    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.

      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+

      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”.

    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

        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.

    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.

    The other day my girlfriend said, “I’m pretty fast at showering. I know exactly where to clean.”

    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

      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.

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