Woman shares incredible results of not washing her face for a few months

A woman has shared the shocking results of having stopped washing her face for several months.

While most of us view skincare as a chance to pamper ourselves, TikToker @imen.akremi has scaled back her routine with astonishing results.

Though she admits it ‘sounds crazy’, you can see the results for yourself here:

Bare-faced before the camera, Imen explained the reason behind her decision to ditch the face wash.

“…my face now looks like a potato because I just woke up,” she joked adding: “But let me tell you something, I stopped washing my face at morning since months ago."

She even admitted she would have thought it was ‘disgusting’ before trying the beauty hack herself – however, she told viewers she has no regrets.

“But now, this is what I do and I like it,” she said bluntly.

Rather than scrubbing the entirety of her face, Imen opts for wiping her eyes with water to remove any debris from the night before.

She will then lightly mist her face with rose water before drying her skin with light dabs using a face cloth to get any excess away.

“After this, my face feels fresh, clean and I don’t need to do much," she said, as she showed a close up of her stunning skin afterwards.

Though many of us are used to spending a small fortune on beauty products, some of us may now be tempted to switch up our routines after seeing the short clip.

Imen isn’t the only fan of skipping morning washes - many celebs, including Magic Mike’s Salma Hayek, have also been known to do this.

In fact, the actor recently admitted that she refuses to wash her face in the morning, after being told the beauty secret as a young woman by her grandmother.

Given that the Latino star is in her fifties and still regularly shares makeup-free selfies on social media, it’s hard to argue with the advice.

She explained: “What happens at night is your skin produces all the oils that your skin needs to look youthful. It regenerates. So, wash your skin really great at night but don't wash the hard work off your skin in the morning.”.

Other celebs, such as Cameron Diaz, have even admitted to rarely washing their face.

Maybe save yourself the cash next time you do your top up shop and skip the cleanser.
