MELT AWAY BLACKHEADS: goo.gl/4RD4k7
A common comment I always receive is that, my products do more harm than good, that water will do exactly what my skincare does and that im my skin would be better if I just left it alone. In this first episode of my new series, I stop using all types of skincare cosmetics for...nearly a week! Commonly known as the caveman routine, I put all these no cleansing claims to the test.

Should have used fiji water
I discovered this video on Canny cleanser chart - there's many useful videos there that may help out
how's the water in london? is it chlorinated? really necessary to have a shower filter, etc most everywhere in the states. i even use filtered water when i wash my face over a sink
mena tap water is actually as safe to drink/use if not safer than bottle water because all of the testing that it goes through before it comes out your tap.
Reese Winters chlorine kills bacteria.
sometimes i think i look ugly but it's just that i haven't exfoliated in a couple days
Victoria Whitlock Hands down one of the most iconic TH-cam comments I've ever read.
🙌 yes. Gotta shed that nasty skin buildup
Omg same here lol. I find it so strange
What type of exfoliates you use ?
lol
What people don’t understand is that it can definitely be a form of self love. I don’t get acne if I stop washing my face, which happens when I get depressed for weeks at a time, although my skin does get a bit rough. But it makes me feel good about myself to take care of my skin and I quite enjoy it. Ya kno?
Yeahhh I 100% get you. I do it because I enjoy it and it relaxes me!
if i had clear skin i’d never touch another skincare product ever again.
Must be nice. I feel the same way but i was cursed with ugly acne skin. Large pores and pitted acne scarring
@Gabrielle Boilard oh okay I'll give it a go. Prior i was using niacinamide and hyaluronic acid serums from the ordinary don't really think they worked well, this is assuming it wasn't something else in my routine, even after the so called purging phase" they also left a sticky residue, which i can correlate with most serums that I've used. As for black heads i don't think I've ever seen a visible one on my skin in my life?.. idk sometimes I'll just get a cluster of breakouts especially around my chin and cheeks mostly whiteheads. Then periodic pimple here or there sometimes under the skin and large. About 60% of my face is clear. But i want my acne gone forever while reaping the benefits of everything else. I recently got a few Korean items from soko glam so i think I'll add what you've suggested to my cache. Thx
I also get depressed some times and I stop all my face care. I can Lways tell when I'm getting better when I start doing my skin care again.
My boyfriend is always saying that I should just let my skin be b/c he rinses his face sort of massaging it in the shower w/ *water only* and he only showers every other day. His skin looks like f*cking porcelain and it's BS. He has no pores. I can say for certain that this method/regime does not work for me (even though I don't wear makeup most days), I need skin care.
Cardsmaster LMAOOOO
He showers every other day 🗿
@@Cardsmaster ikr disgusting 🤣
I didn’t wash my face until I was 21 & my friend freaked out knowing I just used water while in the shower. Now I have all sorts of issues but can’t stop using my products either! My husband uses dove sensitive at night & just barely. Never moisturizes or uses anything. And his skin is the best. So jelly.. but proves less can be better. Let ur skin do what it’s supposed to do & take care of itself!
@@adoptedpotato4132 it's healthy
For some people washing their face, masking, putting oils & creams does more damage. Especially if you’ve been using acne products for years. Acne can be caused by compromised skin barrier. Wearing sun screen can help repair the acid mantle (which is damaged when using chemical filled cleansers/acne products). Consistently stripping your face of its natural oils only to replace it with external sources defeats the purpose of removing them to begin with. Seriously. I never broke out in high school. Only started breaking out AFTER I tried to have a skin care routine. 6 years, a lot of $$$ & horrible cystic acne showed me that sometimes less really is more.
Your skin is like porcelain damn
its so nice and milky white!
@J purple ramen yeah but the lighting makes it look white😂😂
I find using just water washing my face in the morning then double cleansing in the evening suits me the best and of course sunscreen on everyday and always always always moisturize :)
soooo water and just sunscreen in the morning?
I can't imagine not doing my skincare... my skin feels so dry without moisturizer and so oily and disgusting if I don't exfoliate.
Washing and moisturizing really does help a lot. It gives the skin it's elasticity and glow . Great video James ! Totally enjoyed it 😊
Sharandeep Singh ..james already know this.😶
You don’t ever have to justify for having some self love!! 💜
So true
❤❤❤
regardless of my beauty routine 2 things that really improved my skin were WORKING OUT and DRINKING WATER (instead of juice or soda..avoiding sugar for the most part)! mostly working out though
sam sam 😍
That’s the biggest part of any self care is to eat well tbh
yes!! and cutting out dairy and replacing it with almond/coconut milk and coconut kefir + celery/kale/brocc juicing 🤤 my fungal acne disappeared and so did my cystic/hormonal acne!
I used to go caveman. I never had any major issues with skin. It was normal and spot free but dull and a bit red. After discovering you and doing a proper skin routine for 4 weeks it has become even toned and glowing. Thank you so much ❤
Literally my skin is clearing so fast from just using water... a little aloe sometimes and I use a very small amount of neutragena retinol night time cream.... ya skin has never looked better.
So u don’t just use water…
@@Jay-fv6xo he meant cleansing with water
I’m loving this vlog style video 😍
If I even miss washing my face even once...all hell breaks outs.
darkdistiller same 🌚
out of curiosity do you have naturally oily skin 👀
My skin type is oily dehydrated + acne prone and my skin feels SOOOOOO dry when I only wash it and leave it. It must have been a nightmare.
Im the same! My skin is oily but if i dont properly
moisturize i feel sooo dehydrated
@beep boop I do that. I also take courses in biology and chemistry trying to understand skincare on molecular level. I do cleanse with products in the evening, use moisturisers both morning and evening, sun protection, oil sometimes and chemical exfoliation. I am really into skin care. Its just the type of my skin. But thank you. I really wished someone told me that a year and half ago when I was like uugh my skin is so dry 😂😂😂😂
@beep boop also I like your profile picture 😂 it's cute
@beep boop yeah it's a bad skin type to have 😂😂. And I used to use and still do quite a strong cleanser with salicylic acid for the acne prone part. But now I don't use it twice a day. Skin care is completely personal and i love it
That's not a skin type that's a skin condition. If your skin is dehydrated it will produce excess sebum to counteract the dryness, making it appear oily. Your skin is trying to create moisture but it's not working, trapping all the bad bacteria and dirt and making it a breeding ground for p.acnes. If your skin is taut and dry when you don't wash it that means your skin type is likely closer to dry/normal (maybe even combo). So whatever you're doing to your skin- whether it be through diet, or the products you're using- you're creating an acne prone environment for your skin. And yes i would know because I had the exact same problem and when i stopped washing my face for a month it stopped being dry and became normal. Hope this helps!
I have actually been doing this for a while really... 3 weeks on and 1 week off. I find it allows my skin to reboot and reset itself and the only thing I do is wash my face in the shower and apply sunscreen during the day (ok, a very minimal skincare routine, but with no actives, essences, serums, masks, etc. - just cleanse, tone, sunscreen, for the day and a splash of water at night). Plus it saves money too! Hahaha
Great video as always!
Do it the other way round, cleanse at night and slapsh water in the morning. Not a good idea to go to bed with sunscreen on because it can clog your pores and all the pollution from the day is just sitting there. Get that junk off!!
Great video as always James! I recently tried this the other month just to see and had a similar experience, dull looking dehydrated skin, it wasn't a great experience. It's true what you said towards the end in that what works for some people doesn't work for others, everyone has his/her routine. 😊
It was amazing how just as soon as you applied your product at the end, the flush returned to your skin immediately
Dry or not your face looks great! And can we get more James vlogs please :) I was just in London 1/12-1/16 the cold made my skin glow lol it’s freezing there!
i want to ask jamesh have u tried hadalabo products##how it works can you do video on hadalabo??
My husband does that at best (when I remind him) and he has the most gorgeous and glowing skin I've ever seen. Must be some truth in it 🤔
Awsum Video dude keep it up
I respect the fact you actually did the experiment for those who had an opinion on how much skin care you use. You are the pro here though and I personally appreciate your vids because I am so ignorant when it comes to skin care. Iv learned a lot and as a single 36 yr old I am starting to feel my age where my skin just hates me I know now how to make it happy...or some what so.
You really have a good skin 😭
How did you help your skin recover afterwards? I'm currently in the hospital and on day 5 without being able to wash my face.
Your skin tone amazing..
James can you tell me exactly what you use on your face daily? It seems like we have the same type of skin but my skin gets dry fast and I am prone to breakouts no matter how much I take care of my skin.
You wake up looking like that
Your skin is amazing! !
Love the pop of red on your room!
OMG LOONA GIRL FRONT IN THE BACKGROUND WE STAN A KING
Hey! I really enjoy your skin care videos, just binged them. I actually wash my face with argan oil. Sounds crazy but is so amazing for my superoily skin. I just rub the oil on the face and then take it off with a cloth. Cleansers, even mild ones, dry out my skin terribly leading to dullness and overoiling (haha is that a word?). But only water is not enough as sometimes I wear makeup and live in an area with high air pollution. But oil takes the dirt off even better. However, you do you :)
I have to at least apply some type of lotion. If my face gets wet from showering and I don't apply lotion, all of it gets dry
I wash my face with only water as a step 1 in my morning skincare routine.
Before bed I double cleanse at the beginning of my routine.
Not caused me any issues. I had acne before, and CLEARLY what Im doing is working. My skin is clear.
Do you use any actives to treat your acne or prevent it from coming back?
That’s what I’ve been doing for years but now I feel like I need a break from everything just to try it out. I’m worried but I feel like my night routine is ticking off my skin, to the point that even the next morning it still seems to be the case.
Used to work wonders but I wonder because my nighttime cleanser has sacylix acid that maybe I’m overdoing the exfoliating properties. I never knew it exfoliated.
I really, really enjoyed the daily vlog storytelling. Hopefully you will consider doing it more often, when you have more time.
thanks for the video! I saw a book boasting this method last week and i was so confused, it said this method is certified by a Japanese dermatologists but sometimes when I leave my skin alone on weekends it results in terrible skin texture, dehydrated and oily skin, at times even breakouts
Loved the video
You are the best
Love from india
You are the Best james😊💕💕💕
I am stressed out - only just watching this. Cannot imagine what would happen to me without skincare for a week (ok 5 day lols). It's kinda pleasure and hobbies! I agree with you... I definitely gonna miss my masks and exfoliator pads.... OMG!
you can moisturize after rinsing your face without using a cleanser !! also when you rinse your face it's important to use cold water so your skin doesn't get dry. i only use coconut oil to remove makeup, wipe it off and then rinse my face with cold water, especially in the dry winter months. then i just put on rosehip seed oil and go to bed. once a month i exfoliate with a coffee and coconut oil scrub that i make myself. i do this regime to avoid dry skin and pH problems-- a lot of cleansers are too alkaline for skin, which is naturally slightly acidic. by doing the coffee scrub (which is slightly acidic) and not using any products with a pH, my skin's acid mantle is thriving so i don't have to worry about bacteria since it can't usually live in an acidic environment. maybe give it another go while using oils to moisturize every night!
you should have tried it for atleast 6 months. believe me your skin will be different. less bright. less soft. less smooth. compare with skin care even with just moisturiizet. because environment now are different compared to before. we have more pollution. uv rays. food, water and quality are different too compared 20-30yrs before
James please tell me what did you applied @ 15:02 . I really need that man you didn't replied my previous comment, man I am urgely waiting.
i stopped washing my face for last 15 years... but still shine. hmmm ur videos are very informmative
Hi James, you are the best modern male grooming expert. I love your videos. You are so good looking, love from India.
This was different .. love it!!!!
Also sidenote love those cute bear and bunny on 6.19 on the background.😍
wow. Trains/Subways there are much cleaner than NY
Ohhh my god..Ur so handsome 😇😇..I follow ur videos alot... And I love to watch it.😇 Can you make a video on moisturizer for our face the best we can get for dry and combination skin type
Hello James, what did you applied @ 15:03 it looks like really watery textured and your skin started glowing like an Angel. Please tell me I really need that
Tea tree oil bro
you shouldve been allowed to use moisturizer
Great video James.
Great vlog format! 👍 You must have been having withdrawals going cold turkey like that! 😂
Love the dressing gown 😊
It's cute that you tried this as well! It's good to have an open mind.
James Welsh do you recommend using a Clarisonic James?
Before watching this video, i have literally thought about you doing a video about it, but i never thought it would acc happen. Best video idea so far
deja vu haha
heyitsdaave ikr😂
Hands Down to you for trying 👏 Could you please tell me what facial cleanser, moisture and exfoliator you are currently using for oily skin or ones that you recommend? Please also do a review on which Sunscreen to get for oily skin? Lastly, what do you think of moisturiser with build in SPF, do you think it is as effective as without it? Sorry to bump you with a lot of questions lol 😅! Thank you :)
Great man, Bro I have medium black skin Which creams and Face wash was best please tell.
liked your video....first time ur face looked dry and matt.....i want to ask have u ever used hadalabo??
squirtle sleep in the same spot 😌every night
who is this beautiful man whose into skincare and played loona in the background of his video I’m in love
I stopped using all my products except for the bulldog face wash and my skins gotten better. I was getting constant breakouts before.
Hey, can I know which moisturizer did you use after cleansing?
Do you have the video which you explain that is ok to use different skincare brands because many people say that i should use the same brand for example soap, tonic, hydrating gel etc..
before watching this video! i muttered 'oh no' to myself haha
You comment everywhere and you always get so many likes! I'm jealous!
People criticize others way too much for having a skincare routine. Everyone's skin is different.
yeah wtf
about the glow when you use products, does that come purely from your skin being polished to its newest layer, or does the given product have some sort of ingredients that actually add that glow in?
Ur just awesome
Luv from India James😘😘😘
man we dontt get bored even watching u for hours together
James Welsh ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the loona instrumental like made me instantly more happy haha
subscriber GAINED
I've never had a skin care routine😂😂 until yesterday when o decided that Maybe I should
if using sunscreen, I think it's really necessary to wash with cleanser before going sleep... not good idea to sleep with all those chemicals on; what do you say?
You can wash sunscreen & makeup off with hemp seed oil & warm water & washcloth.
You can remove your sunscreen gently with face halo/makeup eraser.
Just use cleansing oil and a normal cleanser after it and all the sunscreen should be gone
“Chemicals”
@Afterlife is The Future that's why I don't like sunscreen. I put it on, but I don't *enjoy* it, y'know? It's supposed to protect your skin but it's also not *good* for your skin per say. I spent a looot of money on trying different sunscreens before I found one that wouldn't make my skin red, itchy, burn, break out...or look like I had a ghostly greasy white mask on. sigh...but you gotta do what you gotta do I guess ! lol.
For true anti aging, all you need is sunscreen and retinol serum or a retinoid cream
andymch too much retinol can thin out your skin tho sooo
Marasma101 actually retinol thickens the skin at the dermis level so that's not true
What about an exfoliant
@@Marasma101 You're right in the sense that it thins your epidermis, the outermost layer of your skin. That's because the skin cell turnover is faster and retinoids do tend to be exfoliating. So in the beginning you might notice you're getting more "wrinkly". But as your dermis thickens and your skin gets used to the turnover, you'll be better off long term 😃
what volume spray did you use on your hair ?
Very nyc experiment...not washing ur face and then bak to skin care routine .... skin care is my hobby too.....tell me some skin care scrub and mask for weekend .And hair treatment/mask . Specially for weekend.
James Welsh Which Cream and face wash u use daily that tell bro, U showing many creams and face wash, please tell u useing daily
Your skin is perfect I’m envy of you
The moment I stopped my skincare routine, my skin looks better. I only use water to wash my face and rice water as my toner and my skin is so smooth and glowing. I can go out bareface. I wish I knew this years ago so I could have save so much from buying different beauty products.
Skin care makes you so happy 😁
On the contrary, I wish I did not have to do it everyday...I am trying the caveman regimen but a little bit alterated, I am going to exfoliate once or twice a week and spray rose water on my face ( it moisturizes the skin) or skip the rose water...I hope it works becouse I am so tired of using moisturizers and not being able to be without them...I am tired of the way they clog my pores and I have to wash and exfoliate so much in order to clean my skin...oils, no matter which one, make me break out...I have tried the best, most natural moisturizers, but the more I use them, the more I feel we are not supposed to use them....maybe it takes a while for the skin to adjust to theese changes and probably one week is not enough time...I also have acne and maybe this helps....
Hey James love your videos! , sorry if I ask a question not related to the video but do you think western products are worth it since you mostly use korean ones but they're not available easily everywhere but the western one tends to be 3x to 5x more expensive with brands like estee lauder , clarins etc?
Thank you so much for replying and yeah even after shipping korean cost less than the luxury ones
I hv acne prone skin before, and I like to use more skin care to prevent the acne, but it getting worse. Now, im just wash my face using water and then put on suncreen in the morning. For evening routine, I use oil cleanser then moisturizer. My skin now flawless, acne never came back. No more insults from ppl surround me. I enjoyed my life more🙆
De Jon I used to only use oil cleanser too but it made me break out real bad when I didn’t use a normal cleanser after it ... I guess it’s really just different for everybody
Being Yourself try to find products that work for you
Great stuff!
I recently went caveman because I was sick and couldn't be bothered to get out of bed. Horrible results! I definitely got that whole rough texture you mentioned, but also my pores got so clogged. I looked terrible.
James you need to wait about a month before it stabilises. That’ll be your bravery test...
man you have perfect skin with no scars or acne, in my opinion, it wouldn't make a tremendous difference regardless if you take care of it or not. I guess everybody is on different levels with different expectations.
I first became aware of this not-washing-your-face trend from Pampered Wolf. So I gave it a go and I have to say that my skin improved a bit. I now just wash my face once a day with a cleanser. I wear concealer and mascara so the is no "not washing my face, at all". For me its a bit necessary because of that fact. But I skipped washing my face with a cleanser in the morning. I just use water then a light moisturizer. My blackheads decreased and my skin balanced itself out. I started seeing results within about a week and was surprised. Was it a routine that I liked? No. However i will skip a day or two without using a cleanser in the morning. This does go to show, at least to me, that the more products you use doesn't necessarily lead to better looking skin. In fact I have really scaled down the amount of skin products I do use as a whole.
I love your accent, amazing guy you are 💓💓🤗 sending love from India
For this to show true results u would have to do this for about a month. Your skin needs time to regulate, hense the dryness and brakeouts the reason most have oily skin is becuase our skin is actually super dry. What helps me a ton is washing it with olive oil before bed. Just a tip!
Exactly... They always say it takes from 15 to 21 days for your skin to get used to a new skincare product, so wouldn't it take the same time for you to get used to not using products at all...?
I totally agree!
Sometimes when I feel like my skin is getting too overwhelmed or breaking out just being weird I leave it alone for a few days
i splasj with hot and cold water then a light oil moisturizer
I thought it meant just wash with water but still do the rest of your skincare routine
your face when you could finally start using products again lol
Hi James, loved your video, your skin was trying to balance itself during those 6 days. Would you be willing to do a month of just water? Maybe this time use bottled water so that the chlorine from tap water doesn't dry out your skin. pleeeease try a month I'm dying to seee the results :D
I love skincare but I've read so much about the cave man regimen, and I tried it myself for a weekend and all the acne on my face started to heal. Now I wash my face once a day only and it's clear. But I'm wondering if it might actually look better if I only wash it once a week...hmmm
For the first time u finally did it by not using any products on ur face hahahah. I too use day n night time regime coz its my hobby to and whenever I miss them I feel as if i will die lol😉 . Selflove is best😀
If I even miss washing my face once (from the twice a day routine) like in the morning then I get acne. I cannot NOT do skincare
Oh no no no if I don't wash my face it literally starts resembling a pepperoni pizza. I get huge pimples and it's not pretty at all. My white heads show up more and my nose starts feeling kind of like sand paper. I tried not washing my face thinking maybe I was washing my face too much. I use to just use a face wash and face cream. Now that I have been adding more products to my skincare my skin has been looking so good. I usually just go out without makeup. So for some people having so many products can be beneficial. I benefited from them wouldn't change a thing about it.
I am a 100 Products on my face fan too, no matter what people say, I love it, I take it as a pamper myself time, the only thing I would recommend is to be cautious with exfoliation, me twice a week max, regards
I love skincare :-) but sometimes i think if i skipped my skin care,,,, would my skin clear up?
heeellloooo james!great video...u looking good😙😘😙😙😘😙😘
Hi James. See, I think tap water is bad for your skin. I live near Heathrow, and the limescale damage it does to the kettle, yuk! Not to mention the chlorine and flouride! So, on non-makeup days I generously spritz with organic rosewater, blot and that's it! Drinking lots of spring water hydrates from the inside out as well xx
Again, very informative. Question, is there a reason you don’t wash your face in the shower
Because the temperature of the water is too harsh for the skin on your face.
Do I heard Loona in background? Lmao. Im not complaining
Is there any chance to remove black dots made by pimples and make like original skin
