I’m taking a shower at someone else’s house and I noticed they have 1 bottle that says “3-in-1, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash”.
Why isn’t this the standard? Why do we even need 3 different types of soaps to bathe?? Have I bought into Big Soap capitalist propaganda without even noticing??
I just finished showering with the 3-1 soap and I don’t feel any difference between the 1 soap vs the 3 soaps I have at home.
Same goes for cleaning your house, you can choose to a buy a single bottle of multipurpose cleaner and clean everything with that. Just pour it over dirty dishes, dirty laundry, sticky floors, smelly toilets. Just kidding of course, but there is a balance. You don’t need handwash, feetwash, neckwash and bellywash because those areas are rather similar.
If you have sensitive or acne prone skin you better get something gentle for your face. If your hair doesn’t gets clean with body wash (or you get dry or oily skin if you wash your body with shampoo), better get another product for that.
That leaves you with 1 to 3 cleaning products (bodywash, facewash, shampoo). If you not only want to clean, but also want to care you’ll need 1 to 3 caring products (body lotion, face cream, conditioner). But capitalism means you can get 1 to infinity products, it’s good you’re questioning what you do and don’t need.
