Yeah I’m also in the don’t use soap all the time camp. I haven’t used shampoo outside of a handful of times in like ten years. Your body does have a pretty complex system of oils that keep your skin and hair healthy and it’s not great to strip that off every day. Obviously if you’re getting dirty working or exerting yourself you wanna get clean, but normal day-to-day, you don’t gotta do all that. One thing that I think people don’t realize is that it takes a little bit for your shit to get back to normal after denuding yourself of your natural oils every day. I really noticed it with my hair being really greasy for a couple weeks when I stopped shampooing. But it does equalize after a little bit and then you’re in pretty good shape to just use detergents at a lower rate.
