The main thing I’m trying to remove from my body is external dirt and piss/shit/cum.
Pretty much, this is what most people probably should focus on, and doing so for the most part smells and hygiene alike shouldn't be an issue. I rarely use shampoo or conditioner, oftentimes don't even wash my hair or let it wet (heavy water), and most of the time I'm not soaping down entirely, just where it's needed (genitals and below, also armpits though mine don't stink but it fits- sometimes the face as well but then I'm probs gonna moisturize after as I hate the feeling of dry skin and was raised w/ it as a habit).
