its supposed to irritate the skin more or smth but i do it anyway and don't have problems
Would like to try.. any damage possible to eyes or skin?
i used to have trouble with dry skin, so i stopped using soap beyond shampoo for my hair and lower parts. i haven't had issues since.
Symptomatic relief is great, but isn't the real worry skin cancer?
"what goes on your skin goes in your body" amirite?
If this would help with poison ivy outbreaks I would be all over this.
but what about for meal times? we'd have to apply lotion again?
Wonder if this might help with mosquito bites also.
Wouldn't that inhibit rash swelling?
Skin absorbs. So it's at least partially related.
