I haven't washed my face in a year, trolls call me dirty, but my skin is so glowy
A WOMAN has revealed she hasn't applied cleanser to her face in more than a year – and it seems to work wonders.
Candice from the US revealed that she hasn't cleansed her face or used any other skincare products to cure her acne in a whole year.

The brunette beauty shared her results on social media and revealed that her acne had completely cleared up after trying the stripped-down routine.
“It's been a year since I washed my face and it has healed my skin,” she claimed.
Candice then showed off photos of her blotchy and acne-ridden skin from a year ago.
“I was always convinced that this extensive, long skin care routine and all these beautiful products would cure my acne and heal my skin.
'But actually the opposite happened.
“In fact, cleansing my skin every day, morning and night, actually destroyed my skin's moisture barrier.”
The young woman has since ditched the soaps and lotions, opting to spritz her face with water to cleanse it and use a dry brush to exfoliate dead skin cells and scars.
Candice revealed that she regularly uses animal fat when she needs a deeper cleanse when wearing makeup.
She added that it also doubles as a natural moisturizer.
“I will apply some beef tallow if it is very cold outside to moisturize,” she added.
Despite the young woman swearing by the routine to keep her skin looking its best, some people were averse to the idea of not using cleanser.
The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @thrive with candice with over 5 million views and 310,000 likes.
And many more people became even more irritated by the idea of putting animal fat on their faces.
One person wrote: “Is there an alternative to beef fat? I really don't want a dead animal on my face?”
Another commented: “Same! When I stopped washing my face so often, my acne and oiliness disappeared. Now just once a day with an oil-based cleanser.”
“I'm the exact opposite. Finding a good cleanser and using simple skincare products has slowly healed my VERY sensitive skin (it's so bad my face burns when I sweat),” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “My skin is always better when I don't do anything to it at all (except moisturize – and wash after make-up).”
“Your skin literally looks like a filter! I'm interested in trying this,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Your skin looks great. Can't lie but beef fat is game.”
