I need help! I’m reposting this from a different post:

Ok so I currently hate showering and avoid it for various reasons. I shower but I do so in a rush and ina grumpy sort of way. Someone suggested I romanticize the shower. So I’m going to try.

Important: I have sensitive skin. I tend to overreact to things like fragrance and random extra ingredients like “ceramides.” I currently use Yardley bar soap or one of those French goats milk soaps I pick up at the market. I used to use Monsavon from France when my mom used to buy it for me, I liked that one. Used to use Dr Bronners but I’m kind of over it, very drying.

I’m so out of touch with body wash and soap. I never thought to take care of myself by choosing good/interesting body care products. I’m looking for that extra special something to my shower routine

Then I hear two camps: absolutely use antibacterial on pits and bite; or absolutely do NOT because it will cause the bacteria to become resistant?

also what’s the difference between soap and body wash? They aren’t interchangeable, right? I like to smell good! I can always moisturize after the shower. so I need soap only, yes?

I just want a good-smelling, non irritating shower routine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ones I’ve tried and don’t like:
- Neutrogena (The Rain one smelled good but didn’t lather great, didn’t find it to stand out for any reason)
- Aveeno (too moisturizing I think)
- Oil of Olay - smell great but too sensitive for all that fragrance now

So for the shower, I’ve tried using hands, loofah, net..currently I use a silicone body scrubber and I enjoy that. Important: I have sensitive skin.

I’m so out of touch with body wash and soap. I never thought to take care of myself by choosing good/interesting body care products. Always see Naturium on social media - all hype? I just need something basic but elevated, to add that extra special something to my shower routine

I just want a good-smelling, non irritating shower routine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. PS on a budget but hopefully not for too long… so I’m interested in affordable but I can aspire to a more luxury experience one day as well

I was reading his bio and it says he grew up in Massapequa Park and went to Catholic schools his whole life… Does anyone happen know which schools he went to? I always find it fascinating to see the notable alumni from Long Island Catholic schools

*magnesium stearate

Anyone else?

It’s in EVERYTHING!!!!

I told my pharmacist who was kind enough to look into whether my claritin and zyrtec contained it - both do!

She mentioned there is a way to get meds in a different form, such as liquid, if you have a good enough reason. Or something to that effect. I don’t fully remember. But she seemed genuinely surprised at my reaction and said she’d never heard of it before.

Worth talking to my doctor? Supplements I can (try to) control — but it’s definitely hard. But prescription meds I cannot

Or should I try to use my old HS account (20 years old)?

Reasons I want to make an account:

-I need to get a feel for the digital exam.

-I need to figure out a way to give clients a diagnostic exam.

Last time I tutored, about 7-8 years ago, the SAT was paper-based
