Well, I used to have a friend who swore by the purity of showering with water ALONE. He stunk a bit, I must confess - and when he scratched his skin his fingernails left marks of a light shade of gray. But he is still alive. Maybe he will outlive us. ISOKE Sisemi kitu.

seppuku wrote:Money Whisperer wrote:load of bullcrap! sabuni ya kipande is sufficient for all your washing needs. Hizo antiseptics wameongeza then the colour and fragrance (soory to burst the bubble it is not antiseptic that you smell but fragrance) only increase chances of allergic reactions and skin inflammations and infections the latter especially by eliminating good symbiotic bacteria that survive on the skin. they leave the skin vulnerable. In fact most dermatologists recommend sabuni ya miti/kipande for those with allergic reactions. lotions ndio zingine. NKT! Sabuni ya kifande na Arimi's for life Hapo kwa Arimi's I will disagree. The thing doesn't quite "enter" into the skin. Leaves you feeling as if you are preparing to be shallow fried. The other day I also read that anti-bacterial mouthwash causes mouth cancer. Hygiene can be complicated! But then again, maybe WE complicate it ourselves. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Haiya!so some fellows scrub place with soap the same way they wash baby bottle? If one intends to cover then I would recommend a masking tape. What about about washing in a bathtub? I don't consider myself having taken a bath without soap filled with lather from head to toe.

@ guru,you and I know that the 'thing' naturally cleanses itself.
I don't think bathing soup should be harsh for sensitive skin, so why cover unless you are using HCL to bathe.
