who shower barehanded
There is another way...?
What? What kind of heathen doesn't have a pair of heavy duty work gloves for showering? Am I the only civilized one among us?!
Personally I never get in the shower without my circular saw
Follow-up question: do you wash your feet extra or do you also think that the shower gel water below will fix that?
I'm 196cm tall. Do you know how far I need to go down to wash them? I trust trickling down soapy water will fix that.
Anywhere skin-on-skin contact occurs (butt, balls, armpits), I use a small amount of benzoyl peroxide facewash. It kills the bacteria responsible for BO and for 24-48 hours body odor is impossible.
You apply it, wait 5 minutes and rinse well. If you don't rinse well you can bleach your towel or clothes.
As far as body soap goes, I use a a fragrance free body wash with salicylic acid. Heavy mechanical exfoliation is not necessary when using a chemical exfoliant. Also, loofas are just a bunch of plastic waste.
After the shower, I use a lightweight gel moisturizer with cerimides. I use a thicker moisturizer on my hands and weenis.
That's just the body. I--of course--have a completely seperate routine for my face.
You can use an actual luffa if you don't like the plastic. Originally they were just a dried out squash like plant.
Yeah, but the truth is it's not great for your skin.
However, they're great for scrubbing really dirty hands, feet, etc.
I shove the bar of soap strait up my ass and just express the foam into my hand from there until I'm done.
