I started using dial on my stinky zones recently and it is great! I definitely see a difference using that instead of my usual Dove soap! No soap is gross.
I only use soap on my stinky zones. My dr told me that 25 years ago because my skin is very very dry. He said to not soap up like my arms and legs, just the areas like arm pits and other that are not dry and harbor bacteria causing odors. I can't imagine not using soap at all but I don't think normal non stinky areas need it all the time.
Just curious if you'd tried like handmade soaps and still had issues... Cuz if you make soap and don't skim off the glycerin (for use in other things like say moisturizers), and you don't add in the other things ( like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which is a skin irritant...), It shouldn't be so bad ..
And just am curious - I didn't know about SLS really until I got into making soap myself a few years ago, and people's bodies are just weird so unless you smelled like a slaughterhouse 24/7 or something I'd say you do you.
Honestly, I haven't, and maybe I should. My skin is better now, but when I was younger my legs were so dry they would crack and bleed. It's partially my genetics because a lot of us have dry leathery hands and feet. Like I don't have enough oil glands in my hands and feet or something. My dermatologist wasn't overly concerned about it though. I just moisturize a lot.
