I am catching up with posting online my articles.
So let's continue with the update about my experiment with living without shampoo and soap.
What I presume and understand so far is that our body and skin secrets oils, which lubricate the skin and hair, protects it and prevents from getting dry. So this is natural protection mechanism from our body.
Now... the moment we use shampoos and soaps daily then we constantly wash off these protective and nutritive oils and thus we must somehow substitute them with lotions and other lubricant to keep the skin moist.
And this makes some sense but there few things here which you may not be aware of.
1. Once you continue using the lotions then your body will eventually reduce the amount of oils, which it secretes naturally to protect and nourish skin and hair and then you will be dependent on it and sometimes even addicted to using the lotions daily. And it is obvious that this is good for the economy and thus we should not be surprised that somebody would make a TV commercial about the studies and discoveries like mine. It would be actually the opposite. The corporations would do anything possible to keep this kind of studies and research well hidden or they would even destroy it.
2. Once you use various products to wash away the dirt together with the protective oils on your skin and hair then your body may get into the mode of trying to produce and secrete more oils to protect the skin from getting to dry. This may start to get out of balance and then you may have problems with oily skin. And here we would probably start looking for specific shampoos and soaps, which are specially designed for people with oily skin. So here we are dealing with a chain reaction and with series of consequences where we are trying to fight the symptoms with the products which provoked the problem in the first place.
