(Part 3) Best body cleansers according to redditors

Acne face wash: sulfur soap!

My dermatologist recommended this when I was struggling with acne, along with a bunch of prescribed gels and pills... I later stopped using all the prescriptions and just used the soap, and it worked!

It seems weird since it's just a bar of soap, but it ends up being SO cheap. One $20 pack lasted me about 3 years! I buy those cheap plastic soap travel cases to keep them in for easy transport.

For bacne:

1. Change to a salicylic body wash. I recommend Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash.
   
   
2. Use a salicylic acid exfoliant on the back, once or twice daily. I recommend Stridex Med Pads.
   
   
3. Finish with a salicylic moisturizer. I recommend CeraVe Renewing SA Lotion.
   
   
   You’ll notice the trend here: salicylic acid.
   
   Salicylic acid penetrates the skin, causes a softening and sloughing of the top layer of skin, and helps unclog pores to resolve and prevent acne. This acid is also lipophillic, which means it can even penetrate oily skin and already clogged pores, resulting in a deep cleaning. Salicylic acid can reduce sebum secretion, which is another way it can help reduce acne. Lastly, it's also an anti-inflammatory, which can help calm inflamed acne and promote healing.
   
   
   As a final note, unrelated to the bacne.. please stop using R+F products. The products are of average quality at best, way over-priced, and even more overrated. Not least of all that MLM schemes should be avoided. If you need help with your skin care, the community info in this subreddit has a really excellent FAQ and wiki, and members are more than happy to answer questions.
   
   
   Best of luck.

Link for the lazy or skeptical or whatever just give me karma

Avid wet shaver here. So if you are considering wet shaving, allow me to indulge you for a second. There's a lot of perks when it comes to wet shaving.

• It's relaxing
  
• It's cheaper/less maintenance
  
• There's lots o' smells and combinations
  
  Sure there's a lot of razors out there, but it's mostly about finding one that you like or find appealing. Does it feel better when the razor is heavy? When it's light? Do you want it to made from plated gold or just chrome? It's about finding one that suits you.
  
  I've been using this bad boy for the last 3 years and it's given me remarkable shaves. Theres a knob on the bottom that allows you to adjust how much of the blade is exposed, so on sensitive areas (like my neck) I can adjust the blade to glide smoothly without worrying about nicks or razor burn.
  
  Now, after you find one of your liking, it's time to look for is a brush.
  
  There's typically 3 types.
  
  
• Badger
  
• Boar
  
• Synthetic
  
  Badger is the most common, as it's softer and holds a generous amount of water. Boar is a harder type hair and requires some getting used to (of which I have little experience with).
  
  Brushes can range from $10-$300. A lot of the price comes down to quality of the hair and material of the handle. Remember, you get what you pay for. One thing to consider is that wet shaving was designed to last forever. Brushes and razors from the 60's, as long as they were well taken care of, can be used today.
  
  Heck if you don't want to get too fancy, don't get a brush. A simple dallop of shaving cream on the hand and massaged on the face would suffice.
  
  Next are razor blades. There's a ton of different manufacturers. Gillete, Astra, Feather; to name a few. Every brand works for different people. I find Astra to be the ideal blade for my face, but Feather blades are too rough on me. When starting out, I'd suggest trying a "Blade Sampler Pack" from some online retailer. And when you find a brand that works, see if you could buy their blades in bulk. I get the 100 pack. So if I use 1 blade for 2 shaves, the cost of blades drop down to mere pennies compared to the cartridge razor blades they sell at the drug store.
  
  SO, now that you have the essentials, keep in mind of the three basic things you use for pre/mid/post shave.
  
  
• Preshave oil (Optional although I highly reccomend it)
  
• Shaving cream
  
• Aftershave (Optional)
  
  Here is where the fun starts. There's just so many choices! You can buy special pre shave oil (preshave oil helps lubricate the blade as it glides over your face. Shaving cream does too) or you can use a glycerine soap bar like this one however, Whole Foods sells a store brand soap bar for $1 that I love.
  
  Try out different shaving soaps or creams until you find one you like. There's so many different online retailers that it aint funny. And they're pretty cheap too. I personally love the Eucalyptus Shave cream from Bath & Body Works and i'm still using the same tube that I've had since last year.
  
  Soak the brush in water, shake excess water out, put a pea size amount of cream on the brush, rub on face, make lather, shave! It feels really good too!
  
  They say to shave for three rounds per shaving session. With the grain, across the grain, and against the grain. So pay attention to which direction the hair grows all over your face and neck.
  
  With your razor, razor blades, pre shave, and shaving cream, you'll have amazing shaves and more money in your pocket.
  
  I haven't used electric shavers, but I can assure you that there's no closer shave you'll get than from a razor.
  
  P.S. Don't buy anything from The Art of Shaving. They are way overpriced for not that great of quality.

It's hard not to be a slob. Trust me, if I didn't have things in my life that required me to get up and get going, I would be exactly like you.

I keep a pretty simple routine that works for me, so here's a rundown of a few of my habits on cleanliness.

Some people shower in the mornings, others at night. I on the other hand shower any time I feel grimy. This means I shower any time I feel I need one, even if that means showering two or three times in a day. I put the water on slightly warmer than lukewarm, because hot water dries out your skin. I lather up my anti-dandruff shampoo first and leave it in my hair while I wash my body. I use Clear Men Scalp Therapy, because after using just about every other product on the market I've found it to be the only thing that works for me. Everyone is different, so experiment with different brands to see what suits you. But remember, you have to leave anti-dandruff shampoo in your hair for about five minutes to get any benefit from it.

I then wash my body with a loofa and bar soap. Men + Care is nice and moisturizing. Unscented soap is good if you plan on wearing cologne. I pay special attention to the sweatiest parts of my body (groin, pits, feet, etc). I lather up the soap and let it sit on those spots for a minute or two.

I then wash the shampoo out of my hair and apply conditioner. I don't have a preference on conditioner, I just use whatever my girlfriend has in the shower. It takes a few minutes for conditioner to do its magic, so I leave it in my hair while I wash my face. Here I pay special attention to my ears and nose.

I rinse off, wrap a towel around my waist and drape another over my back and shoulders while I get ready to brush my teeth, shave my face, and do my hair. To learn great techniques for shaving, check out /r/wicked_edge. I keep my hair pretty short, so doing my hair is pretty quick and painless. I get a haircut once every two weeks, and I use American Crew Fiber to style it. That stuff is amazing once you figure out how to use it. It takes a little practice. There are Youtube videos you could look up to find a great technique for your hair. Also, /r/malehairadvice of course.

By this time my body is dry (I don't rub the towels on myself to dry, I just dry off naturally because my skin is sensitive), so I take a little gold bond and spray it on my feet and my inner thighs. Gold Bond No Mess Spray Powder will change your life.

A spray of cologne (I use Abercrombie's Fierce...it's cliche I know, but it turns my girlfriend on) on my wrists and the back of my neck and I'm ready to get dressed.

Visit /r/malefashionadvice if you want to learn more than you ever wanted to know about clothes.

Mysore Sandal Soap 2.65 oz Box, (Pack of 12) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G7PZB0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KQMOybAGF3R1S

Hello, hello. Your friendly doc here.

Butt sweat is real, and wherever there's sweat, there's bound to be pimples, swelling, and other sorts of skin infections -- even in those of us who clean regularly. Here are some tips, starting with the easiest that you can do and working down to the more difficult that will require the help of a doctor.

1. Try over-the-counter (OTC) cleanser products like Neutrogena. Ideally you should get the version for dealing with acne. Something like this. It's fairly cheap and you could expect to see results in 2-4 weeks or less depending on how bad it is. You should apply it in the shower as it can be cumbersome to do it in the bath tub. Make sure you really massage it on your butt cheeks -- don't just put it on and rince it off. Massage it on for a good minute or so. If you have someone to help you in the shower, all the better! ;) Sometimes acne is caused from just poor cleanliness habits, and this could do the trick.
   
2. If this doesn't help, you can try adding on to the shower cleanser I mentioned above with an anti-acne cream. These lotions come in two flavors: benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. I would go with one that has salicylic acid (since you are using benzoyl peroxide with the shower cleanser). Something like this. Important to note that these are lotions so they should be put on after you get out of the shower and dry off, and the cream shouldn't be washed off but left to dry. The only thing you want to wash after putting it on is your hands, since it can be painful or dangerous to get it in your eyes.
   
3. If none of those help, then you should consider seeing your doctor, along with a list of the things you tried (the bottles help too). Your doctor will prescribe you with a more potent gel that is applied to the problem areas (pimples and places that get pimples a lot -- for many people it's the T-zone -- the area between the eyes and between the brows). The one I commonly prescribe is Duac (clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide). You need a prescription for this; you cannot get it over the counter. It is very cheap if you have medical insurance. Skin irritation is a side effect of it, so use it very sparingly. Also, make sure and wear a sunscreen if you're going to spend time outdoors, since benzoyl peroxide raises your risk of burning.
   
4. If all else fails, your doctor will provide you with a once daily dose of doxycycline, which you take orally. Since I work with women in my practice (OB/GYN), I rarely prescribe doxycycline or isotretinoin because of the serious birth defects it can cause; women have to get regular pregnancy tests and it can be a problem. So I try not to get to this point. If you're a dude though, isotretinoin is fine.
   
   Just some other things you might find useful and may help in the long term: Always make sure and shower every day and every night with soap and water. Apply a non-comedogenic (non-acne forming) moisturizer to your face and (in your case) your butt cheeks after every shower (you should moisturize every day regardless of whether you have acne, ideally with a sunscreen in it). Avoid wearing tight briefs and opt for boxers instead. Change into a clean pair of underwear every morning.
   
   Best wishes!

As woo woo as this may sound, Watermelon frost. I live in Southeast Asia and for my money this has been the cheapest, most effective way I've found to relieve mouth ulcers. I'm not sure where you live but check your local Chinese pharmacy or China Town.

Bonjela also seems to work for me.

If it's animal fiber, you can by a no-rinse super gentle detergent like Soak or Euclean

Do not roll with ringworm, ever. Long sleeve rashguard or not. Stay off the mat until it's cleared up. Be considerate of your training partners.

I've had ringworm several times in the past due to training partners with unwashed gis, dirty mats, and long drives home post-training. Haven't gotten it since I began to use defense soap on my entire body (hair and beard as well) after every training session. Whenever it popped up in the past I use Lamisil, which kills it in a few days. You can find Lamisil at pretty much any pharmacy or supermarket. And I always took several days off training. They say once it flakes it's safe to train but I gave it until it was completely cleared up every time just to be safe. I didn't want to be the asshole spreading it all over the gym.

I enjoy doing a quick face wash with unscented glycerine soap and then not fully rinsing it off before lathering up. It helps add a bit of slickness underneath the lather. You should be able to find a bar at your grocery store or corner pharmacy.

this one?

I buy fragrance free products by and large. Here are those I use:

• Soap
  
• Antiperspirant
  
• Shaving Cream
  
• Facewash & Moisturizer
  
• Body Lotion
  
• Face Scrub
  
• Hair Fiber Cream
  
  Outside of cologne, the only scented products I use are Ultra Swim shampoo and conditioner, as I swim laps most mornings to start my day and my hair would get fried by chlorine otherwise.
  
  The trick with wearing cologne every day is to apply just enough that people can only smell it if they are close enough to hug you. It depends on how many layers you are wearing, how and where you apply the cologne and the strength of the scent you're wearing.
  

Others have suggested using Unscented Soak in some of the other discussions I have seen on the topic.

Just called my OB/GYN best friend for an answer to this question- to clean the vulva, an UNSCENTED glycerine or castille soap are going to be your best bets. DON'T use the Summer's Eve stuff- even the "Simply Sensitive" has fragrance listed as an ingredient (it's a masking scent, rather than a perfume, but still), plus unnecessary synthetic dye. u/copshows is on the right path with Dr. Bronner's baby formula being a good idea, or something like this would work as well. According to her, you're looking for the least amount of ingredients possible- simple is better.

I think most of it is bullshit, but some of the stuff does work.

Like Watermelon frost. I have zero idea how it works, but it does work. I've been using it since I was child, and it works for canker sores.

My issue is that most of the homeopathy stuff is not as strictly regulated by the FDA, and the ones that sort of work can cause bad reactions for prescribed medicine you're taking.

Ok, I see. I might actually start keeping some dude shower wipes in my car because I like the idea of jogging on your lunch break. I could just wipe down really quickly before getting back to work.

I actually tried washing my hair with this Castile Soap. It wasn't bad. I wouldn't recommend it for daily use, but every once in awhile, not bad.

Shampoo/Conditioner:

I use a custom designed Shampoo called Function of Beauty. Basically, it allows you to custom design the goals of the hair care (for example, I want length, volume, shine, hydration, etc) and then they custom make it for you. It even has your name printed on the bottle. I just started using it a couple weeks ago, but I am really liking it thus far. Referral link is here if you are interested (It will give you a cheaper price and give me a $5 referral credit)
https://functionofbeauty.com/?ref=598f7ad04e62b

Bodywash:

Fairly basic - Neutrogena Body Wash

Face care:

I picked up this routine from my wife, and have been going with it. I may try to switch to slightly cheaper products, but I do love how well these work/smell:

Suki Daily cleanser

Suki Balancing Day Lotion (I think that is the right link, I will have to double check)

Suki Eye lift renwal cream - Day (Had problems finding an amazon link)

If you like bar soap, I'm personally a fan of the Mysore Sandal soap that you can find in Indian grocery stores and on Amazon. It's dirt cheap (a dollar or two per bar) and smells great.

I've struggled with back/shoulder acne too basically for the past 15 years, and the combination that has worked best for me is the Neutrogena acne body wash with salicylic acid (used every day on problem areas at the very end of a shower), and then applying the glycolic acid toner from the Ordinary with my hands after my skin is dry and letting that dry down fully before getting dressed.

​

The toner was too harsh for my face but worked wonders on my back! I've only been using it for a little over a month but I have pretty much no active acne left and it looks like it is even starting to fade some of the PIH. It is drying, so I do sometimes use just whatever body lotion I have on hand at least half an hour after applying the toner. But I don't even do that every day, just when it feels a little dry. I'm a bit hesitant to recommend a product from TO right now because of whatever is going on with the company, but it has been more effective than anything else I've tried and is very affordable so I think it's worth a try!

I personally use this stuff . It helps dry out the oils on my skin but you do need to use some kind of a moisturizer with it or it will dry out your skin too much.

My skin used to get really dry from soap until I switched to a glycerine-based bar soap. I use this unscented one, but there are a lot of types you can choose from.

Do you use mouthwash? I used to get a lot and someone (my ortho maybe?) told me to stop using mouthwash and it seemed to work. I think it's the Sodium Lauryl Sulfate thing.

My crazy chinese mom would always make us use this awful bitter powder. You put some on the sore and try to keep your tongue away from it (to avoid the bitterness) and it would help the sore heal much faster. My sores could last up to 2 weeks, but with the powder, it would be sealed by the next day and on it's way to healing.

Anyways, I recently went looking for it because I'm out of the stuff and was pleasantly surprised to find that it's a thing:
https://www.amazon.com/SANJIN-Watermelon-Frost-Compound-Solstice/dp/B000VEWVMU
(My sister and I used to think it was all crazy eastern medicine mumbo jumbo, but we totally owe my mom an apology!)

*I've never bought it from Amazon, so I can't vouch for that seller. I was just looking for the name/packaging to try and remember how to ask for it at my local chinese pharmacy.

Good luck!

Like Greggy said. Stirling and MLS are great. My wife hijacked my Drunken Goat soap. Wholly Kaw just sent me a bar of his bath soap that I used this morning and it's just as good. Not sure of he sells them on his site though. I assume if you ask he can hook you up. I have a lot of Indian grocery stores around me and they have an amazing amount of bar soaps. One was supposedly Mysore Sandalwood and it did smell nice. Tallow Soap that has lanolin in it and it's only a couple bucks a bar. This is the stuff (Mysore Sandal Soap 2.65 oz Box, (Pack of 12) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G7PZB0/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_nUpFxbKWKZ5NA)

Plugging TOBS Sandalwood for a recommended cream... If you don't have a soap, it's notoriously easy to lather. I use it when I rush my shaves, or if I don't have time. Very good shaving cream IMHO, and it always gives reliable shaves.

Not better than my Stirling, but we're talking Amazon here, and TOBS Sandalwood Cream would be my recommendation for something to get latherin'.

For a brush, although I have not tried boar knots, the 10048 looks pretty good, and I've seen someone else recommend it already. If I was buying on a budget from Amazon, that would be my first pick.

The TOBS cream and Omega brush will set you back about what you would have paid for the VdH kit, which is rubbish from what I've heard, although I have no experience with it.

Face or palm lather the TOBS and save yourself a bowl. The mug in the VdH kit is only to put soap in anyway, and shouldn't be used to lather - only to load your brush. Even if you did try to lather in it, it's not really the 5-6 inches diameter you're gonna wish you had.

Also, if you have leftover cash, spring for some Witch Hazel. Stuff is frickin magical. Apply right before you apply aftershave balm, and let it sit for a minute or so to really tighten up your face.

If you have even more leftover funds, or opt to get WH at your local drugstore, apparently Clearly Natural Glycerin Soap is a good pre-shave. I use MR GLO, but people have told me that any high-glycerin soap makes a nearly equivalent MR GLO substitute. And, for the price of less than one puck of MR GLO, you get 3 bars of Clearly Natural. Hooray for hydration and slickness!

And if you're in for a splurge, get a fancy stand. Adds counter appeal - totally unnecessary, but cool.

Good buy on the Nivea Sensitive ASB, and sub the EJ for a Parker 24c, per /u/leisureguy's post. He's never steered me wrong. Both purchases I've made based on his recommendations have worked out great, which were my Plisson brush and MR GLO.

As for the sample pack, you're probably better off spending some out-of-pocket dough on tryablade.com, or any of the other sample pack resellers. Get your money's worth.

P.S. - Don't forget to soak your boar brush (should you select it) in hot water for a few minutes before you try lathering with it. Boar brushes also have a break-in period, so be mindful that your first few shaves/lathers may be less than desirable.

It's recommended for the redness. I get it on Amazon. Link below.

http://www.amazon.com/Bar-Soap-African-Blk-Pack/dp/B001E0VBDK/ref=sr_1_2?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1422311946&sr=1-2&keywords=african+black+soap

• [Shower Shock Soap] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YDPZZQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=26SWLD702LW5B&coliid=I35ZI8CP54KMA9) I have a really hard time waking up in the morning and this is supposed to invigorate and wake you up.
  
  
• The best but also lamest one I've done is tape the light shut in the fridge. My dad went nuts trying to figure out why the bulb wouldn't turn on... he even replaced it, moved the fridge, unplugged then replugged. It was great.
  
  
• I once laughed so hard at a party I peed myself (I was 13)
  
  Thanks for the contest!!!

It's great soap, and is actually not particularly expensive. I buy the 75g bars on Amazon for about a buck apiece. Supposedly it's "the the only [soap] in the world to be made out of 100 per cent sandalwood oil."

The king of Mysore set up a soap factory in Bangalore during WWI; it's still owned by the government of the state of Karnatka (so each bar is stamped "Govt. Soap Factory"). The government also owns the sandalwood plantations, so it doesn't have to buy the essential oil at a premium.

Edited: WWI, not WWII.

I can't speak for ALL bar soaps but I have used one kind before.

The one kind that I have used is Kirk's Castile Soap Bars

I usually use Dr. Bronner's Liquid Soap (Diluted)

Hope that helps a little.

get your roommate some Watermelon Frost

it's amazing

Sebamed Face and Body Wash, for Sensitive Skin 33.8-Fluid Ounces Bottle - it's a skin-friendly pH and that big bottle lasts for months http://www.amazon.com/Sebamed-Sensitive-33-8-Fluid-Ounces-Bottle/dp/B00381A7OW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425937442&sr=8-1&keywords=sebamed

I'm so sorry you're struggling with this!!! :C It sounds so anxiety inducting...which of course makes it even worse. I hope it at least begins to lighten up for you soon, even if you know it won't go away, I hope it'll calm down a little!

If you're open to trying something? I've found that this soap helps to keep my eczema in pretty good control. I have dry eczema on my arms and wet and dry on my hands. Using this soap every day has kept most of my eczema under some amount of control...and if I use a different soap, even for just a day or two, I'm almost guaranteed to have a bad flare up. I've had someone overnight ship it to me once when I was traveling and forgot to pack it.

It's amazing as a makeup remover but you will need some baby wipes too. Smear some over your makeup and rub it around. Wipe off with baby wipes. Do it one more time. Then wash your face. Coconut oil and African Black Soap are saving my skin right now.

I LOVE it as lube for my dildo. Makes my pussy buttery soft. Unfortunately I can't use it for sex since I'm still using condoms and oils break down latex.

Just starting shaving my legs with it too and I get a WAY closer shave with coconut oil than I do with shaving cream. Again, buttery soft skin.

Check it out: There is an even better comment there now

This optiMSM powder is almost the same price per gram ($18.8 vs $17.4 per gram MSM).
Actually I just got my first sulphur soap today. It isn't even a soap, but a soapfree pH 6 sulphur bar cleanser. So I suppose that one should be okay, but I will see (it's name is "Schwefel-Seife Waschstück" from "Blücher-Schering", a German brand).
This (also here) sulfur soap seems to be popular too. It claims to have a pH of 6 and has also 3% salicylic acid. A pH of 6 is too high though for the salicylic acid (SA) to work properly as an exfoliant, so I wouldn't rely on the SA in there.

Dude showers. A friend brought some to middlelands a few weeks ago and they were clutch. Basically a wet wipe but it's enormous. I used 2 and was completly clean head to toe. Also purchased and used this solar shower. Was hot enough to not even care if it heated up so we never had it in the sun. Held enough for 4-5 showers if you use it sparingly.

https://www.amazon.com/Purifying-Deodorizing-Persimmon-Associated-Artisanal/dp/B005K8MG9U/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=nonenal+soap&qid=1569497158&s=gateway&sprefix=noneal&sr=8-3

If you've tried using acne fighting products that one would normally use on the face, on your chest, and it didn't really do anything, it maybe fungal.

If that's the case, perhaps giving sulfur soap a try: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00371PJ1E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Or a Zinc soap bar: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EIQK3AY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Make sure you get a decent lather and let it sit on the infected area for a few minuets. =)

I have the Zinc bars atm, but I haven't been using them for long so I can't comment on how effective they are. I also recently ordered those Sulfur bars too and will try them once the Zinc bars are all out.

Also consider using shampoo and conditioner that does not have SLS or SLES, as those are harsh detergents known to cause break outs on the back, chest and shoulders.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001E0VBDK/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1414183237&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

I can relate with the cysts, one thing I have found that has helped me tremendously is Defense bar soap. It’s made of all natural ingredients and it’s to help with antifungal. It keeps all cysts or boils at bay, and if you feel one coming on, wash the infected area and I swear it works wonders.


Another thing too, the same happened under my breasts, and as uncomfortable as this may make you feel, I have just rid of all my bras. I know it’s the societal norm to wear them but the discomfort is unreal, and the pain it causes is too much. I have not had any sores, cysts, nothing under my breasts since.

PCOS is a bitch.

I use this for body wash, er... soap. The smell is insanely strong from the bar, so my bathroom kinda smells like it now. Still deciding which shampoo I'm going to use, though.

I have tried the following products that have started working for me:

Grisi Sulfur soap. (Read the reviews)

and

Pantothenic Acid 1000mg

Together they work really well!

This because, well, it's weird, or this because I would use it all year round!

you can buy it on amazon and have it shipped directly to your new place.

My mom had it. Itching went away right after delivering henry. She drank v8 juice every day and used grandpas pine tar soap. http://www.amazon.com/Grandpas-Soap-Pine-4-25-Pack/dp/B001E0ZIWU/ref=pd_sbs_bt_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1DG8DPR3QEECW4D4XJVY

The soap isnt the best smelling but she said it helped. People on google seacrh seem to agree. She thinks the v8 was most important. V8 didnt clear up rash but made it less itchy.

This always makes me giggle.

I was just saying last night that I need a set of ear buds.

This is really so cool that you found a way to do a gift thing like this... And plus, it came from giving life to others. You are freaking awesome.

Ow, my arm is bruised now!

As someone who has had an aging parent who doesn't like to shower, this smell can be a huge issue. I've only found Japanese products like this to be made specifically for the smell and they're ridiculously expensive.

Go vote, kid.

Tar soap. Politicians try so hard to scrub themselves clean, but sometimes the coverup stinks worse than the dirt... and voters don't vote for someone who stinks.

Got some results with Sulfur SAL3 soap.

There's a whole micro-world of bacteria, yeast and parasites living on us all, and sometimes changes in diet and certainly sweating can increase the population of those creatures.

Also, it helps to get REALLY dry, like use the blow dryer on all your creases before you get dressed. Even "towel-dry" is not enough.

I've been thinking of giving Defense Soap a shot. It has tea tree oil which I've read is anti-fungal. I'm sure it wouldn't be as strong as an Rx cream, though.

Have you found a source for larger amounts of anti-fungals? The tiny tubes I find don't last if you're trying to cover a larger area (like everywhere!)

I would try this^ 10% sulfur soap bars. It will dry your skin out a bit so moisturize well after. But I think it should help you alot

Also search de la cruz sulfur treatment on amazon ! :)

I used to buy them on Amazon.co.uk but now I found some in Denmark.

This is what I've bought before

I use it to wash my har as well since shampoo seems to contain basically the same ingredients as liquid soap. Makes it a bit tangled till it dries.

Thank you for your nice and motivating comment. But my skin seems really unhealty and old. I am using Sebamed body wash liquid.
I am so sensitive for dairy foods. And sugar. I am not using sugar and dairy now. Maybe you want to consider it.
Why im tired because sometimes it seems healing but the other day i see new acnes, cysts. it is really hard to struggle it.

I buyed cerave skin renewing serum including retinol. I will try it now. i will go to doctor again.

Today i couldnt add the my new cheek photos but tomorrow i will add for the fair comparing.

Edit: my new face images http://imgur.com/a/lFHdg

My routine is just brush my teeth, wash my face, take my meds, and plan my day. Which is super simple, but was really hard for me to do for a long time. And then I started making each step easier. I had to figure out how to set myself up for success. Which meant shaping things in my life to work for who I actually am, rather than some "perfect ideal" that I had in my head.

Brushing my teeth:

• got a new plate to put my toothbrush, etc, on so everything is nice, neat, in reach, and not in dangers of falling in my sink
  
• switched my tooth paste to something that didn't have SLS/SLE so it wouldn't make food taste weird afterwards
  
• Started using thinner teflon/nylon floss because my teeth are super tight, and started sliding the floss through the sides of my teeth rather than back out through the top, because my teeth are so tight floss gets caught on the way back up
  
  When I made those changes, brushing my teeth got a lot easier. I also keep my bathroom door open and walk around my room when I'm brushing my teeth and flossing so I don't feel trapped by my bathroom. I know some people like using a chair in their bathroom so they can sit down and brush their teeth.
  
  My back hurts if I try to rinse my face in the sink, so all of my face washing can be done standing up: (face mist, leave on cleanser, moisturizer. This is just what works for me.
  
  Also, shower wipes are super awesome for those days when I know I need to take a shower, but also that I can't take a shower.
  
  I really tried to identify what was keeping me from brushing my teeth and stuff, and then tried to change it so that it worked for me. The stuff I linked is just what I personally use and what currently works for me. Being honest with myself about what I needed, what my obstacles are, and what I thought would help me, is what really helped me.

Papoutsanis Pure Greek Olive Oil Soap Of Bars, 8.8 oz, Pack Of 4 (250g) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W3VABS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ohVBCbWHKNT2H

One bar will last me 6 months, you can use it for shampoo and soap and anything.

These things last foreverrrrr and are super good for you. My family in Greece makes products similar in their village.

A bit pricey, but a little goes a long way and it actually works very well. Plus, your clothes last way longer if you use this stuff instead of a washing machine. It usually takes me less time to wash something with this stuff than it does to walk the one block to the cleaners.

Usually in the morning before work. If I'm up late, the night before, I'll get in a shower before I go to bed, in anticipation of waking up late and having to rush out the door. On the occasion I end up going through the day without a shower, I hate it. I feel clammy and I can smell myself.

For you, though, I don't think the problem isn't the frequency, it's the technique.

For one: try showering with cooler to cold water. The latter might seem particularly off-putting, but there are alleged health benefits to it, though I'd take most of them with a grain of salt. (Such examples include increased immunity, increased libido, higher testosterone levels, increased sperm-count) This study sought to find health benefits of cold showering, I recommend you check it out.

Secondly: in addition to hot water, average soaps and shampoos tend to strip your skin and hair of natural oils and dry them out. A solution would be to moisturise regularly. Body lotion, face lotion, leave in conditioners, beard oil (If you're blessed with facial hair). In the shower, you can also use a wash-out conditioner whenever you shampoo. You could also swap out your Irish Spring and Head & Shoulders for more natural alternatives. I hear Dr. Bronners is good and you can pick up natural glycerine soap from Amazon or a Publix.

Hope this helped. Ultimately, I recommend you do whatever works for you.

That seems like a pretty poor trade off. I've found that "black soap" makes for a great shave and facial cleanser and lasts a very long time https://www.amazon.com/Black-Soap-Dudu-Osun-Ingredients/dp/B00R1RPCXK
