some notes from a dermatology PhD student :) 1. antibiotics can allow a yeast on the skin to grow more, which can lead to small bumps on the forehead called malassezia folliculitis, which likely corrects itself as your microbiome regulates. if your skin has bumps all of the time (not acne), try leaving nizoral or head & shoulders shampoo (anti-fungal) on your forehead for a few minutes. 2. would not recommend dove soap - even though it markets itself to drier skin types, all soaps are too harsh a detergent on the face. try a cleanser with sodium laureth sulphate 3. pores do not open or close in response to cold water - their size is determined by genetics and uv damage from the sun edit: 4. ALWAYS wear sunscreen every single day
ive had acne since 1 year but as of now I don't really have acne and pimples but I noticed a lot of big pores on my skin.can you please suggest me how to get rid of them?
@@munazzahreeon5569 pore size can be difficult to reduce but potentially helpful ingredients are niacinamide, salicylic acid (BHA) and green tea (centella asiatica). most importantly, use sunscreen everyday. hope this helps but i'm not a licensed professional yet :)
@@ashwathinair with. It is a detergent that most people tolerate well. It is less harsh than sodium lauryl sulphate. try it out and see if it's not too drying. always follow up with moisturiser
I wash my face with only water too. Splash of cold water in the morning and put on a pea size blob of E45 moisturing lotion on dry patches and thats it. No make up, no serums, no face washes, no added potions. Oh I also change my pillow case once a week. Love being low maintenance 😁👍🏻
I quit washing for three weeks now and I LOVE my skin now!! I was always oily and would use zest soap just to remove the oil but now that I’ve quit that my skin went through a very oily phase for about a week and now it just glows w no acne at all!!!! Plus I’m vegan too, so I think that helps a million!!!
The best reusable product for your face is a face cloth! The small round reusable ones are kinda too small, but a proper face cloth can be used all over your face and is then just thrown in the wash. And Oh My God the feeling of coming home after a long sweaty run, soaking the cloth in cold water and just putting it on your face is AMAZING. OR if you've been out in the cold and soak it in warm water, ah, almost better! But anyways, face cloths are the best thing ever for washing your face!
Finally someone who understands my shower struggles! I swear mine is going to be stuck on a boiling hot temperature for the rest of my life! And thanks Holly for providing so useful and down-to-earth tips. You’re such an inspiration!
I tried washing my face only with water. I used to have acne problem. I tried to use different face wash, moisturizer everything but nothing helped. I tried this method and in a month my skin is 70% clear and is better. I also started Exercising and getting more sleep
I used to had acne problems, which I think started in the time I was in high school. At that time, I used so many products!! going to dermatologists and using more products each week..which I now understand that it sensitized my skin. For the least 3 years I've only used moisturizer, sun cream and eye cream like my skin from acne-oily turned so sensitive and dry because of the amount of products I used so many years! Recently, 3-4 months I only wash my face with water and occasionally (when I feel dirty :)) or after a sweaty workout. I am more conscious about what my skin needs and it's such a huge difference (mentally and physically). My face is clear and I no longer stress on the products I should use and the money spent on them. I use to think that the chemicals from the products will help me, but now I see that our system adjusts itself and does it much better :) Thanks Holly for sharing with us just good little details from your life!! >:D
i am soooooo happy to hear that you've found a method that works for you! as i said in the video, everyone is incredibly different. and whilst it may take some time trying different things, it will be super rewarding when you find your optimal regime!!!
I practically have the same "routine", however, I do get some dry skin patches and ever since I was a child my mum bought me the moisturiser from Weleda. As far as I know not every product is vegan but they are cruelty-free. As Holly said, skin is pretty individual and I can understand why it might not be right for everyone. Lots of love to all of you :)
Hey Holly,in one of the videos there was tiny clip saying,you letting Emily do a full glam session on you. Can we expect that anytime soon? Absolutely loving your videos.
Three weeks ago I started using only moisturizer (and sunscreen) and it made a difference. My skin isn't that dry and sensitive as it was when using a cleanser for 'sensitive skin' and I barely have breakouts. Less is more
Hooooolly, can you imagine how happy I was waking up (almost) every morning this week finding a new video on your channel??😭 You are honestly amazing😭😭 Your videos are one of the best things in my day.
Don't need to give anything but 30 quid on skin&soul their facial steamer is exquisite!!, skinandsoull.com/, they hve a 60 second facial cleanser aswell
I really wish I knew you personally 🥺 as my friend. But as always, lots of love to you. You seriously changed my life in so many aspects and I'm always grateful to you for that. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thanks Holly!!! I would be very happy if you reply....
using skin care products fucks my skin but only using cold water, it makes it look fine for some reason lmao, thought it was weird but then again i stopped cow milk too
so keen for your thoughts on this!!! i’ve been wanting to ditch the daily overload of facial skincare products but am struggling to feel clean :/ hoping this video will give me some insight!!
There is still nothing more magical than your facial expression and the way your eyes light up and dance the second you mention and talk about Australia!!! 🌞
General skincare is common sense really. Drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen (moisturise to your heart's content too)and change bedsheets weekly/biweekly as the lingering bacteria on pillowcases won't help.
Holly, Im skin care junkie and many things u said I didnt like. *But Im no expert* U probably have dry skin as me. That means u dont have acne so much or ever. And here is the problem. Because it seems ur skin is clear, u tend to dont use any cleanser, moisturizer or even sunscreen. But that leads to quick aging of the skin (wrinkles) and sun damage. 1 *Dont use soap, as u said, it dries ur skin as crazy!* 2 *Clean ur face with some cleanser at least once in a week. For ur skin is good Water Boost Micellar Facial Gel Wash. Its vegan, cruelty free and cheap.* 3 *Use moisturizer twice a day. (The best moisturizer is without parfume)* 4 *Always use a sunscreen! Even in the UK sunlight can cause damage.* Love you
Don't forget using a facial steamer to release all that dirt and excess oils in your pores, what's the point off using the best skin cream when it is being blocked by dirt in pores and not sinking into your skin properly, skin&soul got one of the best facial steamers I have uses, skinandsoull.com/
I recently started using a Konjac sponge which works amazing with only water!! It’s a 100% natural sponge and gently cleanses the skin with whatever it is made of, it makes four skin feel fab🙈👌🏼
I feel like, if your skin is 'normal' and you have no problems with it, washing it with water is the best. A lot of people get a bad skin and problems because of the stuff they put on it. Mabye if you would wear foundation every day your skin would've been very different etc.
I use jojoba oil or try micellar water as a makeup remover. I use jojoba as a moisturizer but now I want to revisit the the water only method on the rest of my body except for the areas that need soap. I tremendously suffer from dry skin on my body but has been great with the water only regimen. I end up bouncing back to soap bc of the pandemic and not sure if this was good for my skin over time like the soap was doing something for me. I’ve started again for the winter months it is working out great again. I’ve done this for my scalp as well and it yielded some good results to my horrible dandruff made worse by hair products. I think for a lot of ppl less is more and can really improve a lot of issues in health. And even simpler less processed balanced diet wouldnt hurt either. I’ve suffered from most gut disorders for over ten years and after some medical aiding and eating more simply not only improve gut but my skin. Your overall diet, exercise and treatment of your body is everything. Drink water, exercise, stop putting anything in your body and on your skin, and hair, which can also cause acne and can have undesirable chemicals. Lessen stress and do what’s healthy for you. Things should improve since these are things your system desires, so just give in to it.
I also use Dove soap!! I have been using it for 9-10 years and I agree it does make your skin feel drier but I just alleviate it with my Cetaphil moisturizer. I have v dry skin as well! The combo works for me and my skin hasn’t been as prone to breaking out ever since I started Dove. However, like you said Holly, skincare is not a one size fits all so what could work for us might not work well with someone else!
Giiiirl, may I just say, You are sooo beautiful. BTW, I am also thinking about washing my hair and face with water only but don't know how to start and transition.
For a lot of people minimal skincare is the best way to go. I only use water to wash my face (unless I have worn makeup) and occasionally use moisturiser.
my skin is sensitive and acne prone and let me tell you this, I tried washing with water for 1 week and I rarely get any pimples, I usually get like 3-5 new pimples every time I wake up, now there are some days where I don't get any pimples and some days where I get only 1 or 2, but they're not as big as the pimples I get before, my skin is also very oily and I swear to god my skin started producing less oil, my skin usually gets oily as fuck after 30 minutes but now it takes more than an hour, even I couldn't believe it, all the money I spent on products are such a waste, If only I knew this earlier
@@xtragum6810 that's amazing. I try to wash my face with only water in the morning now. I had severe chronic acne and just finished accutane. Some products we find now are just harsh ,drying and loaded with fragrance. I still use gentle cleansers for my face every night because I wear sunscreen during the day. 😊
Mine is sensitive n acne prone as well.. and its been 3 months since i have just only been washing my face with just water and zero products on my face ... and guess what zero acne.. I haven’t even been using moisturiser.. nothing at all.
Hey holy do you remember me from the another comment I said that I cut my hair and also regretting So i wanna tell you something As I said before that I cut a lot of front hair So yesterday I cut rest of my hair as short And now I managed to fix it And it really look good on me (My mom is not that much happy cause she prefers long hair I previously I used to have very long hair 😅😅)
I had great skin when I was younger and did nothing to it now I try all these anti aging skin care routines and have way worse skin so I’m gonna try nothing again 🤔
wait I've had tonnes of tiny bumps under my skin on my forehead, temples, chin and back for years and no skin routine has helped. Cutting out products got rid of my acne but the bumps still remain. I never connected it to my gut health before, but hearing you talk about it gave me another option to explore for fixing it! Do you have any tips for improving gut health?
I'm sorry You said touch my skin with my face? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 What!!!! But I gotta to say drinkin alot of water does wonders for real. Like yes I have to pee almost every other hour and its irritating sometimes. But the effects on skin and mostly achieving clear skin by drinking water is the best like literally cannot emphasize how much it works. Also I love you holly ❤
@@HollyGabrielle I'm pretty sure, the one I use is Palmer's cocoa butter. I used to get psoriasis on my face but haven't since I started using it every night x
you might wanna look into oil cleansing method. best way to get rid of makeup and impurities without drying off your skin. Almond oil or jojoba oil work best for me and I have dry-sensitive skin.
And don’t wipe your face with a towel, after washing your face with water, towels have a bunch of bacteria and cause acne, after washing your face, either let your face dry or dab a paper towel on your face to get rid of the water. Hope this helps
@@abbygriffith5237 hi there, probably an odd question but when I wash my face with water should I be doing a gentle massaging motion or is it better just to let the water hit my entire face and be done? I’m just not sure if I’m spreading oils around or something
I’m 2 weeks into water only on my face morning and night in the shower. During the day as well if I feel oily or sweaty. I use spf when I go outside. My skin has never felt more healthy . I hate when I read online about washing with water only and all I see is “ washing with water isn’t enough to remove dirt . “ dermatologists don’t recommend water only. But like honestly I think this is a load of crap and while maybe majority of people can benefit from a minimal skincare including cleanser and moisturizer I believe that everyone skin microbiome is different and for some with extremely sensitive skin they can maintain healthy skin with water only . If I put any cleanser or soap I actually disturb my skin natural ph / microbiome and therefore interfere with its natural functions ..Look my husband has perfect skin and has never used anything but water on his skin. I know guy skin is usually thicker and more resilient but ant the end of the day I think whatever works for you . I was using neutrogena gentle cleanser for sensitive skin for years bc it was the only cleanser my skin tolerated. this is about the most gentle cleaner you can find in stores ( no paraben no sulfate no alcohol no fragrances etc) but I still had issues with breakouts which I needed to treat with benzoyl peroxide. So I had a whole routine. Since I stopped cleansing I don’t have breakouts… I think some skin doesn’t need soap obv the rest of your body needs soap but everyone knows face skin is much different. Like if I need soap explain to me why my skin is clear with water only but angry and breaking out even when I’m not using harsh cleanser even while using sensitive gentle cleansers and non comedogenic moisturizers that are formulated for sensitive skin???
Let me tell you about my skin. As a teen, I had a fair amount of acne. As much as I shouldn’t have, I popped them all. When I turned 18, like a flick of a switch, my acne disappeared for the most part. At that time, I was in university where I was sleep deprived, drank tons of coffee, hardly exercised, and of course, stressed out to the max but my skin was fine. I’m 29 now and my skin has never been better. I still get the odd ball pimple here and there but it isn’t the end of the world to me. I have never followed a skin care routine, I only wash my face with soap and water daily, never used cleansers or toners or face masks or whatnot. I eat whatever I want, junk food and sweets included and I drink until I’m no longer thirsty (definitely less than 8 glasses a day!). I do exfoliate in the shower using my fingernails…gently. And I might use a teeny bit of moisturizer on my cheeks after a shower if needed. But other than that, I don’t follow any elaborate skin care routines or diets. I think the skin care industry is just scamming people and diet does not play a vital role in your skin. I do think genetics and hormones play massive roles, however. I’m not a dermatologist so I can’t say that for sure. But that’s my experience, I’m sure there will be some angry users triggered by this and want to beg to differ. I dunno, what do you all think? Have I defied the laws of biology with this lifestyle??
Depends person to person really. I know friends that are in your exact boat. But I know when I ate whatever I wanted, mt skin was a wrec. Cleaned up my diet when I turned 19 and that helped a lot.
Dove isn’t even actually soap. It’s a detergent, that why it’s labeled as a ‘beauty bar’ because they can’t legally use the word soap (that would be misleading).
I want to tell you guys my skin become so oily after applying rubbish products and cosmetics.its oily ness doesn't go even after applying oily skin face wash 😢due to which my skin started breakouts and just coz of rubbish products my skin barrier damaged very badly and increased acne allover my face😢so stopped using all the products few days before and for oily ness I was only using simple gentle face wash but still felt oily ness and acne breakouts 😢i decided not to use face wash and just wash my face only with water and u won't believe today I washed my face and I feel less oily than yesterday 😮I was amazed how it s possible but I m so happy for the result now I decided to dump my facewash too and start to wash my face only with water 😊❤
My whole life I have only washed with water and then used moisturiser... now I’m thinking so everyone else washes with a product and i’ve been doing it wrong the whole time?
Don't worry you're not the only one here that just uses water and some moisturiser afterwards. I only use a product if I've had makeup on and that's not very often.
Holly as I am your new subscriber so I was watching your old new york vlog and I saw that you were watching "the intern" so, I also watched it and it was a nice movie I think you should make a video or just reply to me here only movies suggestions I know you haven't watched many movies so, just tell me you favourite movie and tv shows so, that we can divert our minds from studies and what's going in the world for some time. Mine favourite tv shows are 1) one tree hill (drama) 2) young Sheldon (comedy) Please tell me your's also🙏
Maybe this is the time to stop using soap just only water 😯 there's no wrong when I try it right? No expenses to be beautiful 😀 no need to buy 😀I hope it fits mine. My face is oily 😁
Hi , I am also an Indian but just like her I have never had acne on my skin but my mother had struggles in her childhood ... So as it could affect me in a hereditary way , it didn't because I have given up junk food for like 3 years now...I only eat fish and milk but no meat , or egg... so my skin is healthy.. actually the Indian diet is full of oils and unhealthy fats which affect our skin...So I also wash my face with water only because I forget to use my face wash..😂 and I exercise a lot and study a lot so like I don't get time to take care of my skin but my diet does.......😂.....

cleanser with or without sodium laureth sulphate?
What sunscreen do you recommend for people with dry and sensitive skin to fragrances?
@@ashwathinair with. It is a detergent that most people tolerate well. It is less harsh than sodium lauryl sulphate. try it out and see if it's not too drying. always follow up with moisturiser
I think the less we experiment with our skin the better
I wash my face with only water too. Splash of cold water in the morning and put on a pea size blob of E45 moisturing lotion on dry patches and thats it. No make up, no serums, no face washes, no added potions. Oh I also change my pillow case once a week. Love being low maintenance 😁👍🏻

Update please. After 9 months are you still washing with only water?
There is zero scientific evidence of a vegan diet improving skin. Don't confuse real science with monetized pseudoscience.
Do you still use moisturizer and toner though?

my skin is sensitive and acne prone and let me tell you this, I tried washing with water for 1 week and I rarely get any pimples, I usually get like 3-5 new pimples every time I wake up, now there are some days where I don't get any pimples and some days where I get only 1 or 2, but they're not as big as the pimples I get before, my skin is also very oily and I swear to god my skin started producing less oil, my skin usually gets oily as fuck after 30 minutes but now it takes more than an hour, even I couldn't believe it, all the money I spent on products are such a waste, If only I knew this earlier
@@xtragum6810 that's amazing. I try to wash my face with only water in the morning now. I had severe chronic acne and just finished accutane. Some products we find now are just harsh ,drying and loaded with fragrance. I still use gentle cleansers for my face every night because I wear sunscreen during the day. 😊
Mine is sensitive n acne prone as well.. and its been 3 months since i have just only been washing my face with just water and zero products on my face ... and guess what zero acne.. I haven’t even been using moisturiser.. nothing at all.
@@Brinzdhillon I want to try this but my forehead is pretty dry and can get flaky so idk if I could go without a moisturizer... do u have dry skin?
I can't believe I'm 14 sec after you posted video haha, love you Holly
Hey holy do you remember me from the another comment
I said that I cut my hair and also regretting
So i wanna tell you something
As I said before that I cut a lot of front hair
So yesterday I cut rest of my hair as short
And now I managed to fix it
And it really look good on me
(My mom is not that much happy cause she prefers long hair I previously I used to have very long hair 😅😅)
Im jealous with your clear skin. 😢😢😢 i hope my skin is like that
Holly love this thank you for being such an inspiration to all x
all I can think about is that you don't change your bed sheets regularly. They should be changed once per week.
It's one of the things I mentioned in my comment too. The bacteria can't be doing any good from her pillowcase.
oops 😬
If you sleep on your back without the blankets on your face, it doesn't really matter
@@jmaldo92 at night skin cells turnover all over your body, not just your face, so no.not to mention sweat and body oils.
@@jazzym88 I guess? I have pretty (or normal) skin though and it's not something that's keeping me up at night
I had great skin when I was younger and did nothing to it now I try all these anti aging skin care routines and have way worse skin so I’m gonna try nothing again 🤔
Me too
Did it help?
wait I've had tonnes of tiny bumps under my skin on my forehead, temples, chin and back for years and no skin routine has helped. Cutting out products got rid of my acne but the bumps still remain. I never connected it to my gut health before, but hearing you talk about it gave me another option to explore for fixing it! Do you have any tips for improving gut health?
I guess probiotics and things like curd and replacement of sugar with jaggery should help. It did for me though :)))
Intermittent fasting is good too
Yayyyy never been this early,luv u holly,your videos are just like antibiotics, with a strong dose of kindness and care,love you love frm.india
I'm sorry
You said touch my skin with my face?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What!!!!
But I gotta to say drinkin alot of water does wonders for real. Like yes I have to pee almost every other hour and its irritating sometimes. But the effects on skin and mostly achieving clear skin by drinking water is the best like literally cannot emphasize how much it works.
Also I love you holly ❤
Put a lil bit oil on your shower dail..it helps getting it smooth. Its probably just rust
You motivated to a extent where i am only dreaming of cambridge,I just want u to be like this forever
Cocoa butter is super good for dry skin and I've barely gotten any spots since I started using it! X
wait like chocolate?!
@@HollyGabrielle I'm pretty sure, the one I use is Palmer's cocoa butter. I used to get psoriasis on my face but haven't since I started using it every night x
@@HollyGabrielle it’s a moisturiser
you might wanna look into oil cleansing method. best way to get rid of makeup and impurities without drying off your skin.
Almond oil or jojoba oil work best for me and I have dry-sensitive skin.
I have an oily face can i use jojoba oil too? Thanks
How do you dry your face after washing it? Do you let it dry by its self?
How can you remove the dirt and oil after a whole day with only water and hand ? Please tell me ... I'm leaving soaps.
@chonky mf I use moisturizer and sunscreen and water only works great for me been doing it for years
how do you remove blackheads without using products ?
@@psychakilla I don't use products and barely ever get black heads. When I had one it came out on its own
I've been washing my face only with water for a week und my skin is breaking out
What should I do
Put ice cubes in a towel and put it on your acne spots
Thats what I did and I have clear skin now
And don’t wipe your face with a towel, after washing your face with water, towels have a bunch of bacteria and cause acne, after washing your face, either let your face dry or dab a paper towel on your face to get rid of the water.
Hope this helps
@@abbygriffith5237 hi there, probably an odd question but when I wash my face with water should I be doing a gentle massaging motion or is it better just to let the water hit my entire face and be done? I’m just not sure if I’m spreading oils around or something
I’m 2 weeks into water only on my face morning and night in the shower. During the day as well if I feel oily or sweaty. I use spf when I go outside. My skin has never felt more healthy . I hate when I read online about washing with water only and all I see is “ washing with water isn’t enough to remove dirt . “ dermatologists don’t recommend water only. But like honestly I think this is a load of crap and while maybe majority of people can benefit from a minimal skincare including cleanser and moisturizer I believe that everyone skin microbiome is different and for some with extremely sensitive skin they can maintain healthy skin with water only . If I put any cleanser or soap I actually disturb my skin natural ph / microbiome and therefore interfere with its natural functions ..Look my husband has perfect skin and has never used anything but water on his skin. I know guy skin is usually thicker and more resilient but ant the end of the day I think whatever works for you . I was using neutrogena gentle cleanser for sensitive skin for years bc it was the only cleanser my skin tolerated. this is about the most gentle cleaner you can find in stores ( no paraben no sulfate no alcohol no fragrances etc) but I still had issues with breakouts which I needed to treat with benzoyl peroxide. So I had a whole routine. Since I stopped cleansing I don’t have breakouts… I think some skin doesn’t need soap obv the rest of your body needs soap but everyone knows face skin is much different. Like if I need soap explain to me why my skin is clear with water only but angry and breaking out even when I’m not using harsh cleanser even while using sensitive gentle cleansers and non comedogenic moisturizers that are formulated for sensitive skin???
ily Hollyyy ❤️❤️❤️
Let me tell you about my skin. As a teen, I had a fair amount of acne. As much as I shouldn’t have, I popped them all. When I turned 18, like a flick of a switch, my acne disappeared for the most part. At that time, I was in university where I was sleep deprived, drank tons of coffee, hardly exercised, and of course, stressed out to the max but my skin was fine. I’m 29 now and my skin has never been better. I still get the odd ball pimple here and there but it isn’t the end of the world to me. I have never followed a skin care routine, I only wash my face with soap and water daily, never used cleansers or toners or face masks or whatnot. I eat whatever I want, junk food and sweets included and I drink until I’m no longer thirsty (definitely less than 8 glasses a day!). I do exfoliate in the shower using my fingernails…gently. And I might use a teeny bit of moisturizer on my cheeks after a shower if needed. But other than that, I don’t follow any elaborate skin care routines or diets. I think the skin care industry is just scamming people and diet does not play a vital role in your skin. I do think genetics and hormones play massive roles, however. I’m not a dermatologist so I can’t say that for sure. But that’s my experience, I’m sure there will be some angry users triggered by this and want to beg to differ. I dunno, what do you all think? Have I defied the laws of biology with this lifestyle??
Depends person to person really. I know friends that are in your exact boat. But I know when I ate whatever I wanted, mt skin was a wrec. Cleaned up my diet when I turned 19 and that helped a lot.
Hi, what moisturizer do you use when you use it ? :-)
@@user-gc3rv6jw3n Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Daily Body Moisturizer
Dove isn’t even actually soap. It’s a detergent, that why it’s labeled as a ‘beauty bar’ because they can’t legally use the word soap (that would be misleading).
How beautiful you are😍 with no aging signs😮
I touch my skin with my face, best quote ever hahaah love it!
HAHHAHAHAHHHA i had to watch this back!
Haha omg changing bed sheets every 6 weeks 😂
I wash my every week!

You wash your face with cold or hot water?
Do we use normal tap water for washing our face?? Or lukewarm??
ermmmm in the shower i have the water pretty hot ngl!
@@HollyGabrielle omg!!! thank you so much. ly
Holly,could you share something about hair? I don’t have skin struggle either, but I am really worried about the hair loss.
We have to use moisturizer after washing face with water only ????
Wow u still wash ur face with water ... but u still beautiful and forever motivating from South Africa
You're right.... Thank you Holly..🙂

canon g7x mark ii ✌🏻
I want to tell you guys my skin become so oily after applying rubbish products and cosmetics.its oily ness doesn't go even after applying oily skin face wash 😢due to which my skin started breakouts and just coz of rubbish products my skin barrier damaged very badly and increased acne allover my face😢so stopped using all the products few days before and for oily ness I was only using simple gentle face wash but still felt oily ness and acne breakouts 😢i decided not to use face wash and just wash my face only with water and u won't believe today I washed my face and I feel less oily than yesterday 😮I was amazed how it s possible but I m so happy for the result now I decided to dump my facewash too and start to wash my face only with water 😊❤
How is your experience now?
My whole life I have only washed with water and then used moisturiser... now I’m thinking so everyone else washes with a product and i’ve been doing it wrong the whole time?
Don't worry you're not the only one here that just uses water and some moisturiser afterwards. I only use a product if I've had makeup on and that's not very often.
did you still used sun screen?
Do you wear sun screen ?
I love you sm... you have inspired me alot ❤❤❤
Use skin&soul facial steamer, skinandsoull.com/, very nice effect on skin
Holly as I am your new subscriber so I was watching your old new york vlog and I saw that you were watching "the intern" so, I also watched it and it was a nice movie I think you should make a video or just reply to me here only movies suggestions I know you haven't watched many movies so, just tell me you favourite movie and tv shows so, that we can divert our minds from studies and what's going in the world for some time.
Mine favourite tv shows are
1) one tree hill (drama)
2) young Sheldon (comedy)
Please tell me your's also🙏
Maybe this is the time to stop using soap just only water 😯 there's no wrong when I try it right? No expenses to be beautiful 😀 no need to buy 😀I hope it fits mine. My face is oily 😁
How was your experience?
Loved this!!
How much water do you drink in liters daily?👀
We Indians have skin full of pimples cuz of the whether😂....
Washing our face with or without water doesn't help here😂
Loved your video tho💛🇮🇳
Hi , I am also an Indian but just like her I have never had acne on my skin but my mother had struggles in her childhood ... So as it could affect me in a hereditary way , it didn't because I have given up junk food for like 3 years now...I only eat fish and milk but no meat , or egg... so my skin is healthy.. actually the Indian diet is full of oils and unhealthy fats which affect our skin...So I also wash my face with water only because I forget to use my face wash..😂 and I exercise a lot and study a lot so like I don't get time to take care of my skin but my diet does.......😂.....
@@bikromjitganguly9817 hahaha you are totally an exception lol
Do you exfoliate your skin?
Does water cleaning is enough
You should try Liz Earle cleanse and polish
Hi, how did you get thru the dead skin cells phase?
With a body bag
Early squad!
Loving the bun ❤️

LOVE YOU HOLLY! ;)
