most smelly bacteria is developed from feet sweat that gets into your shoes and creates bacteria in the shoes themselves.. so the smell only barely originates from the feet basically, it just brings sweat into shoes. you might just be used to the smell from your shoes and dont notice it very often. you just need to clean your shoes more often, use isopropyl alcohol, spray bottle throughout the shoe, will kill all that bacteria. if you wear the same shoes everyday this isn’t ideal, so be sure to at least have an additional pair, and don’t reuse socks. that should be all it takes

Your body does clean itself though. Cleaning it manually diminishes your body’s ability to do it. If you smell and you don’t have something nasty on you you’re pretty much definitely not in good health. Often people end up smelling bad after not washing because you don’t have a natural biome on your skin. Often people have fungal and bacterial breakouts if they don’t incessantly clean themselves.

I haven't used soap on my face in a decade, it's how I got rid of my cystic acne. I stopped using deodorant in 2014. I noticed that the only time I have body odor is when I stress about things. If I stop stressing, I stop stinking. I wash my hair once or twice a month and bathe every 3-4 months. I went from super oily flaky skin and hair to clear "normal" skin and hair. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

I have a very keen nose and I can assure you that certain ppl must bathe daily. There’s this smell and I can smell it from across a room. I was once walking outside and a group of men walked past me and I was across the street but I could smell them. It smelled like the scent was coming out the top of their heads. It wasn’t horrible but it was an unfresh stale scent.

[@justmo6208]

That sounds like a you problem. Like a "people shouldnt have to shower more then once a day because your a goddamn basset hound" you problem. If your nose is so sensitive you can determine WHERE they smell, then you're not the one to set a standard for it.

I only shower a couple times a week. I never use lotion (never have). I also never eat fast food so that helps. Im 44 and I'm really so much happier with my hair and skin than when I was younger and showered every day.

[@kayleigh3648]

Twice a week is reasonable. That’s every 3-4 days, so unless u work outside in the heat, u will likely not smell… After reading the comments here, I saw that some ppl are only showering with water and no soap or anything else to get the stink off🤢, so I think we are good lol. It’s funny tho, cuz if u dare admit that u skipped one single day they’ll tell u how gross and disgusting you are; yet they have old dirty couches they lay on every single day that don’t ever get washed, old dirty carpets that have never been shampooed, they never clean/sanitize their phone, door handles, etc. But WERE the gross ones lmao. I just find it funny that they keep washing something that isn’t dirty over and over (ie their body), yet completely ignore things that are ACTUALLY dirty 🙄

[@Sarahopal]

@kayleigh3648 for real! I use natural soaps but I use soap. I had to go to a Dr once for a skin thing and she said "you have the softest skin I've ever seen, you must not use lotions". The beauty industry is not doing us any favors. They give us lotions that dry our skin (if you use it your body stops making its own) lip balm that dries our lips, soaps that kill our good bacteria.... getting customers for life. I had a roommate that said using my towel more than once was disgusting (I just dried my clean body with it and hung it to dry) but he hadn't washed his sheets in weeks (that his dirty body had laid in lol).

[@ADreamingTraveler]

I learned that washing your hair less actually keeps it cleaner and less greasy. Unless you're getting it dirty somehow it's a better idea to shampoo your hair once every few days at least. Do not do it every day. I used to wash mine 1 or 2 days later and it would always get really greasy and bad within 2 days. When I stopped washing it so much it actually stayed healthier and less greasy looking for longer.

[@zorkmid1083]

Also, you might be able to reduce the amount of shampoo you use. Find out how much gets your hair really clean, then use about half or a bit more. By removing the dirt but not all the oil, your glands won't be encouraged to dump a load of oil back into your hair.

I started washing my hair with just water. That was enough for me because I have pretty dry hair. That’s how I found out that the oil and dandruff was an allergic reaction to the artificial things in shampoo and conditioner. Now, if I need it, I can condition with olive or coconut oil.

This video is complete bullshit and if you believe it then you’re an idiot. There’s nothing wrong with skipping a shower for a day, I do it all the time, but don’t not wash yourself.

Baking soda and peroxide are safe. Essential oils combined are added cleaning help. Teeth, hair, and skin can be cleaned with natural, non interruptive things. Baking soda is less abrasive than toothpaste.

I use soap after I use the bathroom, have been working in the yard, working with something oily and when I cook. I only use soap on my hair three or four times a year. In the summer when my body gets very oily I will use the shower and minimal amounts of soap, but it’s rarely more than once every week or two. Otherwise, I wear natural fibers to wick moisture and oils off my skin, dry brush to exfoliate and use a warm wet wash cloth with no soap daily for places that are most known for getting stinky. My hair is very long and I wear it in protective styles and cover it then I’m working outside, cleaning and cooking to keep it clean. I use deodorant every day and I do like to wear perfume when I’m feeling fancy. I’ve never had anyone tell me I smell, laugh at me, avoid coming too close or try to stay very far away. So many people don’t realize that staying clean and odor free and being presentable in the world doesn’t require tons of soap and gobs of products.

They are being polite. Who randomly tells someone that they stink? There’s no way that going an entire year without soap is going to not cause an odor; and for why? Why not use soap once a week or once a month? How is that going to harm you? I’m not trying to be rude I just genuinely don’t understand why someone completely refuses soap, as if using it once a week/month is somehow going to harm you… There’s tons of choices of soap out there that are designed for all different kinds of skin issues, so there’s really no excuse 🤷‍♀️

You don't need to use soap on the majority of your skin on a regular basis. Body odor is only produced in the armpits and pubic area (since they contain special apocrine sweat glands). Wash THOSE areas daily with soap, but the rest of your skin is fine with just water (unless you're particularly dirty for whatever reason)

[@marino5652]

Exactly. I thought this was common knowledge. I dont get the need to wash entire body everyday with soap. Key areas yes, everything else, just water.

[@BradChadley]

Don't forget your feet. Many people do not realize how bad their foot odor is and once they do, they tend to admit they don't wash their feet in the shower. Ass, genitals, pits and feet people. Water will do fine for the rest for an average day.

I used to have dry skin and acne on my face and back and would wash religiously. Now I use soap there like 2-3 times a week defending on how gross I get, and It's all gone away. I just wash with hot water, then rinse with cold. I also ditched fancy body washes years ago. Just a bar of dove works just fine.
