I began to read the ingredients lists on the products I buy. After reading the ingredients in my shampoo, I'm using it now only to wash my car with. Works great for that purpose.
I have not used any soap or shampoo since I watched your last shampoo video and I now know there is absolutely no need to use them. I also started a low carb high fat diet about 2 months ago and started buying organic where ever possible. Prior to this I have had 12 years of depression and poor mental health and within days of starting this diet my mental health improved significantly. Now 2 months on I have lost 2 stone and quite honestly I have never felt so good since I was a kid and I am now 51. I absolutely truly believe that's sugar and processed foods are a deliberate attempt to make people unwell and cause all manner of sickness. I am now fully off antidepressants for one month and have absolutely no anxiety whatsoever. I tried coming off these meds 4 times before and it was always the anxiety that forced me to resume taking them. My joint pain has gone, nose bleeds after 25 years has healed and no longer feel 70 although I'm only 51. I feel incredible mentally and physically, that's all I can say. Why am I writing this? Well you seem to be a purist who wants to live a very healthy life and beat the deceivers who want to poison us and see us in an early grave. If you just look at the Dr's and proponents of the Keto diet, they all look like a picture of pure health and that is because from the inside they are and it is reflected on the outside by their amazing skin and appearance. The sharpness and clarity of mind this diet gives you is absolutely wonderful and even when I wake up in the morning I never feel that heavy depressed way, I want to get up and enjoy another wonderful day that God has made. This is obviously how being healthy feels and for decades I didn't know it and ruined so much of my life by consuming poisonous inflammatory processed foods and refined sugars. I now know these are total poison and cause mental illness and ll manner of disease. To some this might sound far fetched but it's a slow process that takes time to do it's real damage. Thanks for your video and for exposing the corruption of the cosmetic and perfume industry. The larger part of the corporate world is utterly corrupt but thankfully if we are armed with a little bit of knowledge we can navigate the poisons and consume the right and healthy options and in doing so support the good companies to continue in their good. Take care. 🙂
Great comment. I stopped sugar, seed oils, gluten and all pharmaceuticals, (I was taking a lot of nurofen for joint soreness) and haven’t had sore joints or depression since, and have great mental clarity. I believe all the poison we consume keeps our mental state and conscience suppressed.
The keto diet is unhealthy compared to our natural diet of only raw sweet tropical fruits. Look into raw vegan, fruitarian. Don Bennett. health101. orrgg. Anne Osborne. Mike Arnstein. Etc.
The Bacon & Butter Diet This diet is great! It's great for the bacon industry, it's great for the dairy industry, and it's great for the medical and pharma industries. And it's great for those who choose to believe it's great, but it is not great for people's bodies. And it doesn't matter your blood type, hair color, or Zodiac sign, it is horrible for your body. The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate protein, low-carb diet that forces the body to burn fat for fuel. But since the body's primary fuel source is carbs (the good kind), forcing it to use a "survival" fuel source like fat will help you lose fat weight, but will tax the body in the process. We are meant to use fat for fuel when fasting or when food is scarce - body fat, not dietary fat - and as a temporary measure. If done long term, you will lose health along with the weight, but this fact is conveniently missing from books such as the book above. So you can lose weight with this diet? Sure! But you can lose weight by getting cancer or doing liposuction. There are unhealthy ways to lose weight - many of them - and there is a healthy way to lose weight. Which sounds better for your health? Is this diet unhealthy because I say it is? No. It is unhealthy because reality says it is. And you can argue with reality, and you will lose, but only 100% of the time. Seriously, if you're considering this diet and you care about your health, you'll do your due diligence and research it, and not just the literature that supports this diet (there are of course some loaded studies that will support it), and not the sellout MDs who tout the diet on TV, but also consider the "anti" literature... the info that makes sense even though you don't want to hear it because you hear bacon and butter calling you. [BTW, I saw this book recommended on a webpage that was talking about the unhealthy effects from wearing nail polish. An example of a webpage that has both great info and horrible info all under the banner of health improvement.] -Don Bennett.
No deodorant for almost 4 years. Initially it was by accident I forgot deodorant on vacation, noticed I didn’t smell, so never went back. Hubby hasn’t noticed. When I do notice any pit smell, I’ve read it’s because of bad bacteria on the skin, not my inherent smell. A swipe of a lemon slice or some rubbing alcohol takes care of it. I also started my “silver” hair journey at the same time and have beautiful streaks people compliment me on. No more dye!!! Then almost 2years ago I went water only with my hair. I really struggled with it because we had hard water, but we recently got a whole house water softener that was a game changer. Occasionally (every couple weeks) I used an apple cider vinegar rinse. In the last year I reduced my soap usage to pits and groin and changed my soap to all natural product. But I suspect I could do without that too. You have inspired me to add dry brushing! This has been a journey of awaking from the lies companies tell us in order to sell products. They have convinced people that our bodily fluids and oils are gross. Sweat is just water and salt, basically. They have also convinced people to wash off their natural oils and put on their expensive products instead. What a scam!
When I heard that when women take birth control pills it changes their sense of smell. So 1 minute you might like the smell of your man but the next minute when you stop taking your birth controls you don't like his smell no more. And I'm thinking to myself what about deodorant that really changes your body odor completely. So not just the fact that birth controls change your sense of mouth but also body deodorant also changes your body's smell so for me as a man that's not good. Like I'm trying to attract a woman I'm still a virgin man and I'm 34 I still want a woman but I don't want it to be non-organic. Don't wear body yoga I don't wash with soaps okay do you use living clean on my hair because I really don't like the oiliness of my head. But my hair is short really really short and it feels fine I haven't used shampoo whatsoever for like 2 weeks I have a daily cold shower for 6 minutes and that's it. And I believe which stems from male genital mutilation and viagra sayings. It was ramped up during the '60s when the Jewish population came over. But the medical practice of it resulted in tons of money for Viagra signs but you don't see Viagra being sold in countries like Japan China Russia and very very very very very little to non-existent in Germany and no Viagra sales in Ireland or Scotland and very little in the UK. Tons in the US Canada Africa Africa and Korea. Why South Korea let's see America went to the Vietnam America went to Africa America went to Germany and the Jewish came to America and to Canada what else They went to Korea during Vietnam though. So they replaced that the Americans went after world war II resulted in male genital population and Viagra sales. And then we have the current vaccination shot s which are not vaccination shots WEF wants gene editing programs and credentials on everybody digitalized which the Canadian government has been exposed for covid-19 shots and arrive cam. Basically an app for Canadians to have to enter and leave Canada. All WEF stuff And the medical big pharmaceuticals is like all these these genes splicing therapy vaccination shots that we call the 19s and boo ster shot completely safe even though it has resulted in many people getting zerod which then leads me to thinking what about sneaker companies shoe companies they make shoes to deform your feet in order to keep on buying their products they sell you these pads for your souls of your shoes to make you walk a certain way. But I want you to do this to walk on me keep your feet loose and dangly lift your knees up your thigh up to the end drop your leg down don't even use your other half of your head your leg a good practice is drag your toes on the ground as you move forwards with a loose foot. Like a limp foot spat and practice that and you will have a better posture better walking speeds better everything help. Takes time takes practice but it works. That's why I went with the vibram shoes because they were zero and are shaped like your feet there's even toe shoes. And I found my feet and my body to be extremely comfortable I walked 20 mines in them nothing nothing is wrong with me I feel healthier the pain in my pinky foot is gone after wearing those steel shoes steel toe shoes. What else so I've concluded that these shampoo companies and products their deforming your body so that you become dependent upon them so that you have to keep using the product product. That's why I refuse to shampoo conditioner and all sorts of stuff The only time I wear deodorant and perfumes is if I'm going out with people who I know and and stuff and if I meet a woman there and we want to hook up and date I tell her deliberately I'll tell her deliberately don't use birth controls don't wear deodorants. Because you never know you might not like me after you get off the birth controls and then our time with investing completely out of window. Organic is always better
@@savedfaves I'm furthermore a saturated-fatty meats and eggs eater. Having given up all plants, fruits, vegetables, and fibre, it's all gone. I had some 40 health priblems: all of them are gone. I'm amazed myself, en fait. Be well !
@@jasoncdebussy It seems the progression to health begins at Keto through Ketovore (Neisha Salas-Berry) through pure Carnivore. Great on you! Stay strong, which isn't hard on meats and eggs, is it?
Greetings from Oklahoma! So wonderful to hear you discover this! I have been soap-free for 51 years! No shampoo, either. The body is such an amazing machine!! I'll get back to dry brushing post-haste!
I grew up so country, as kids we bathed everyday in our river/awa especially summer, never used soap or shampoo, infact we rubbed our skin with mud clay from the river which after washing off felt amazing afterwards, i think also cool water is better than hot when washing, dunno if it is, just my feeling, also running water
You can use lovely all-natural handmade soap from artisan soap makers, they usually sell at farm markets, ask them what oils they use - go for a lovely gentle bar with shea butter for example. Definitely avoid the nasty chemical shower gels and mass produced soap with chemical additives and artificial fragrances.
It's not just about the chemicals in conventional body washes and soaps. You are disrupting your microbiome with natural soaps too. I still use soap to wash my hands, but I skip it for everything else. The exception is if I have something that I can only remove with soap like oil or feces or when I cook and use the restroom.
Hi @@jesusmywholehaschanged I found your comment interesting. Would you recommend using soap or water doing labor such as mowing the lawn and sweeping up, which attracts a lot of debris and dirt on the body?
@@jesusmywholehaschanged I don't know if this sounds silly, but can't some ingredients in soap still get to the rest of your body through the pores in your hands ?
This was a brilliant video. I think you're spot on. It's funny how *few **_factual_*_ doctors_ there are😂😂😂😅😅, though Drs Samantha and Mark Bailey are certainly 2 of the most reasonable doctors alive ~ assumably by far the best _general-practice_ physicians.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Thanks🧠🤝🤝🤝🙏
About 5 yrs ago I slowly but surely started to reduce usage of soaps and other cosmetics. It felt strange first, but with time it felt more and more natural. So eventually I discontinued soaps and shampoos. I'm so happy to see that's smert people like Dr Sam have come to the same conclusion.
Thank you, Dr. Bailey for all the information about health and how to take care us without using chemicals in our body. I think I have learned my lesson. I have wasted so much money on my face. Since I have brown spots. I have learned that face products, peeling and other doesn't work. Instead, I learned my problems starts in my guts. I really enjoy your videos. I really appreciate it. Again thank you! God bless you.
Eating chicken liver pate daily is gradually erasing my brown spots. Liver is rich in bioavailable vitamin A - a.k.a. retinoids. It's more effective to eat natural vitamins than to apply synthetic vitamins to the skin, I've found.
Yep, my comment on the "no shampoo" release -- not even soap. I love the fact, you and Mark, are confirming my personal decisions a few years ago... with medical knowledge to back yourselves up with!
I reckon the dry-brushing might be just the thing for me. I do find, I am not as mobile as I used to be, so oft find my arse and thighs can get sore patches and swellings. I shall try it (andmore exercise ;)
All makes perfect sense. Pretty much all soaps and shampoos are laden with chemicals. Not only do they leach into our bodies but they also damage the skins and hairs natural oils and microbes that perform highly useful cleansing and restorative functions. Another liberating video, many thanks Sam and Mark. 👍
I quit soap and it is so much better. Gone is the horrible itching. I thought I would smell but I don't smell if I bathe daily. You are on the right track.
@@sharroon7574 i cant stand perfumes or any scents anymore, after you cut them out of your life you become very sensitive to other peoples smells. I do not even like to smell other people dryers running with dryer sheets while i walk down the sidewalk.
Thanks for this video and the one on no shampoo. Have been massively reducing soap and shampoo use over the last few years but have given it up altogether recently. I do use tallow soap from time to time which is just beef fat
I have heard this before. And I do understand the premise. I may try it. But, it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around not using soap. Then today I was reading my Bible and I came across this verse. Exodus 40:30 ESV “He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing…” Soap was not mentioned.
I have sensitive skin and cannot use soap because it triggers an allergic reaction. I used to itch myself so much that I would bleed. I haven't used soap regularly for months now. I use it only for private parts and use baby oil everyday so the soap does not trigger any allergic reaction. This is the first time I have heard about dry brush. I will buy one immediately. I know the feeling of being unable to use soap, but I tried for a few days because of my allergy and the next thing I knew, I got used to it very quickly. Now that I watched this video, I will not be bothered about not using soap ever again.
One of the books removed Bel the dragon Susanna washes with oil. Both olive oil and avocado oil are antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti fungal. It is hydrating, locking in moisture in the skin is healing and body will absorb the vitamins and minerals in it. Also helps Block bad uv rays. Actually reversed beaus lines in My toenails and shrunk them back to normal reversing the zinc deficiency that caused it. All I've used for almost a decade baby soft supple skin.
Haven't used body soap in years, I use a hemp scrubber in the shower, it was very harsh at first and hard to get used to, but after, you look forward to it, and it feels great & stimulating.
Could you please do a video on sunscreens. This is a very confusing area also. There's alot of conflicting information out there. Thanks again for good infor on soaps. 😊
I stopped using SL 30 yrs ago..I’m just carful in the sun , after all ,we weren’t born with SL on our bodies!… the sun isn’t our enemy… chemicals are!.. plus it’s a billion dollar industry!
I don't use much at all... The best way to prevent burns is to be constantly moving outside. Don't let one area of skin be facing the sun for too long. You'll feel it getting hot before it burns. If you are sitting or standing a lot, try to change what direction you face every few minutes. Works wonders! This let's me play in the sun a lot without sunscreen
Personally, after 17 years of working in Africa, I adopted Pure Shea Butter as a sun filter and after sun. Even if I forget to put a good layer on and I end up as red as a tomato, I put it on my redness and the next day they are gone. I now only use pure Shea Butter on my skin, including once a month I apply it to my hair. Tip: Pure Shea butter is easier to apply to damp skin. I apply it when I'm in the shower and then I wipe off the excess with the towel when I get out of the shower so my skin is satiny but not greasy. I wash my face every day with water and a little natural honey, it makes a great scrub but doesn't alter the natural film of my skin and then I apply a little Shea butter. I'm 53 years and to everyone's surprise I have no wrinkles, and my long hair doesn't have damaged ends. Another great advantage of pure Pure Shea Butter is that it has an index 0 on the comedogenicity scale, i.e. it doesn't clog the pores of the skin and allows it to breathe properly.
I don't think it matters, just that you'll have dead skin floating around after. I think the best part of brushing is the mobility you gain, so that's why it's better in the morning. Just loosens everything internally as well
If you have something greasy on your hands...your about to wash them with soil..sand,mud....mud is food for the body inside and out! Check into that Dr. Bailey;)) Thanks for all that both of you do!
Interesting. Yes I heard of people in drought or very dry parts of the world having dust baths to wash themselves. I used to have chickens and they would often flap around in some dust presumably for this same reason.
My skin is very dry and I have not used much soap for years. Just a bit under the arm pits as I live in a very hot and humid climate. I also find Pierre d’ alum rocks from the health shop work perfectly as a natural deodorant. The most beneficial thing for my skin is to take good quality cod liver oil capsules every day. I see a massive difference when I am consistent with this. Trying so hard to get my husband and kids off the shower gel, shampoo, deodorant bus but they refuse to even try. 😢
I suspected no soap was coming after no shampoo. 😆 I'm still fighting dandruff from the no shampoo but otherwise my hair is much better. Now, for the next adjustment!
Thanks Dr Sam I watched your no poo video and I had already stopped using poo in my hair but also I haven't used any soap products on my skin either, its been about 4 or 5 months. I use jojoba oil with rosemary in it on my skin after showering and it's so lovely. I will now go and get myself a body brush and start brushing my skin too. I love your videos, YaHuWaH bless you 🙏❤️🇦🇺
I have recently(within the last year) stopped using traditional soap and started using Castile soap and my hands, face, body and hair look so much better. I had been losing my hair to the point I had just thought it was age. But after quitting commercial soap my hair is better than ever.
@@chooningrid6860 regardless it works for me and my skin is softer than ever and no wrinkles. Maybe my water or something in my environment makes it work for me. So thanks for the input but I will stick with what’s working
I used to have really bad acne. When I was about 22 I realised that if I got drunk at night and didn't bother "getting washed" at bedtime, my acne was loads better in the morning. That's when it dawned on me that my acne might be a reaction to chemicals in soap. I stopped using soap and my acne cleared up. I also discovered that using the wrong shampoo made my scalp peel off. My skin reacts terribly to any kind of fragrance in soap/shampoo. Love your channel!
Started the no poo after your previous video and use the baking soda and ACV rinse. Works well. Do it once a week. Before that had started getting into making my own soap and deodorant. The recipe for deodorant had baking soda in it and worked fine for a few months but then got a rash so had to stop using it. Need to tweak the recipe or find another. Interesting some people given up the deo as well. Will next give the dry brushing and water only a try. Next will be to find a toothpaste recipe.
Dry brushing sounds good but unfortunately doesn't suit everyone. All it did was cause my spider veins to break even more, I wish I never touched the brush, I now have more broken veins from my feet all the way up to my hip/wasteline.. tried different brushes and a softer brush, tried using a softer hand, but for me all it did was aggravate my veins.. I usually use a non toxic liquid body wash for my skin, which seems much better then using soap.
I personally use Coconut oil in small amounts as my "makeup remover" also as my face & body moisturizer, my skin has never been better! Use in small amounts and be cautious around your hairline as the oils can travel. I used to purchase ALL of the products and now am sooo satisfied using Colloidal silver, kawakawa and Coconut oil as my go to's 😊
I love how clear and empty my shower is without all the products. I do have a shampoo bar that I used once a week, maybe more if it’s summertime where it’s very hot and humid. Old shampoo if useful as a toilet soap. Just fill the container with water, whatever shampoo is left can be squirted into the toilet as you scrub it each day. as it empties, you just add more water. This idea comes courtesy of Flylady.
The problem ist the glycerin and also all the chemicals in the products. Glycerin dries out the skin. If you use soap without it, it´s better, but they´re rare to find.
Followed your example after watching both videos .....now no shampoo or shower gel. Always loved dry brushing, even more with my beardy dry skin. Thank you Dr Sam for your example.❤
Just came across your channel from a friend recommandation. It is the first one I wanted to watch. You are truly a gem of a human being. Thank you for sharing your observations on those topics and clearing some stuff on this one. As for me I only use my homemade soap when I have sweated a lot from sports. It is the only time I feel I need to do it. Hands ofc.
Hi Dr, I recently saw your no shampoo video and decided to try it. I started about 6 weeks ago washing my hair once a week and although it's not been long I am quiet pleased with the result. I will persevere with it for the time being. I recently concocted a face moisturiser and as a pre-shave balm and an aftershave. The first time I used it I never had a Nano second of pain/stinging or irritation with it and now use daily as a moisturiser. If interested it is equal parts of 1,Olive oil, 2, Almond Oil, 3, Caster Oil, Grapeseed Oil and a few drops of Tee Tree oil which is optional. As your going oh natural, make your own moisturiser and see how you get on. Could make a video of how you got on. Shall be trying the no body soap next Doc, thanks for all the interesting videos and very useful suggestions, great channel and never dull.
Back in 1993, while having a skin cancer removed, my dermatologist was telling me that he never used soap when shampooing. I thought he was nuts. Yet he had beautiful skin that was soft and smooth. He said he would dry brush before showering. I bought a good body brush, and started dry brushing, but would then get in the shower and still used body washes that smelled good. And lotions, lots of lotions, cause like many women, was addicted to pretty smelling lotions. I stopped using all my body washes, but have still used diluted Dr Bonners. That was better, but after washing this video will stop using that as well. When I stopped my addiction to my lotions, I noticed my skin stopped 'needing' the lotions to moisturize my skin. Thank you for the nudge I needed to go the rest of the way.
Hi Dr Sam. been soapless for almost 10 years. allergic to most soaps . i use body scrub once every 2 weeks. on the daily, i just use cleansing oil with the help of unscented wipes.
Given up soap and shampoo in my cold showers and scrub where I can wit a roofer. Works great and seem to have rubbed off most of the keratosis deposits on my sun damaged skin. Thanks for the prompt on our last video on the Sam. Won't be going back to the old ways. Just have to eliminate the chlorine with a filter now.
Here I've been making my own soap with left over/old rendered fat (and lye, of course) with no scents or additives and thought I was on the right track. Time for the next step, I suppose!
@@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 I was thinking about that. Funny enough natural fragrance free soap doesn't even taste bitter/bad (yes I tried it haha). No chemicals to dry out your skin, just enough to lessen the surface tension of the water.
I stopped using deodorant a while ago, probably a few months now and was surprised at the lack of smell. Just decided that and aftershave were unnecessary chemicals I didn't need. Glad I stopped using them. Will have to try this dry brushing idea though as this will mean even less chemical contact, that said I use plant based products to shower and natural soap.
Physical trainer and health expert Steve Maxwell said that if he could do only one thing every day to improve his health and mobility, it would be dry brushing! I started immediately and completely agree! It feels wonderful, and loosens joints that you would never have realized were even bound up
After reading the article on stuff, I just need to say stay strong! I for one appreciated your clear headedness during C. Still pushing the broken agenda Stuff is showing their bias by not allowing anyone to comment on the article, fearful of just how many people might show up to support you.
Dr. Sam, you are such a gift of God to us. Thank you so much for the effort you put in to bring us common sense yet ground breaking information. When you stop to think about it one has to ask how could it possibly be that for lo these thousands of years we managed without a chemical industry to survive and even thrive, to be clean and attractive to each other using just what God provided in the world around us. Clearly we have lost our way somewhere on the path of history.
Try a loofah, a natural sponge (the sea creature), sand, a pumice stone or pumice grit. If it's an oily mess, a thinner oil is often the best remover. Try coconut oil or tallow. A combination of sand and ashes will take off gunk that nothing else can handle. Caution: don't wash sand, grit, or clay down your drains. The pipes will eventually clog. Use a basin and dump the dirty water on the ground outside.
I use chuckling goats soap it’s made with 100% natural goat milk kefir and tea tree oil Ingredients (English): Water, Olive oil, Goat milk, Kefir, Sustainable palm oil, Coconut oil, Thyme essential oil, Tea tree essential oil, French facial clay
So funny. First you come out with the no shampoo video where I commented that I stopped using about 8 years ago and now this... I haven´t used cleaning products on my skin for 25 years or so. Not even deodorant. As with the shampoo, I DO use a bar of soap when my skin is actually dirty (ie. working on an engine or building something where I can get covered in oil, grease or cement) but usually just a shower is fine. I give myself a good rub down (not with a brush, just my hands) under the shower and that´s it. Never had any skin problems and at 63, I have been told I have a younger man´s skin. I also have very honest friends and a brutally frank girlfriend 🤣🤣so I know I don´t smell. Yes, I excersise every day (3km dog walk) and digging, plot maintenance and so on and I´ve also been a vegetarian for 40 years, so that must help. A couple of tips: NEVER wear synthetic fibers. If I do I start to smell the moment I sweat even the slightest bit. If you´re going out or have a special meeting or date and you´re worried about smelling, dab some aftershave (in my case, perfume for the girls) under you armpits so you smell nice if you do sweat. It´s more for confidence than for anything else.
You guys check out the recipe for Nablusi soap, the all natural ingredients one that is as in modern times there are chemicals added. It's traditional old-school Palestinian soap. Otherwise, I simply have my portable glass dispenser with water, natural salt & baking soda mixture that I use in the house and take it with me outside.
Very interesting. I've not used shampoo or soap for a decade or more. I do use wet brushing in the shower every few days but never considered dry brushing. I'm going to give it a go. Regarding body odour, I think this is more down to the natural bacteria on the body changing, largely from a natural aerobic state to one of a facultative anaerobic state. I've also changed my diet as well. 👍
I stopped using chemical laden perfumes years ago. The made me sneeze and i didn't like the thought of putting all those chemicals on my skin. I now use 100% essential oils, no nasties and an all natural no spray deodorant. Will try the dry brushing over the weekend. Great info Sam. Thank you.
Fantastic video! I grew up not using any deodorants, sprays, perfumes, etc. But i was addicted to organic shampoos and conditioners, i have hair like sams and couldn't see my way without them. I have tried the baking soda and ACV, and it is quite amazing. Only a few days of it but good so far. If anyone listens to Sinclair Kennally she talks a lot about the toxins in products and what we are exposed to regardless how hard we try. I do without plastics, use filters and a water distiller, but there is much I can't afford to do at this time however, every bit helps. In the 70s we determined deodorants might be affecting the lymph system and causing breast issues including cancer, no idea if solid studies were ever done but i do infra red sauna every day and some red light therapy during the week. I've always lived healthy so Sam is right, the body is amazing. A verse in the Bible says we are "fearfully and wonderfully made". Yes, we are
I know that our phones listen to us because recently, I stopped shampooing my hair and then your video popped up tonight. My hair us to the middle of my back and since I stopped shampooing it has been beautiful much to my surprise. I will watch your no shampoo video. I prefer baths - I bath with baking soda and epsom salt but I bet i would do better without those additives. So as I watched this video in the bath tonight, I used my dry brush on my skin. The brushing feels invigorating. Thank you for sharing,
Iv always had dry skin and Eczema for as long as i can remember. I always use cream on my whole body after an undesired chlorinated shower while using the brand echo soap and i seem to get by, however, I'm going give dry brushing a try.
@Dr. Sam Bailey I melt baking soda into a spray bottle and use its water to strip the extra oil buildup from my skin. dilute as needed. ACV to deactivate any leftover soda and to soften skin.
Hahaha not using any shower soap on my body + dry brushing has been my routine for years, which I kept for myself as most ppl would give uneducated comments. Thank you for sharing. Now I know I am in the good company!
How only water remove bacteria dirt etc... I am 💯 agree with avoiding all chemicals from industrial soaps, but I'd like to educate myself about the natural cleaning process of our body. I'm also quite maniac I guessed, and I do "need" to wash my hands very often, especially if I come from outside, or before preparing meal and touching my food, it's a necessity for me, I would not feel clean just rinsing them under water. So do you have any video where you explain this, thank you 🙏
I tried the vinegar on a damp cloth wipe down under my arms when I finshed bathing this morning after watching Dr Sam's video on not using soap, shampoo, nor deoderant last night. I got dressed soon after the axillary vinegar wipe down & when I changed into a sleep shirt, the top I'd worn all day had NO body odor scent & tjere was none in my axillae. My husband double checked & we were amazed.
i started using powdered clay (kaolin and bentonite are most affordable) and mixing it with water to get a runny liquid to use as my hair wash, and for body and teeth i put less water so it's more pasty. Along with cool water (with is naturally astringent) it's been working wonders
I tried no poo for 8 months. I also used the baking soda and Apple Cider vinegar method. My hair was so extremely greasy, I couldn't stand it anymore. I stunk, that disgusting greasy her smell that "certain people" have. I bought a boar bristle brush, but it only went as deep as the outer, top hairs. There was no way it would go through all my hair. Are the bristles to soft!? Are there boar bristle brushes with thicker stiffer bristles? I do want to get off of shampoo. It is said to persist for 2 months . After 8 it was still successful 🥺 I don't know what to do. I also want to get off of soaps. But showering everyday dries out the skin, doesn't it? I have oily hair with dry ends. And dry skin that will can bleed if I don't use a bodylotion. Can you please advise @Dr. Sam Bailey? Thank you in advance ❤
I have been using apple cider vinegar instead of soap in the shower for about 9 months. Works great! I actually healed a few skin conditions within just a couple weeks of doing it. I got rid of warts, other growths that were like moles or warts, and I got rid of a callous on my Achilles tendon! Our skin is supposed to have an acid mantle. Soap os alkaline. So it’s best to use it very sparingly as you are doing. The Apple cider vinegar is acidic, so helps us keep that acid mantle on the skin. Thanks for the reminder about the dry brush. I may get back into doing that.
hi Rebecca. Found your post interesting. How do you use the apple cider vinegar for showering? Do you just pour some into your hands and rub it on skin and then rinse off?
@@kayl2307 I found out about it from the crazy vinegar lady on Facebook. There are a few ways to do it. Some people put acv in a spray bottle and spray a body part and then scrub the body part with a microfiber cloth. I do it like you suggested, where I pour some into my hands, spread it over part of my body, maybe let it sit for a moment, and then scrub with a microfiber cloth. And rinse.
I don't know about this. Hot water can strip oils from skin too. the temperature, duration, and frequency, showering daily or every 3 days. So I am testing using less soap and only for armpits and groin and legs. My brother with bipolar, stopped showering for several weeks, and when he decided to resume, would only wet his body. no soap. so he would still smell like intense but wet b.o. maybe he wasn't rubbing his skin with the water and only used it very briefly.
I agree with your premise, but most people are not in optimal health, like you or your husband. My absolute biggest concern would be (ok, here goes) crotch, butt crack, anus, penis/foreskin. I can’t imagine working out in the heat all day and coming home to a dry brush and a soapless shower. Thanks for the information though. Very interesting and very helpful. I love your videos.
You would still have to scrub with whatever you use like you do with soap. I've done it after being nasty from basketball. Under water I use my nails to see if any dirt still comes up up on my body. Once none does it's fine. You feel clean.
Great . I used to skin brush years ago but was just to remove dead skin from what I remember. I'll pull it out and start using your technique. Appreciated.
After long time, I found somebody who is thinking same way as I am! I left soap since last 4 years. Never used any shampoo since last 15 years. When I left soap, my dry skin started to recover immediately and became moist and soft. I do use natural cleanser. These so called cleaning products are actually the roots of skin problems.
Bath oil and skin brushing. 10 years. Shampoo once or twice a month. I do soap my pits once a week as well and wear deodorant. My gf is on the other extreme - every day
Thank you for your videos! I will definitely give this shower method a try. Side note- I wash my hair with baking soda and vinegar rinse after watching your other video and it’s working out so well. ❤
I inadvertently stopped using body soap years ago, I can’t remember exactly why, but I do remember that my skin would always be very dry and would seem to slough off when I came out of the shower after using body soap. My skin has never been better, I get less acne across my back (although still some but I think it’s the shampoo doing that), it’s never dry, and weirdly my tattoos heal better! Never going back
I began to read the ingredients lists on the products I buy. After reading the ingredients in my shampoo, I'm using it now only to wash my car with. Works great for that purpose.
Don't do that.. bad for car clear coat/paint 🖐😊
@jamescgardner1269 it won't hurt the clear coat, but it can build up if not washed clean. It's not good car wash, but it will do the job.
😂 that cracked me up though
I have not used any soap or shampoo since I watched your last shampoo video and I now know there is absolutely no need to use them. I also started a low carb high fat diet about 2 months ago and started buying organic where ever possible. Prior to this I have had 12 years of depression and poor mental health and within days of starting this diet my mental health improved significantly. Now 2 months on I have lost 2 stone and quite honestly I have never felt so good since I was a kid and I am now 51. I absolutely truly believe that's sugar and processed foods are a deliberate attempt to make people unwell and cause all manner of sickness. I am now fully off antidepressants for one month and have absolutely no anxiety whatsoever. I tried coming off these meds 4 times before and it was always the anxiety that forced me to resume taking them. My joint pain has gone, nose bleeds after 25 years has healed and no longer feel 70 although I'm only 51. I feel incredible mentally and physically, that's all I can say. Why am I writing this? Well you seem to be a purist who wants to live a very healthy life and beat the deceivers who want to poison us and see us in an early grave. If you just look at the Dr's and proponents of the Keto diet, they all look like a picture of pure health and that is because from the inside they are and it is reflected on the outside by their amazing skin and appearance. The sharpness and clarity of mind this diet gives you is absolutely wonderful and even when I wake up in the morning I never feel that heavy depressed way, I want to get up and enjoy another wonderful day that God has made. This is obviously how being healthy feels and for decades I didn't know it and ruined so much of my life by consuming poisonous inflammatory processed foods and refined sugars. I now know these are total poison and cause mental illness and ll manner of disease. To some this might sound far fetched but it's a slow process that takes time to do it's real damage.
Thanks for your video and for exposing the corruption of the cosmetic and perfume industry. The larger part of the corporate world is utterly corrupt but thankfully if we are armed with a little bit of knowledge we can navigate the poisons and consume the right and healthy options and in doing so support the good companies to continue in their good. Take care. 🙂
Thanks for your comment, I fully agree 👍
HalleluYah, good on you ❣️
Great comment.
I stopped sugar, seed oils, gluten and all pharmaceuticals, (I was taking a lot of nurofen for joint soreness) and haven’t had sore joints or depression since, and have great mental clarity. I believe all the poison we consume keeps our mental state and conscience suppressed.
The keto diet is unhealthy compared to our natural diet of only raw sweet tropical fruits.
Look into raw vegan, fruitarian.

The Bacon & Butter Diet
This diet is great!
It's great for the bacon industry, it's great for the dairy industry, and it's great for the medical and pharma industries.
And it's great for those who choose to believe it's great, but it is not great for people's bodies.
And it doesn't matter your blood type, hair color, or Zodiac sign, it is horrible for your body.
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, moderate protein, low-carb diet that forces the body to burn fat for fuel.
But since the body's primary fuel source is carbs (the good kind), forcing it to use a "survival" fuel source like fat will help you lose fat weight, but will tax the body in the process.
We are meant to use fat for fuel when fasting or when food is scarce - body fat, not dietary fat - and as a temporary measure.
If done long term, you will lose health along with the weight, but this fact is conveniently missing from books such as the book above.
So you can lose weight with this diet?
Sure!
But you can lose weight by getting cancer or doing liposuction.
There are unhealthy ways to lose weight - many of them - and there is a healthy way to lose weight.
Which sounds better for your health?
Is this diet unhealthy because I say it is?
No.
It is unhealthy because reality says it is. And you can argue with reality, and you will lose, but only 100% of the time. Seriously, if you're considering this diet and you care about your health, you'll do your due diligence and research it, and not just the literature that supports this diet (there are of course some loaded studies that will support it), and not the sellout MDs who tout the diet on TV, but also consider the "anti" literature... the info that makes sense even though you don't want to hear it because you hear bacon and butter calling you.
[BTW, I saw this book recommended on a webpage that was talking about the unhealthy effects from wearing nail polish. An example of a webpage that has both great info and horrible info all under the banner of health improvement.]
-Don Bennett.
No deodorant for almost 4 years. Initially it was by accident I forgot deodorant on vacation, noticed I didn’t smell, so never went back. Hubby hasn’t noticed. When I do notice any pit smell, I’ve read it’s because of bad bacteria on the skin, not my inherent smell. A swipe of a lemon slice or some rubbing alcohol takes care of it. I also started my “silver” hair journey at the same time and have beautiful streaks people compliment me on. No more dye!!! Then almost 2years ago I went water only with my hair. I really struggled with it because we had hard water, but we recently got a whole house water softener that was a game changer. Occasionally (every couple weeks) I used an apple cider vinegar rinse. In the last year I reduced my soap usage to pits and groin and changed my soap to all natural product. But I suspect I could do without that too. You have inspired me to add dry brushing! This has been a journey of awaking from the lies companies tell us in order to sell products. They have convinced people that our bodily fluids and oils are gross. Sweat is just water and salt, basically. They have also convinced people to wash off their natural oils and put on their expensive products instead. What a scam!
When I heard that when women take birth control pills it changes their sense of smell. So 1 minute you might like the smell of your man but the next minute when you stop taking your birth controls you don't like his smell no more. And I'm thinking to myself what about deodorant that really changes your body odor completely.
So not just the fact that birth controls change your sense of mouth but also body deodorant also changes your body's smell so for me as a man that's not good. Like I'm trying to attract a woman I'm still a virgin man and I'm 34 I still want a woman but I don't want it to be non-organic. Don't wear body yoga I don't wash with soaps okay do you use living clean on my hair because I really don't like the oiliness of my head. But my hair is short really really short and it feels fine I haven't used shampoo whatsoever for like 2 weeks I have a daily cold shower for 6 minutes and that's it. And I believe which stems from male genital mutilation and viagra sayings. It was ramped up during the '60s when the Jewish population came over. But the medical practice of it resulted in tons of money for Viagra signs but you don't see Viagra being sold in countries like Japan China Russia and very very very very very little to non-existent in Germany and no Viagra sales in Ireland or Scotland and very little in the UK. Tons in the US Canada Africa Africa and Korea. Why South Korea let's see America went to the Vietnam America went to Africa America went to Germany and the Jewish came to America and to Canada what else They went to Korea during Vietnam though. So they replaced that the Americans went after world war II resulted in male genital population and Viagra sales. And then we have the current vaccination shot s which are not vaccination shots WEF wants gene editing programs and credentials on everybody digitalized which the Canadian government has been exposed for covid-19 shots and arrive cam. Basically an app for Canadians to have to enter and leave Canada. All WEF stuff
And the medical big pharmaceuticals is like all these these genes splicing therapy vaccination shots that we call the 19s and boo ster shot completely safe even though it has resulted in many people getting zerod which then leads me to thinking what about sneaker companies shoe companies they make shoes to deform your feet in order to keep on buying their products they sell you these pads for your souls of your shoes to make you walk a certain way. But I want you to do this to walk on me keep your feet loose and dangly lift your knees up your thigh up to the end drop your leg down don't even use your other half of your head your leg a good practice is drag your toes on the ground as you move forwards with a loose foot. Like a limp foot spat and practice that and you will have a better posture better walking speeds better everything help. Takes time takes practice but it works. That's why I went with the vibram shoes because they were zero and are shaped like your feet there's even toe shoes. And I found my feet and my body to be extremely comfortable I walked 20 mines in them nothing nothing is wrong with me I feel healthier the pain in my pinky foot is gone after wearing those steel shoes steel toe shoes.
What else so I've concluded that these shampoo companies and products their deforming your body so that you become dependent upon them so that you have to keep using the product product. That's why I refuse to shampoo conditioner and all sorts of stuff The only time I wear deodorant and perfumes is if I'm going out with people who I know and and stuff and if I meet a woman there and we want to hook up and date I tell her deliberately I'll tell her deliberately don't use birth controls don't wear deodorants. Because you never know you might not like me after you get off the birth controls and then our time with investing completely out of window. Organic is always better
It's all scams from top to bottom. Turtles all the way down.
Love you guys Sam! You and Mark continue to educate yourselves and others. Much respect.
I did the no shampoo thing! AMAZING! No dandruff; no itching; no sh*t! PHENOMENAL! Thanks, Dr. Sam!
No dandruff? You’re not me them. Extreme cases can be caused by internal biographical stressors which require more radical in depth work.

Greetings from Oklahoma! So wonderful to hear you discover this! I have been soap-free for 51 years! No shampoo, either. The body is such an amazing machine!! I'll get back to dry brushing post-haste!
I did “no-poo” for a year. My hair was horrible & never adjusted. What did you use or do?
So you don’t wash your hands?!?
Any body/face cream?
So, what do you use instead of soap fir body Nd shampoo for hair? I have oily hair....
I'm really interested...
Fresh squeezed lemon is awesome armpit deodorant. It works so good! No more harmful chemicals
I grew up so country, as kids we bathed everyday in our river/awa especially summer, never used soap or shampoo, infact we rubbed our skin with mud clay from the river which after washing off felt amazing afterwards, i think also cool water is better than hot when washing, dunno if it is, just my feeling, also running water
Did you notice you smelled like smoke after burning wood or garbage? That’s my problem.
@@iHeartAmySue
Isnt that normally what smoke does!? Is most definitely noticeable weather using soap or deodorant
You can use lovely all-natural handmade soap from artisan soap makers, they usually sell at farm markets, ask them what oils they use - go for a lovely gentle bar with shea butter for example. Definitely avoid the nasty chemical shower gels and mass produced soap with chemical additives and artificial fragrances.
It's not just about the chemicals in conventional body washes and soaps. You are disrupting your microbiome with natural soaps too. I still use soap to wash my hands, but I skip it for everything else. The exception is if I have something that I can only remove with soap like oil or feces or when I cook and use the restroom.
Hi @@jesusmywholehaschanged I found your comment interesting. Would you recommend using soap or water doing labor such as mowing the lawn and sweeping up, which attracts a lot of debris and dirt on the body?
@@jesusmywholehaschanged
I don't know if this sounds silly, but can't some ingredients in soap still get to the rest of your body through the pores in your hands ?
Thank you so much to what you do!!!
... much for what ...
This was a brilliant video. I think you're spot on. It's funny how *few **_factual_*_ doctors_ there are😂😂😂😅😅, though Drs Samantha and Mark Bailey are certainly 2 of the most reasonable doctors alive ~ assumably by far the best _general-practice_ physicians.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Thanks🧠🤝🤝🤝🙏
About 5 yrs ago I slowly but surely started to reduce usage of soaps and other cosmetics. It felt strange first, but with time it felt more and more natural. So eventually I discontinued soaps and shampoos. I'm so happy to see that's smert people like Dr Sam have come to the same conclusion.
Thank you, Dr. Bailey for all the information about health and how to take care us without using chemicals in our body. I think I have learned my lesson. I have wasted so much money on my face. Since I have brown spots. I have learned that face products, peeling and other doesn't work. Instead, I learned my problems starts in my guts. I really enjoy your videos. I really appreciate it. Again thank you! God bless you.
Eating chicken liver pate daily is gradually erasing my brown spots. Liver is rich in bioavailable vitamin A - a.k.a. retinoids. It's more effective to eat natural vitamins than to apply synthetic vitamins to the skin, I've found.
How about the makeup? It certainly contains lots of chemicals! Will you do a video on this topic too? That would be amazing. Thanks
Yep, my comment on the "no shampoo" release -- not even soap. I love the fact, you and Mark, are confirming my personal decisions a few years ago... with medical knowledge to back yourselves up with!
I reckon the dry-brushing might be just the thing for me. I do find, I am not as mobile as I used to be, so oft find my arse and thighs can get sore patches and swellings. I shall try it (andmore exercise ;)
All makes perfect sense. Pretty much all soaps and shampoos are laden with chemicals. Not only do they leach into our bodies but they also damage the skins and hairs natural oils and microbes that perform highly useful cleansing and restorative functions. Another liberating video, many thanks Sam and Mark. 👍
I quit soap and it is so much better. Gone is the horrible itching. I thought I would smell but I don't smell if I bathe daily. You are on the right track.
Thank you, Dr. Sam! You are always take us back to the basics! And the truth.
I spray my perfumes on what I’m going to wear to keep chemicals from soaking into my skin.
Perfumes can still be problematic for your sinuses, etc. I stopped using all fragrances, and I'm so happy, I can also smell everything else better.
@@sharroon7574 i cant stand perfumes or any scents anymore, after you cut them out of your life you become very sensitive to other peoples smells. I do not even like to smell other people dryers running with dryer sheets while i walk down the sidewalk.
Thanks for this video and the one on no shampoo. Have been massively reducing soap and shampoo use over the last few years but have given it up altogether recently. I do use tallow soap from time to time which is just beef fat
What's tallow soap like ?
Is it very moisturising?
I have heard this before. And I do understand the premise. I may try it. But, it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around not using soap. Then today I was reading my Bible and I came across this verse. Exodus 40:30 ESV “He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing…” Soap was not mentioned.
Jews like your favorite savior and prophets probably do need soap, since they have a naturally horrible smell.
I have sensitive skin and cannot use soap because it triggers an allergic reaction. I used to itch myself so much that I would bleed. I haven't used soap regularly for months now. I use it only for private parts and use baby oil everyday so the soap does not trigger any allergic reaction. This is the first time I have heard about dry brush. I will buy one immediately. I know the feeling of being unable to use soap, but I tried for a few days because of my allergy and the next thing I knew, I got used to it very quickly. Now that I watched this video, I will not be bothered about not using soap ever again.

Haven't used body soap in years, I use a hemp scrubber in the shower, it was very harsh at first and hard to get used to, but after, you look forward to it, and it feels great & stimulating.
Could you please do a video on sunscreens. This is a very confusing area also. There's alot of conflicting information out there. Thanks again for good infor on soaps. 😊
I stopped using SL 30 yrs ago..I’m just carful in the sun , after all ,we weren’t born with SL on our bodies!… the sun isn’t our enemy… chemicals are!.. plus it’s a billion dollar industry!
I don't use much at all...
The best way to prevent burns is to be constantly moving outside.
Don't let one area of skin be facing the sun for too long. You'll feel it getting hot before it burns.
If you are sitting or standing a lot, try to change what direction you face every few minutes. Works wonders!
This let's me play in the sun a lot without sunscreen
Coconut oil has natural spf
I'm on the fence with sunscreen as well. You can always use clothing and hats as a form of sun protection.
Personally, after 17 years of working in Africa, I adopted Pure Shea Butter as a sun filter and after sun.
Even if I forget to put a good layer on and I end up as red as a tomato, I put it on my redness and the next day they are gone.
I now only use pure Shea Butter on my skin, including once a month I apply it to my hair.
Tip: Pure Shea butter is easier to apply to damp skin.
I apply it when I'm in the shower and then I wipe off the excess with the towel when I get out of the shower so my skin is satiny but not greasy.
I wash my face every day with water and a little natural honey, it makes a great scrub but doesn't alter the natural film of my skin and then I apply a little Shea butter.
I'm 53 years and to everyone's surprise I have no wrinkles, and my long hair doesn't have damaged ends.
Another great advantage of pure Pure Shea Butter is that it has an index 0 on the comedogenicity scale, i.e. it doesn't clog the pores of the skin and allows it to breathe properly.
Please do a video on your cosmetics use.
Thanks Dr. Sam. I didn't know that dry brushing should be done prior to showering.
Well, unless you stay dry in the shower..? ^^
@@Kenzofeis I had been doing it when I saw my skin starting to flake in the evening. I shower in the mornings.
I don't think it matters, just that you'll have dead skin floating around after.
I think the best part of brushing is the mobility you gain, so that's why it's better in the morning.
Just loosens everything internally as well
hello doctor! i love your smile and your enthusiasm on your talk!
If you have something greasy on your hands...your about to wash them with soil..sand,mud....mud is food for the body inside and out! Check into that Dr. Bailey;)) Thanks for all that both of you do!
Interesting. Yes I heard of people in drought or very dry parts of the world having dust baths to wash themselves. I used to have chickens and they would often flap around in some dust presumably for this same reason.
My skin is very dry and I have not used much soap for years. Just a bit under the arm pits as I live in a very hot and humid climate. I also find Pierre d’ alum rocks from the health shop work perfectly as a natural deodorant. The most beneficial thing for my skin is to take good quality cod liver oil capsules every day. I see a massive difference when I am consistent with this. Trying so hard to get my husband and kids off the shower gel, shampoo, deodorant bus but they refuse to even try. 😢
Thanks!
No problem!
I suspected no soap was coming after no shampoo. 😆
I'm still fighting dandruff from the no shampoo but otherwise my hair is much better. Now, for the next adjustment!
Thanks Dr Sam I watched your no poo video and I had already stopped using poo in my hair but also I haven't used any soap products on my skin either, its been about 4 or 5 months. I use jojoba oil with rosemary in it on my skin after showering and it's so lovely. I will now go and get myself a body brush and start brushing my skin too.
I love your videos, YaHuWaH bless you 🙏❤️🇦🇺
I have recently(within the last year) stopped using traditional soap and started using Castile soap and my hands, face, body and hair look so much better. I had been losing my hair to the point I had just thought it was age. But after quitting commercial soap my hair is better than ever.
Castile soap ph is 9-10
@@chooningrid6860 regardless it works for me and my skin is softer than ever and no wrinkles. Maybe my water or something in my environment makes it work for me. So thanks for the input but I will stick with what’s working
I used to have really bad acne. When I was about 22 I realised that if I got drunk at night and didn't bother "getting washed" at bedtime, my acne was loads better in the morning. That's when it dawned on me that my acne might be a reaction to chemicals in soap. I stopped using soap and my acne cleared up. I also discovered that using the wrong shampoo made my scalp peel off.
My skin reacts terribly to any kind of fragrance in soap/shampoo.
Love your channel!
What do you do for your facial skin care? Is it okay to use retinoids? And how do you moisturise your body? Please make the next video on this topic.
Started the no poo after your previous video and use the baking soda and ACV rinse. Works well. Do it once a week. Before that had started getting into making my own soap and deodorant. The recipe for deodorant had baking soda in it and worked fine for a few months but then got a rash so had to stop using it. Need to tweak the recipe or find another. Interesting some people given up the deo as well. Will next give the dry brushing and water only a try. Next will be to find a toothpaste recipe.
Dry brushing sounds good but unfortunately doesn't suit everyone. All it did was cause my spider veins to break even more, I wish I never touched the brush, I now have more broken veins from my feet all the way up to my hip/wasteline.. tried different brushes and a softer brush, tried using a softer hand, but for me all it did was aggravate my veins.. I usually use a non toxic liquid body wash for my skin, which seems much better then using soap.
Question: What do you use on your face? Water is inadequate to take off makeup.
I personally use Coconut oil in small amounts as my "makeup remover" also as my face & body moisturizer, my skin has never been better! Use in small amounts and be cautious around your hairline as the oils can travel. I used to purchase ALL of the products and now am sooo satisfied using Colloidal silver, kawakawa and Coconut oil as my go to's 😊
Melissa, my wife uses Johnson baby shampoo
And what makeup does she use and why wear makeup at all?
Try ponds cold cream
And how about daily cream? Nothing ?@@Amberleigh.c
I love how clear and empty my shower is without all the products. I do have a shampoo bar that I used once a week, maybe more if it’s summertime where it’s very hot and humid. Old shampoo if useful as a toilet soap. Just fill the container with water, whatever shampoo is left can be squirted into the toilet as you scrub it each day. as it empties, you just add more water. This idea comes courtesy of Flylady.
Thank you Sam ❤
The problem ist the glycerin and also all the chemicals in the products. Glycerin dries out the skin. If you use soap without it, it´s better, but they´re rare to find.
This is great. Glad you shared these facts. Thank you Doc. Lovya.
Followed your example after watching both videos .....now no shampoo or shower gel.
Always loved dry brushing, even more with my beardy dry skin.
Thank you Dr Sam for your example.❤
Just came across your channel from a friend recommandation. It is the first one I wanted to watch.
You are truly a gem of a human being.
Thank you for sharing your observations on those topics and clearing some stuff on this one.
As for me I only use my homemade soap when I have sweated a lot from sports. It is the only time I feel I need to do it. Hands ofc.
Hi Dr, I recently saw your no shampoo video and decided to try it. I started about 6 weeks ago washing my hair once a week and although it's not been long I am quiet pleased with the result. I will persevere with it for the time being. I recently concocted a face moisturiser and as a pre-shave balm and an aftershave. The first time I used it I never had a Nano second of pain/stinging or irritation with it and now use daily as a moisturiser. If interested it is equal parts of 1,Olive oil, 2, Almond Oil, 3, Caster Oil, Grapeseed Oil and a few drops of Tee Tree oil which is optional.
As your going oh natural, make your own moisturiser and see how you get on. Could make a video of how you got on.
Shall be trying the no body soap next Doc, thanks for all the interesting videos and very useful suggestions, great channel and never dull.
You could start off doing it twice per week and work up to once a week and beyond.
Doc, I did also add some honey to my moisturiser.
Back in 1993, while having a skin cancer removed, my dermatologist was telling me that he never used soap when shampooing. I thought he was nuts. Yet he had beautiful skin that was soft and smooth. He said he would dry brush before showering. I bought a good body brush, and started dry brushing, but would then get in the shower and still used body washes that smelled good. And lotions, lots of lotions, cause like many women, was addicted to pretty smelling lotions. I stopped using all my body washes, but have still used diluted Dr Bonners. That was better, but after washing this video will stop using that as well. When I stopped my addiction to my lotions, I noticed my skin stopped 'needing' the lotions to moisturize my skin. Thank you for the nudge I needed to go the rest of the way.
Welcome back to TH-cam dr. Bailey!
How do get sweat and or makeup off you face with only water? Just curious and would love to learn more!! 😊
My hair seems more greasy when I only shower with water.

Hi Dr Sam. been soapless for almost 10 years. allergic to most soaps . i use body scrub once every 2 weeks. on the daily, i just use cleansing oil with the help of unscented wipes.
I’m not in jr high. I’m not in jr high. But “shedding” sounds a little different with her accent. 😂
I thought the same thing lol
Guilty. 😂🤣
Given up soap and shampoo in my cold showers and scrub where I can wit a roofer. Works great and seem to have rubbed off most of the keratosis deposits on my sun damaged skin. Thanks for the prompt on our last video on the Sam. Won't be going back to the old ways. Just have to eliminate the chlorine with a filter now.
Here I've been making my own soap with left over/old rendered fat (and lye, of course) with no scents or additives and thought I was on the right track. Time for the next step, I suppose!
I'd imagine such soap is harmless and moisturising . Maybe just add in the brushing.
@@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 I was thinking about that. Funny enough natural fragrance free soap doesn't even taste bitter/bad (yes I tried it haha). No chemicals to dry out your skin, just enough to lessen the surface tension of the water.
I do agree with various aspects, and this presentation would be even better without make-up and gloss lipstick, so there's no contradiction.
I stopped using deodorant a while ago, probably a few months now and was surprised at the lack of smell. Just decided that and aftershave were unnecessary chemicals I didn't need. Glad I stopped using them. Will have to try this dry brushing idea though as this will mean even less chemical contact, that said I use plant based products to shower and natural soap.
Dry brushing is amazing. Helps with mobility too
Started three days ago, and I love it. My skin loves it . Thanks for sharing!
Physical trainer and health expert Steve Maxwell said that if he could do only one thing every day to improve his health and mobility, it would be dry brushing!
I started immediately and completely agree!
It feels wonderful, and loosens joints that you would never have realized were even bound up
Can you make a video on organic ideas for makeup?
I make essential oil mixes diluted in almond oil in a roller bottle for perfume and health. They smell wonderful and heal the body.
After reading the article on stuff, I just need to say stay strong! I for one appreciated your clear headedness during C. Still pushing the broken agenda Stuff is showing their bias by not allowing anyone to comment on the article, fearful of just how many people might show up to support you.
Thank you for the information💚
Dr. Sam, you are such a gift of God to us. Thank you so much for the effort you put in to bring us common sense yet ground breaking information.
When you stop to think about it one has to ask how could it possibly be that for lo these thousands of years we managed without a chemical industry to survive and even thrive, to be clean and attractive to each other using just what God provided in the world around us. Clearly we have lost our way somewhere on the path of history.
I'm a tradesman and can get filthy dirty, I'm not relying on just water to remove dirt etc from hair and skin.
Try a loofah, a natural sponge (the sea creature), sand, a pumice stone or pumice grit. If it's an oily mess, a thinner oil is often the best remover. Try coconut oil or tallow. A combination of sand and ashes will take off gunk that nothing else can handle.
Caution: don't wash sand, grit, or clay down your drains. The pipes will eventually clog. Use a basin and dump the dirty water on the ground outside.
I use chuckling goats soap it’s made with 100% natural goat milk kefir and tea tree oil
Ingredients (English): Water, Olive oil, Goat milk, Kefir, Sustainable palm oil, Coconut oil, Thyme essential oil, Tea tree essential oil, French facial clay
So funny. First you come out with the no shampoo video where I commented that I stopped using about 8 years ago and now this... I haven´t used cleaning products on my skin for 25 years or so. Not even deodorant. As with the shampoo, I DO use a bar of soap when my skin is actually dirty (ie. working on an engine or building something where I can get covered in oil, grease or cement) but usually just a shower is fine. I give myself a good rub down (not with a brush, just my hands) under the shower and that´s it. Never had any skin problems and at 63, I have been told I have a younger man´s skin. I also have very honest friends and a brutally frank girlfriend 🤣🤣so I know I don´t smell. Yes, I excersise every day (3km dog walk) and digging, plot maintenance and so on and I´ve also been a vegetarian for 40 years, so that must help. A couple of tips: NEVER wear synthetic fibers. If I do I start to smell the moment I sweat even the slightest bit. If you´re going out or have a special meeting or date and you´re worried about smelling, dab some aftershave (in my case, perfume for the girls) under you armpits so you smell nice if you do sweat. It´s more for confidence than for anything else.
You guys check out the recipe for Nablusi soap, the all natural ingredients one that is as in modern times there are chemicals added. It's traditional old-school Palestinian soap.
Otherwise, I simply have my portable glass dispenser with water, natural salt & baking soda mixture that I use in the house and take it with me outside.
Very interesting. I've not used shampoo or soap for a decade or more. I do use wet brushing in the shower every few days but never considered dry brushing. I'm going to give it a go.
Regarding body odour, I think this is more down to the natural bacteria on the body changing, largely from a natural aerobic state to one of a facultative anaerobic state.
I've also changed my diet as well. 👍
Also, what do you use to keep your facial skin looking so good? Oil? Natural creams? Nothing? We'd love to know.
Sam you look amazing. I have not used soap or shampoo for 2 months now. My wife has given her full approval too 🙂
I stopped using chemical laden perfumes years ago. The made me sneeze and i didn't like the thought of putting all those chemicals on my skin. I now use 100% essential oils, no nasties and an all natural no spray deodorant. Will try the dry brushing over the weekend. Great info Sam. Thank you.
Fantastic video! I grew up not using any deodorants, sprays, perfumes, etc. But i was addicted to organic shampoos and conditioners, i have hair like sams and couldn't see my way without them.
I have tried the baking soda and ACV, and it is quite amazing. Only a few days of it but good so far.
If anyone listens to Sinclair Kennally she talks a lot about the toxins in products and what we are exposed to
regardless how hard we try. I do without plastics, use filters and a water distiller, but there is much I can't afford to do
at this time however, every bit helps. In the 70s we determined deodorants might be affecting the lymph system and causing breast issues including cancer, no idea if solid studies were ever done but i do infra red sauna every day and some red light therapy during the week. I've always lived healthy so Sam is right, the body is amazing. A verse in the Bible says we are "fearfully and wonderfully made". Yes, we are
What about washing your hands with soap after a poo??
I know that our phones listen to us because recently, I stopped shampooing my hair and then your video popped up tonight. My hair us to the middle of my back and since I stopped shampooing it has been beautiful much to my surprise. I will watch your no shampoo video. I prefer baths - I bath with baking soda and epsom salt but I bet i would do better without those additives. So as I watched this video in the bath tonight, I used my dry brush on my skin. The brushing feels invigorating. Thank you for sharing,
Iv always had dry skin and Eczema for as long as i can remember. I always use cream on my whole body after an undesired chlorinated shower while using the brand echo soap and i seem to get by, however, I'm going give dry brushing a try.
This makes so much sense as I have stopped bathing my dogs when I started to question all this bathing.
Try Black soap. Totally natural although extremely harsh in terms of cleaning.
Soaps were not there for thousands of years in many societies
6 months free of soap now
@Dr. Sam Bailey I melt baking soda into a spray bottle and use its water to strip the extra oil buildup from my skin. dilute as needed. ACV to deactivate any leftover soda and to soften skin.
Hahaha not using any shower soap on my body + dry brushing has been my routine for years, which I kept for myself as most ppl would give uneducated comments. Thank you for sharing. Now I know I am in the good company!
Great, I'm gonna try that. Thank you
I was stunned to see you have the Robert Doisneau bnw Kiss print on your wall, I’ve had it on for years and feel a very strong to it connection to it
I use a mixture of coconut oil, olive oil and castor oil, baking soda, honey, and acv
How only water remove bacteria dirt etc... I am 💯 agree with avoiding all chemicals from industrial soaps, but I'd like to educate myself about the natural cleaning process of our body. I'm also quite maniac I guessed, and I do "need" to wash my hands very often, especially if I come from outside, or before preparing meal and touching my food, it's a necessity for me, I would not feel clean just rinsing them under water. So do you have any video where you explain this, thank you 🙏
I use butter, lard, tallow., I have not had a bath or shower in years.
I tried the vinegar on a damp cloth wipe down under my arms when I finshed bathing this morning after watching Dr Sam's video on not using soap, shampoo, nor deoderant last night. I got dressed soon after the axillary vinegar wipe down & when I changed into a sleep shirt, the top I'd worn all day had NO body odor scent & tjere was none in my axillae. My husband double checked & we were amazed.
Great advice and I will certainly try this... However I'm not going to stop using my cologne just yet 😜👍🏻
i started using powdered clay (kaolin and bentonite are most affordable) and mixing it with water to get a runny liquid to use as my hair wash, and for body and teeth i put less water so it's more pasty.
Along with cool water (with is naturally astringent)
it's been working wonders
I tried no poo for 8 months. I also used the baking soda and Apple Cider vinegar method. My hair was so extremely greasy, I couldn't stand it anymore. I stunk, that disgusting greasy her smell that "certain people" have. I bought a boar bristle brush, but it only went as deep as the outer, top hairs. There was no way it would go through all my hair. Are the bristles to soft!? Are there boar bristle brushes with thicker stiffer bristles? I do want to get off of shampoo. It is said to persist for 2 months . After 8 it was still successful 🥺 I don't know what to do.
I also want to get off of soaps. But showering everyday dries out the skin, doesn't it? I have oily hair with dry ends. And dry skin that will can bleed if I don't use a bodylotion. Can you please advise @Dr. Sam Bailey? Thank you in advance ❤
Hi everyone. Any info on facial moisturisers? Natural options etc?
Thank you
I have been using apple cider vinegar instead of soap in the shower for about 9 months. Works great! I actually healed a few skin conditions within just a couple weeks of doing it. I got rid of warts, other growths that were like moles or warts, and I got rid of a callous on my Achilles tendon!
Our skin is supposed to have an acid mantle. Soap os alkaline. So it’s best to use it very sparingly as you are doing. The Apple cider vinegar is acidic, so helps us keep that acid mantle on the skin.
Thanks for the reminder about the dry brush. I may get back into doing that.
hi Rebecca. Found your post interesting. How do you use the apple cider vinegar for showering? Do you just pour some into your hands and rub it on skin and then rinse off?
@@kayl2307 I found out about it from the crazy vinegar lady on Facebook. There are a few ways to do it. Some people put acv in a spray bottle and spray a body part and then scrub the body part with a microfiber cloth. I do it like you suggested, where I pour some into my hands, spread it over part of my body, maybe let it sit for a moment, and then scrub with a microfiber cloth. And rinse.
I don't know about this.
Hot water can strip oils from skin too. the temperature, duration, and frequency, showering daily or every 3 days.
So I am testing using less soap and only for armpits and groin and legs.
My brother with bipolar, stopped showering for several weeks, and when he decided to resume, would only wet his body. no soap.
so he would still smell like intense but wet b.o.
maybe he wasn't rubbing his skin with the water and only used it very briefly.
I agree with your premise, but most people are not in optimal health, like you or your husband. My absolute biggest concern would be (ok, here goes) crotch, butt crack, anus, penis/foreskin. I can’t imagine working out in the heat all day and coming home to a dry brush and a soapless shower. Thanks for the information though. Very interesting and very helpful. I love your videos.
Ty for asking! I was thinking the same. Feet as well.
I agree.
I share your concerns...plus I have oily skin and hair and just water will not be sufficient
Also, she contradicts herself when she says she uses goats milk soap in some circumstances. In other words, she uses soap.
You would still have to scrub with whatever you use like you do with soap. I've done it after being nasty from basketball. Under water I use my nails to see if any dirt still comes up up on my body. Once none does it's fine. You feel clean.
I'll definitely give a try!
Great
. I used to skin brush years ago but was just to remove dead skin from what I remember. I'll pull it out and start using your technique. Appreciated.
After long time, I found somebody who is thinking same way as I am! I left soap since last 4 years. Never used any shampoo since last 15 years. When I left soap, my dry skin started to recover immediately and became moist and soft. I do use natural cleanser. These so called cleaning products are actually the roots of skin problems.
Bath oil and skin brushing. 10 years. Shampoo once or twice a month. I do soap my pits once a week as well and wear deodorant. My gf is on the other extreme - every day
Thank you for your videos! I will definitely give this shower method a try. Side note- I wash my hair with baking soda and vinegar rinse after watching your other video and it’s working out so well. ❤
I inadvertently stopped using body soap years ago, I can’t remember exactly why, but I do remember that my skin would always be very dry and would seem to slough off when I came out of the shower after using body soap. My skin has never been better, I get less acne across my back (although still some but I think it’s the shampoo doing that), it’s never dry, and weirdly my tattoos heal better! Never going back
