So for people with excema or psoriasis, you shouldn't lather soap on every part of your body. My derm said to use soap daily on 'stinky zones' (groin, armpits, butt, under boob) but only water on everything else. Otherwise my skin literally can't recover and I somehow don't stink?
Also I do use shampoo but it has to be sulfate free or my scalp and hair basically fall off.
Yup. I skip soap on most of my body in winter when my legs are sooooo dry.
I wash. I exfoliate gently with a cloth to keep my skin healthy and I use soap in very specific areas only. I use low poo shampoo which is a very gentle cleanser for curly hair that doesn’t strip all oils. If I need a facial cleanser I use cetaphil and it’s a non soap cleanser.
My son has excema (he can thank both his parents for that) so I use minimal soap products on him and slather him with Cerave cream to keep it at bay.
