There is a lot we can learn from our caveman ancestors. Their fossils help us trace the evolution of the human species. Their lifestyle paints a picture of how we adapted to survive in difficult environments. But what about their skincare routine?
The latest social media skincare trend that everyone is talking about is the caveman method. The trend has been gaining popularity lately thanks to a TikTok user who claims to have not washed her face in six weeks.
"I'm not sure I understand why caveman skincare is a trend," says Jeaneen A. Chappell a Board Certified Dermatologist. "These trends [possibly] represent anti-consumerism and naturalism for some people. However, people should consult a dermatologist before initiating a new TikTok skincare trend."
The caveman skincare method is a minimalist approach that is supposed to help with resetting and strengthening your natural skin barrier, but is it actually safe to try?
