On my rest days from the gym and when I don’t have any particularly special event or gathering to go to I’ll skip a shower that day.

My normal showers are already solely using filtered water and a loofah. But giving the skin microbiome a break is always good.

I liken it to real milk vs pastuerized “milk”, when you get rid of the natural enzymes the milk rots and spoils whereas with the natural enzymes the milk clabbers. Fully intact (just a slightly sour taste).
