I often get hate for this but I stopped using soap or shampoo in my daily shower years ago. I exercise and sauna etc. And theres just no way I could be that nose blind. My friend group take any opportunity to poke fun and my odour is never the butt of the joke

I havent used shampoo in a bit over a year and my hair and head skin is better than ever.

Cant live without soap tho.

The general idea, that putting a bunch of really aggressive chemicals on your skin is bad for it, has some sense behind it imo.

Get a low pH(5.5) body soap.

It will allow you to properly wash yourself off but still maintain a healthy environment for the good bacteria.

Normal soaps are like a 9-10 pH. Which wreaks havoc on the good bacteria. And allows the bad an opportunity to colonize your skin

so... soaps are generally base and not acid, 5.5 is a weak acid. (sorry had to edit cause i thought it was stronger)

soap is generally 12ph

what is happening here? are you using acid soap? how different is it from normal soap? how does it taste?

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Perhaps Body wash would have been a better term to use.

However in the general parlance of the word "soap" it still lathers and washes just like normal body soap does but they've somehow figured a way to keep the pH acidic and skin/good bacteria friendly. A bit more pricey but if you have sensitive skin or you find your body odor creeps in too soon after a shower, give it a try. Your skin will thank you for it.
