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 know people who smell like an acid bath after a few hours of work. They’ll get home, strip all the oil off their bodies, let their skin dry out and wonder why they smell like shit.
Others can sweat it out, and not smell. When I ask them about their hygiene habits, it’s never a surprise to me to hear they don’t use soaps unless they’re very dirty.
Then there’s Luke, fucking Luke. Smells like a rolled ball sack from the moment he leaves the shower. He even went to see a dermatologist about it and got told that’s just his microbiome. For Luke, I’m glad deodorant exists.
My SO is Asian and they just don’t much BO at all, due to genetics and whatnot. I can sometimes get away with skipping a day showering, but only if I’ve been very lazy all day. Other people need two showers/day to be presentable. It very much varies by person.

Hygiene is like diet, one side does not fit all.

Exactly.

My ex never used deodorant and he didn’t smell bad. I think for some people it works and for others it doesn’t.
They probably have that gene that makes their body odor not stink.
Onetime someone was trying to be mean to me but they said “I’d try to insult how you smell, but you literally smell like nothing”
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.
many oduors subside once you get rid of candida and bacteria. I had smelly sweaty feet, lost 30 kilos, feet dry and no smell anymoe, i am so happy.
