Someone even suggested not washing my face, LOL. Maybe they should not wash their face and not brush their teeth.
Yes - that is a legitimate option. I just was talking to my teenage son (following this very "interesting" conversation) - whose skin has greatly improved since "giving up" dairy, and he said he never even uses the coconut oil. Cleansers, soaps, whatever - all dry his sensitive skin out. He said he literally does nothing in terms of "cleaning" his face - just uses water in the the shower.
Equating someone who doesn't use a pre-packaged "cleanser" or any other topical product or substance with someone who doesn't ever clean themselves (let alone their teeth) is just ignorant. Our bodies do a pretty amazing job of keeping itself in order without any intervention. How long do you think "face wash" and "face cleanser" have been on the planet anyway?? Hardly a blip in time. Yet somehow we managed to "survive." Fact: The more you wash your face the more of the natural oils you strip from your face, which is very drying, and it causes your skin to over-produce the oil, which encourages acne breakouts and needing wash your face more frequently than necessary. It's a never-ending cycle that doesn't need to happen.
I, too, leave this here for the people who might benefit from the information.
Cheers.
