw I'm sorry to hear this! I wish you all the best 🦋 I still use shampoo as my hair very much struggled when I tried to go without it, but to each their own!

I definitely agree with this - and through teenage years, it's very likely to develop more than normal, however I also really noticed that the chemicals I was putting on my body only worsened the issue. When I cut them out completely, I noticed a massive difference and I continue to only use more gentle, natural skincare.

Exactly after a while acne spots do eventually clear up, I won't happen over might, but it does.
