      What? What kind of heathen doesn’t have a pair of heavy duty work gloves for showering? Am I the only civilized one among us?!

    Follow-up question: do you wash your feet extra or do you also think that the shower gel water below will fix that?

      I’m 196cm tall. Do you know how far I need to go down to wash them? I trust trickling down soapy water will fix that.

    Anywhere skin-on-skin contact occurs (butt, balls, armpits), I use a small amount of benzoyl peroxide facewash. It kills the bacteria responsible for BO and for 24-48 hours body odor is impossible.

    You apply it, wait 5 minutes and rinse well. If you don’t rinse well you can bleach your towel or clothes.

    As far as body soap goes, I use a a fragrance free body wash with salicylic acid. Heavy mechanical exfoliation is not necessary when using a chemical exfoliant. Also, loofas are just a bunch of plastic waste.

    After the shower, I use a lightweight gel moisturizer with cerimides. I use a thicker moisturizer on my hands and weenis.

    That’s just the body. I–of course–have a completely seperate routine for my face.

      You can use an actual luffa if you don’t like the plastic. Originally they were just a dried out squash like plant.

        Yeah, but the truth is it’s not great for your skin.

          However, they’re great for scrubbing really dirty hands, feet, etc.

    I shove the bar of soap strait up my ass and just express the foam into my hand from there until I’m done.
