As a person with hereditary skin issues (both my dad and grandad have suffered for years, and now it's setting in for me), I'm definitely going to try it - my father and I already noticed a big shift when changing from scented to unscented shampoos and soaps - I'm willing to give the no-soap a go to calm down the rest of my skin - cheers. I'll comment again if I notice a sudden down-tick in the number of people willing to spend time with me ;)


I have given up soap, shampoo, deodorant...etc...due to serious health issues. For me, it was a gradual progression. I add salt to my bath water. If you have serious skin issues, I would recommend a salt water bath. Kosher or "canning/pickling" salt is better than table salt. A good quality, high brine sea salt is better still.

Good luck with this.


Look forward to hearing about this. I switched away from using shampoo and only washing with soap bars recently and that helped a great deal.

I think I would be better served by getting plainer/more natural soap bars than not using soap at all, but I'm still curious about the results of this.
