Those of you who shower barehanded: Do you lather and then use your hand, or just shove the soap wherever it needs to go?

Anywhere skin-on-skin contact occurs (butt, balls, armpits), I use a small amount of benzoyl peroxide facewash. It kills the bacteria responsible for BO and for 24-48 hours body odor is impossible.
You apply it, wait 5 minutes and rinse well. If you don't rinse well you can bleach your towel or clothes.
As far as body soap goes, I use a a fragrance free body wash with salicylic acid. Heavy mechanical exfoliation is not necessary when using a chemical exfoliant. Also, loofas are just a bunch of plastic waste.
After the shower, I use a lightweight gel moisturizer with cerimides. I use a thicker moisturizer on my hands and weenis.
That's just the body. I--of course--have a completely seperate routine for my face.

You can use an actual luffa if you don't like the plastic. Originally they were just a dried out squash like plant.
Yeah, but the truth is it's not great for your skin.
However, they're great for scrubbing really dirty hands, feet, etc.
___Whatβs your routine for face?
Now tell us about your business card.
How do you learn all this? Could you also explain your face routine? I'm taking down notes here.
Watching skincare youtube channels and going to a dermatologist.
My face care is a lot. I'd encourage you to find your own products and routine, but I'll list mine as an example:
Daily Mornings:
Daily before bedtime:
Everything kinda has a purpose, so if you have questions please ask.
3% peroxide shouldn't be applied directly to the skin and its time to kill is 3 minutes.
benzoyl peroxide isn't hydrogen peroxide the same way ethynol alcohol isn't isopropyl alcohol.
