How to take a shower without soap
Soap is not necessary to cleanse your body. In fact, most of the products we use today are not soaps at all but detergents, according to the Food and Drug Administration of the United States. Real soap is made of alkali and fat and does not cleanse your body much. If you find out that you are allergic to soap, you are bathing in a nature reserve in a camp or you just run out of soap, you can still be clean and smell fresh with simple bathing techniques.Luxury Vegan All Natural Soap Bar Handmade – Rejuvenate with Lemongrass Essential Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Castor Oil, Avocado Oil & Cocoa Butter -Dry Skin Care Bath Soap by Wild Wash Soap
Instructions
Fill your bathtub or your sink with a little warm water, as you need it. Keep the water level less than 5 inches (12.7 cm) in a bathtub to conserve water, advises the University of Kentucky School of Agriculture.
Use a damp cloth to wash your body in the same way you would if you had soap. In most cases, this is enough to clean the dirt, dirt and bad smell.
Sprinkle some baking soda on your rag to help scrub particularly dirty areas. Add baking soda to your bath before you bathe if you wish as it helps clean and deodorize your skin, according to Mother Earth News. If you're not very dirty keep the baking for your hair.
Add a few heaping tablespoons of baking soda to the water if you need to wash without soap. If you are clean, rinsing your hair is sufficient but if your hair is greasy or loaded with product, the baking soda will neutralize dirt and grease, according to Mother Earth News.
Rinse your hair and your body under a stream of clean water. If you do not have access to a stream of water, rinse your body by squeezing the cloth over the areas that need to be rinsed or scrubbed in the nearby outdoor water source. Bicarbonate is not harmful to the environment, according to Mother Earth News.
