    Maybe nofap and cold showers caused acne...

    I am right now at 20 days of hardmode, and I have noticed for several days that my face has deteriorated. irritation appeared, the cheeks look ugly, they are all red and I get more and more pimples
    On my previous streak 40 days i noticed the same.
    What can this be caused by?
    since I take cold showers, my complexion has been getting worse for five days.

    What do you think about it? Maybe fucking hormones were changed and that's why? I am really sad.

    Thank you and sorry for my not good enough english.

    umm I think nofap removes acne from face? That is the case with me.

    Try to eat less junk food and see what will happen

    It's all about hormones ... Going from a fapper to nofap may do changes.. so it can pop pimples sometimes but not always... I too have experienced it when I don't fap sometimes I get a pimple but not always... Pimple are caused from many things, it can also be due to dirt dust from pollution or from indigestion, constipation

    Cold showers close your pores. Make sure you use warm water to clean yourself and then switch to cold water at the end. I use a face cleaner too.

    Acne comes from the liver. Are you eating unhealthy? Perhaps salty or sugary? Maybe if u fapped a lot your hormones are getting back in order and your liver is processing them with difficulty from the prolonged nofap effects. Just let ur body get used to it get some glamglow face mask and good face wash from sephora possibly moustourizer and look at some YouTube videos on how to use them in the morning and night

    Keep doing man, Keep doing it's the effects of the firsts days, it's a good sign

    It's your body that it's recreating all the good for you. Because acne come to age of 13 and during this age most of boys masturbate and loose their sperm, and it's in this sperm that have all the benefits for you, your body.

    So keep doing man.

    Dry sauna followed by a cold shower and watch your face clear up in no time. Sweating opens up your pores and pushes dirt and bacteria out,then the cold shower closes your pores again, it's worked great for me. Plus it has the added benefit of allowing you a quiet place to just go and think about life or practice some form of meditation. I cant recomend them enough
     
  16. Just wash you're face 2-3 times a day. Prefer warm water over cold water for the face. Of its really bad, you could use typical benzoyl peroxide gel or wash. Or see a dermatologist.

    In the last 2 years I've observed when i have a good streak going, acne decreases, kind of opposite of what's happening with you.

    Hope this helps, take care ;)

    Hey mate,

    I know most people say that nofap clears up acne, in my case nofap has made me break out as well, predominately cystic acne. I'm just under 30 days, so I'm not to sure if it will get better. From what other people have been saying I think it will get better, it's probably just stress hormones, and your brain rebalancing itself. It's important to remember that nofap is actually really stressful to your body, I'm noticing my hands slightly trembling for example. Your brain is sending out stress signals because it's not receiving it's regular dopamine hits.
     
  19. Seeing a derm is probably the best option then, I'm just sharing my experience I am no Doctor. But if you wanna take my advice, benzoyl peroxide works...I tried tons of different products for 3~4 years, but finally went to see a dermatologist, she gave me different gels every time I went to her, but the contents always were benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin/nicotinamide...idk all of them, but I have 100% faith in benzoyl peroxide, it actually works on acne.
    Or....you could just wait, they might go off on their own, happens to some people.
