You don't wash your face for 30 days, and you don't apply any product or makeup during that month. Yes, it sounds gross, but supposedly your skin resets and balances itself. Has anyone tried it?

That would freek me out

No thanks.

no way. If you have a gentle, effective cleanser that maintains the proper pH of your skin and doesn't strip it, you don't need to "reset" anything.

I've heard some bloggers talk about this, but I've never seen an actual dermatologist say this or promote this idea and I've never seen science to back this up.

Not trying that any more than I'd try to cleanse my digestive system with one of those cleanses.

I like my face clean and moisturized and my belly satisfied with a balanced diet.

Do you also refrain from showering and washing your hair during this time?

[ladyroxanne]

and what is the point?

Wouldn't "resetting and balancing" be better accomplished by improving the food you eat?  After all, the skin on your face and elsewhere does not exist in a vacuum.  These bloggers seem to adhere to the outdated Cartesian theory of everything being separate from everything else.  That was disproved a long time ago.

Sounds crazy....no sun screen either?  The skin picks up all kinds of debris all day and night.  I cannot fathom 30 days' worth, nor would my dermatologist be happy!!!
