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?

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.
