  • Is soap bad for you? I stopped using soap at 13 years old because I was lazy and because I noticed it really wasn’t doing anything for me. But the reason I haven’t started using it again is because it turns out that soap might not really be that healthy for you!
    Using soap to wash your hands is lifesaving hygiene that eliminates many common diseases, makes hospitals safer, and really is a foundation of modern healthy life. But when it comes to washing the rest of your body with soap… the marketing got ahead of the science.

    i started for 1 week till now after watching some videos of people who stopped using soap. i only use water and a body sponge, i noticed that my skin becomes lighter and younger, unlike before my skin is dry and darker.

      I have a really bad skin condition to where my skin becomes scaley and peels. When I stopped using soap, my skin has almost become completely clear.

    Haven't used soap in around 15 years. Skin is baby smooth. My neighboor who recently just touched me told me I had baby skin. Well, I know. :) I'm 37. My skin is great. Not dry, elastic and healthy. I do use handsoap after going on the toilet. And soap to clean my dishes, etc.

    i can vouch for this. i stopped using body wash during covid because i was home all the time and didn't really feel like I needed it, and I noticed that after a long period of time of doing this, when I did use soap (even really natural/clean kinds), it made me smell alot worse than if I'd just used water. which tbh kind of bums me out because i like the feel of soap and all the scents it can come in, but i dont wanna throw off my natural microbiome or whatever that has adapted to not using soap

      Washing hair daily is the worst possible thing you could do for your hair. Once a month with conditioner is plenty. It's the secret to having perfect hair. I don't even wash my hair period. There's enough crap in tap water to strip your hair.

    I ditched using soap 4-5 years ago. I only use soap when I am dirtier than usual and I can almost instantly notice it changing how my skin feels. There is no way that using soap every single week can be anything other than unhealthy.

    Yea, I don't know about this one. Even if it is true, I like soap. I use this Eucalyptus body soap with moisturizer, and I like how it smells and makes me feel. I have also been in situations where I only used water for several days, I felt pretty grungy. Just because some random guy on the internet says something, doesn't necessarily mean it's true.
    Even if it is a marketing scam by big soap, I am okay with that.
