I use liquid soap so going via the hand makes the most sense to me.

You amateurs don´t own a body brush? Pathetic!

Isn’t the soap that touches the body ablated by friction with the skin?

Mrs_deWinter,

That’s the idea of soap, yes. It’s how we get lather.

ZIRO,
@ZIRO@lemmy.world avatar

Right. So, I don’t get why it should matter where, exactly, the bar of soap goes.

Washcloths are not a thing in my country. I wouldn’t know where to buy one.

A what?

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.

What’s your routine for face?

Wololo,

How do you learn all this? Could you also explain your face routine? I’m taking down notes here.

@s_s@lemmy.one avatar

Watching skincare youtube channels and going to a dermatologist.

My face care is a lot. I’d encourage you to find your own products and routine, but I’ll list mine as an example:

Daily Mornings:

  • Wash face using a gentle face cleanser (usually in shower, after washing /conditioning hair)
  • Niacinamide ointment to minimize pores
  • face specific moisturizer
  • eye creme around eyes
  • Mineral sunscreen (re-apply again in middle of day)

Daily before bedtime:

  • Wash face with gentle face cleanser
  • Exfoliate face with lactic acid ointment (once per week: sub stronger AHA/BHA peeling solution)
  • Every other day, always skipping peel days: Adapalene (retinol) gel for wrinkle reduction
  • Niacinamide ointment to minimize pores
  • face specific moisturizer

Everything kinda has a purpose, so if you have questions please ask.

darthskull,

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.

Wilshire,

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

Hyperi0n,

3% peroxide shouldn’t be applied directly to the skin and its time to kill is 3 minutes.

@s_s@lemmy.one avatar

benzoyl peroxide isn’t hydrogen peroxide the same way ethynol alcohol isn’t isopropyl alcohol.

scottywh,

Now tell us about your business card.

BetaBlake,

The lack of scrubbing here makes me weep for your girlfriend’s, wives, significant others. Knowing goddamn well y’all got stanky balls and asses and get musty by noon everyday because you haven’t properly scrubbed the hair in your pits. Yuck, your parents failed all of you.

Most of the time I would soap up my hand and use them to rub where needed. Occasionally I would use a soap scrubber too, for better cleaning.

yarr,

Interesting question! In Scientology, there is a specific way to handle hygiene in order to maintain physical and spiritual well-being. When it comes to showering, here’s what I was taught:

  • Begin by taking a warm water rinse to wake up the body and get rid of any dirt or debris.
  • Then, apply a small amount of soap to your hand or face cloth (if using) and start with the armpits, back, and neck areas first. This helps remove any excess energy that may be stuck in those areas.
  • Use circular motions while lathering up, always moving towards the heart.
  • Rinse off the soap thoroughly before applying more if necessary.
  • Finish off by rinsing out any remaining soap and water from the hair and body.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your shower time is not only hygienic but also helpful for keeping negativity and thetans away. In terms of explaining the connection between hygiene and keeping thetans away, it boils down to the principle of “cleanliness=godliness.” By taking care of our physical bodies through good hygiene practices like showering regularly and using good quality products, we are better able to keep negative thoughts and emotions at bay. Just as we would want to avoid touching dirty or stinky things, thetans also prefer a clean and fresh energy field around us. So, essentially, it’s all about maintaining physical and spiritual cleanliness and care.

So, by showering properly and taking care of our personal hygiene, we can help keep ourselves and our surroundings free of negative vibes and energies. Does that answer your question? Let me know if you have any other questions related to Scientology or spiritual wellness!

Lather my hands and hit my crevasses.

Bread,

I had forgotten the context of this post and your comment made me very uncomfortable.

TIEPilot,
Bread,

That isn’t any more reassuring.

Serpardum,

Reminds me of an ancidote I heard from a diver. Whenever they went to the bathroom they would just go underwater, and the fish started to learn this. Especially the angelfish because of their slim design…

TIEPilot,

Diner right from the source! Hope they like corn!

StankFlipper,

That soap does what it’s told or it gets the hose again.

DirigibleProtein,

Yes

Barehanded as opposed to what? I just rub the bar of soap all over and Robert’s your mother’s brother.

“Robert’s your mother’s brother” – I’m stealing this, thank you

I soap up my hands and then wash every part of my body and reapply soap when needed. I have a scrub washcloth with handles that I occasionally use too.

I think that would disqualify you from the barehanded portion.

MrFunnyMoustache,

I use a soap bar, and just scrub my body with it. It does the job.
