Get a Japanese washcloth, you animals. It's like a loofah that's been unraveled into a single rough cloth. A bit of body wash or even a bar of soap folded into it and you can hold the ends and scrub your body and back. Gets off all the dead skin and sweat, it's great.

I read something a few months ago about a dermatologist saying that you don't need something that rough to remove any dead skin, and that literally your hand or anything soft would fit the bill.

That being said, I still use a pretty rough "soap bag".

Whoa, another human knows of the magic of these things? They're awesome. Works exactly as you described, great for back. Lasts forever. Doesn't hold water or grossness, only suds. Perfectly abrasive, for baby smooth skin. Thanks Japan. A+

Hands, by virtue of being the things doing the scrubbing, should be red.

Check out this guy scrubbing with his hands instead of using his head as a loofah like a normal person

If you have any "deep scrub" areas, your hands have to be "deep scrub" as well. Otherwise, what are you scrubbing with?

I always do the deep scrubbing, then scrub the hands. Feels like a no brainer but I'm probably expecting too much from my peers

2

I throw shampoo into the loofa, then scrub 5he loofa with my hands to get the foam going, then the whole body. It's scientifically proven by myself with a sample size of 1 that if your body isn't covered in foam applied from the loofa, you are a stinky.

Scrub your feet unless you want yellow toenails like grandpa

That's actually not to do with washing. That's fungus, which soap won't kill.

Washing your feet prevents if from growing in the first place.

YES

i saw someone on twitter say this is basically correct - it's bad for the skin to constantly wash the rest for no reason

8

Seriouslyis this not good enough? I only do a full body soap weekly.

Missing the 'ole gooch chooch. Crank the heat up and blast your taint with the shower head.

The other day my girlfriend said, "I'm pretty fast at showering. I know exactly where to clean."

Yall are stinky. It takes like 1-2 min to scrub your whole body. It takes me more time to scrub my back than the rest of my body. Get a loofa or whatever, it's fast.

As an athlete, good god that would leave me smelly long term lol But also this is probably accurate for 99% of teenage boys

Well, after a really sweaty workout session you should wash your whole body, but washing it with chemicals every day damages the natural barrier.

2

You beat me to it, good sir. Here’s some alt-text: “I didn't wash today. I wasn't dirty. If I'm not dirty, I don't wash. Some weeks I don't have to shower at all. I just groom my three basic areas: teeth, hair, and asshole. And to save time, I use the same brush.”

1

hair only gets washed every few days, and the feet get washed once or twice daily. otherwise accurate.

3

If I've gone to the trouble of undressing, turning on the fan, etc, then I'm gonna actually wash everywhere, even if it's quick. Otherwise, it's basically just a rinse, which seems pointless.

2

That the comments are as much in agreement as I was expecting is depressing. There are a lot deep, dark things I'll tell the internet, but "What's wrong with never washing?" is somehow not one of them.

2

Yes I do not soap my feet as I'll get a rash on my lower legs from much soap. From time to time I use a special mild detergent.

Hell no, I definitely wash my feet and hands. Feet usually get a deep scrub and hands get washed on a regular basis anyways so they just get a standard scrub.
