People Have Stopped Washing Themselves Altogether

Apparently stanky is the new sexy . . .

With most store-bought soaps and shampoos are stacked with chemicals that aren’t super great for our skin, more and more people have stopped washing themselves COMPLETELY to let their body’s natural bacteria do it’s self-cleaning thing.

In addition to letting the natural bacteria do it’s thing and making skin glow and flourish in a healthier way, people rocking life sans bath also believe it to help fight skin diseases like acne and eczema.

One woman claims she works out a ton and doesn’t show after, and says, “over time my skin has adjusted. I don’t smell.”

Ummm . . . do you not smell, or do you not smell yourself?!?  (Cough, nose blind, cough cough)

Problem is — there’s not a lot of scientific evidence either which way to back any of it up.

However, it’s 2019 and waiting for scientific evidence isn’t really are thing anymore . . . so people are buying up “pro-biotic skincare” products like deodorants and lotions, and other things you can use that doesn’t mess with skin’s natural bacteria.

A beauty industry analyst even says their market share has increased more than 3000% over the past four years.
