Examples

“The trend toward abstinence and “skin fasting” makes sense, especially in response to the recent product mania of 12-step routines that add a new retinoid, face mask, or serum on a monthly basis.”

“In some cases, skin fasting can be as simple as skipping out on skin-care products once a week at night before bed. However, I opted to try out the more intense version where I skipped all makeup and skin-care products other than water and SPF for an entire week.”

“While proponents of skin fasting might claim that your skin needs time to reset, the delay in results could be frustrating for some individuals who are accustomed to seeing quick improvements from their regular skin care routine.”
