			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://uploads.neatorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/2489864601_df1ff9efe4_m-150x93.jpg" alt="" title="2489864601_df1ff9efe4_m" width="150" height="93" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-40304" />Sean Bonner reasoned that human beings have evolved without soap, and therefore it&#8217;s unnatural to strip away the dirt, oil, and grime of daily life with it.  As an experiment, he stopped using soap and shampoo for a year.  Although Bonner still showers on a regular basis, he uses just water.  He&#8217;s written about his experience so far, and why he&#8217;s decided to give up on soap permanently:</p>
<blockquote><p>As I just mentioned, my skin feels better than ever before. Not that it ever felt bad, really, but it feels awesome now. Still no stink at all, I swear even when I&#8217;m really active and sweating I don&#8217;t notice any B.O., and I used to be über self-conscious about this and would think I was stinking if I walked up a flight of stairs too quickly. So this is a huge improvement for sure. And with the exception of changing climates drastically, even the dandruff is history. My previously wavy and mostly unmanageable hair now seems much more willing to bend to my will, a dream of mine since I first looked in a mirror, brush in hand, then tried and failed to make any sense of that monster. So I approve for sure.</p>
<p>And speaking of hair, that was actually a perfect test. Sometime mid-summer I stopped by a barber and before I&#8217;d realized it he&#8217;d squirted a glob of shampoo onto my head. It was too late to protest, so I just sat through the scrubbing. For the following 2 weeks my hair was a mess: full of dandruff and totally uncontrollable. Once things balanced back out to the previously established no-soap norms, all was good again. </p></blockquote>
