I, too, love to smell products. But try, just for a couple of weeks. Just splash water on your face, or use a washcloth (not necessary though), and dry with a towel. You WILL feel clean. Same with the shower. I promise. If you feel the need, do several times a day, just DON"T use any product. <br /> You still wear clean clothes, brush your teeth, and can wash your hair, you are just letting your skin recover from the hiatus that are commercial products. It's not like you are fermenting in your goo without any hygiene at all ( this is a term hubby and I came up with, when we get up, clean chicken coops, goat kennels, chop wood, etc etc, without a shower. We call it a FIG day Ferment In Goo.. HAHA)<br />You can use you sweet smelling products on your arms or legs, if you are going through withdrawl <br />Hope you give it a try!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009721697718011689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787377491196386141.post-6380826940745305472014-06-26T23:15:09.334-05:002014-06-26T23:15:09.334-05:00I'm scared to try this as my face and hair get...I'm scared to try this as my face and hair get so greasy just overnight. But, I have heard that by stripping the oils you are just making the glands produce more, so you are probably on to something. I bet there is an "adjustment period" though. I guess it can't make it much worse though, so I shall try!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791021335260285130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787377491196386141.post-57849840098865089252014-06-26T23:13:29.616-05:002014-06-26T23:13:29.616-05:00I will call back tomorrow and see how it goes.

I hope this post doesn't conta...Hey Elizabeth, <br />I hope this post doesn't contain TMI, and I will try to tone it down! HA! If you are having break outs, I would recommend washing with water only. The other products strip your skin of its natural oils and cause you to overproduce. Try it for 2 weeks, and see if your body adjusts.<br />My GYN (who is sadly retired and lives in CA now) was a very wise Korean man that realized that we are all "brainwashed by P & G". Through his practice, he was able to discern that the women who looked (and smelled) the best were the ones that used little to no artificial product. He told all of his patients to use NO SOAP and drink a bunch of water. <br />He outlines this in a book he wrote "Chunging" (his name is Yunjo Chung). Not exactly a NY Bestseller, but it makes so much sense. <br />As an OBGyn, he especially advises nothing artificial on the girl parts, as this area is the cleanest there is, it is designed to pass a baby through. Catch my drift?<br />Also, the front girl part produces an enzyme that automatically cleans the back part, if you know what I mean. If you use soap there, well, you are stripping it. <br />Much like we do with our faces. <br />Anyway, sorry if this is a rant, but I feel very strongly about this, and have not used soap to shower (only water) for the past 20 plus years. <br />You really won't smell ( folks that do are not washing at all)<br />& Dr Chung looked 40, and was 70!!! (& always looked impeccable)<br />Anyway, it is worth a try; it certainly won't cost you any money! <br />Just remember, our skin is designed to fix itself, from head to toe!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009721697718011689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787377491196386141.post-49436763799084834762014-06-26T18:55:05.521-05:002014-06-26T18:55:05.521-05:00I just canceled Proactive too.

He asked why I wanted to cancel, and if I wanted to try the plus version. That was it. Maybe if you call back, you'll get someone that's not so pushy. I hate calling too!
