Nofap=ugly skin Fap=nice skin why?

I have taken pictures of myself when i started nofap,and i get two pics per month.I stared nofap 17 months ago and when i compare first and last pic different is:
-Picture taken when i started nofap day 1(Let's say faper) Skin look okay,i have much acne,eyes looks like i m tired and angry no shiny eyes,weaker beard,looking drained and feel drained.
-Picture taken from 17-month of nofap:Skin honestly looks better and smooth,i might have two little acne on my face,eyes are shiny and full of life,beard got thicker,looking nice and feeling very energetically and my jaw line is more defined.
That's my experience,everyone is different,even if we have totally separated opinion i respect your.

 

I think that it's mostly due to hormones fluctuation during a reboot, causing eruptions. Exercise, sleep, skincare, and diet are playing a role as well. Try making changes in your diet to see what kind of aliment makes your skin worse. Dopamine might be a cause too.
Maybe try one week without sugar, then one week without dairy, then without carb and make your conclusions.

I'm also suffering from light to medium acne since teenagehood (I'm 26), pimples never completely gone away. I noticed that my skin looks better while on semen retention streak.

Unfortunately, we can read everything and its opposite concerning acne causes, some people have very fragile skin, easily proper to infection but I think that in the first place hormones play the major role in the apparition of pimples and then, lifestyle and skin type cause superinfection.

 

acne its better than become sex slave with PIED i guess

i was have bad acne when im on nofap day 60 but girls notice me anyway even i have bad acne,

but its better now my skin is brighten compared with the first day of nofap

 

Testosterone increases in the beginning of NoFap, causing skin to get thicker and oilier. Acne is symptomatic for hormonal fluctuation (higher levels of testosterone), that's why women develop acne when testosterone gets dominant right before menstruation. NoFap hormonal fluctuations will settle with time.

 

See a dietician. There are many ways to take a high level of protein, and a dietician can figure out the best for you.

I would suggest that you see a skincare specialist for your acne. Such a person is best placed to give you good advice; here on these forums, we're not dieticians or skincare specialists

 

Semen retention isn't magic. In fact, there's no such thing as semen retention. If you don't ejaculate, your body just takes the semen, and either breaks it down to rebuild into new protein for something else, or gets rid of it through your body's waste. The important thing is not "semen retention" but instead quitting your addiction and living your life!

 

The hormones that is influenced by NoFap will stabilize. But NoFap is not everything. Genetics, inflammation, diet, excercise, well everything you can possibly do with your time and your health will influence the condition of your complexion. Still, 6-7 weeks are not especially long time to evaluate anything. Give it more time.

Cut back on the excessive protein and start with fasts instead to raise HGH would be my suggestion, if you think protein might be the culprit.

 

if im not mistaken it was day 90 or 100 + that i notice that my acne problem are better (it happen at my last streak tho)

and i change some of my meal,,, i consume egg + protein drink for the gym back then ...when i limit the egg consumtion its better

 

so true!

 

soaring eagle talks about it,during nofap its a detox stage so your body will look intoxicated for a while

 

I had the same problem, I am 31 years old, I had almost perfect skin for decades even during my teen years, but my face started purging when I was on nofap 1.5 year ago although I ate rather clean (lots of water, lots of vegetables. no junk food or alchohol whatsoever).

My verdict is that, comparing to most fapstraunants my hormonal balance probably has been very stable but at a much lower level (.e.g my muscle and beard have been kinda underdeveloped comparing to many people, I assume I didnt truely hit puberty due to constant fapping). So as soon as I started nofap it brought up my T hormones to an ever highest level, hormones fluctuated like a little boy as it should finally hence the acne breakout. (for detail. see my previous posts).I end-up stopped fapping coz of my poor skin, and indeed my skin texture return back to baby-smooth like before soon afterward as I kept my fapping routine (multiple times per day, or at least once per day), but I felt so depressed and draining eversince although I had better skin.

About a month ago, I resumed nofap again, so far I havent had any new pimple popping out luckily, this time I am taking vitinam b5 supplments (Pantothenic acid) which is known for its function of controlling oil secretion, and effective for many teens suffering from acnes, i hope this will help. NoFap could be the way out, dont quit it due to poor skin, the purging will go away once your hormonal level is back to normal.
