I've been soapless for years and my skin is great too. Even now in the winter when it's so dry and everyone else is slathering on moisturizer, I find I never need it. I'm just starting to kick the shampoo habit – hasn't been quite a week yet. My scalp's actually driving me crazy right now, but I'm going to stick it out. From what I've read, it should take about 5 weeks before it settles down.
