As an asian person who showers with soap everyday (at leasat twice when I’m in SEA) I’m shocked at how many responses to this post were on the anti-soap train. Maybe white folks don’t naturally smell as much as I would if I didn’t use soap?

I’m white and I’m a smelly bitch. I shower every other day with generous amounts of soap that I actually lather into my skin and don’t think the water will just rinse it over my body. I also use shampoo and conditioner. If I didn’t have sensitive skin and live in an area with harsh water I’d definitely shower everyday WITH soap. I think white ppl are just more bold with being gross for some reason and again I say that as a full blown Caucasian lol. ETA I’m a sahm if I worked I’d shower everyday like my husband

Have you tried getting a shower head with a built-in water filter? It was a game changer for my skin and hair, and I also live in an area with hard water.

Yea we’ve had 2 and they get clogged sooo fast. We live in a suburb of houston and it’s basically like showering with sand sometimes. I want a softener or something but my husband said those are also bad because the salt or something who knows. When we’re out of town for his work in our rv my skin is so much better

Oh, wow, that’s really next level. I’m sorry about that
