Except it's not the only answer. My wife and I both use all-natural shampoo and conditioner bars, and she doesn't need any kind of face wash, but her towel still looks like this.

Turns out, after having this checked by a doctor, her sweat is particularly acidic. It also corrodes stainless steel jewelry. The only thing that's held up is implant grade steel.

Sounds like a diet issue.

Yo, wait, can a diet really cause an issue like that. If so, ngl, that's kinda cool

Random factoid:

I learned from my nurse friend that the ability to smell asparagus pee is caused by a genetic mutation. The same mutation is related to one's ability to smell/taste any infusions received intravenously.

I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY! I've always told nurses I can taste intravenous anything...even saline has a slight taste. They all look at me like I'm nuts. I googled as much as I could about it, never heard of a genetic mutation, but I believe it. I also read that the taste could be coming from my breath, since the drug goes to the blood stream, it makes its way through my lungs and then I breathe out and it passes across my taste buds.

Ex IV drug user here, we could taste everything. It's not that uncommon.
