I use patchouli soap for my skin...

That's why it has mint or something mixed in, to mask the odd smell.

 

does it truly mask the smell? because i find patchouli to be extremely pungent and to me seems like it would just smell like minty patchouli. i mean, maybe it doesn't???

 

anyways, my dad always used oils. baby oil, avocado oil, olive oil... and that seemed to work splendid for him. ever try that? you can even buy oil base cleansers everywhere meow. oil fights oil!

Not totally, but clean clothes and deodorant and sometimes a tiny bit of cologne hide the leftover :D

 

And it's not oily skin I'm worried about, it's psoriasis. :(

uhgh... my hs girlfriend used to bathe in that stuff.

 

i have flashbacks every time i smell it.  :|

 

I don't like douse myself in it :D Just a little bit on a washcloth. So really the only way you'll smell it on me is after I've worked on a greasy engine or something of the sort, and used it to scrub my hands.

i meant oil to clean off the grease and oil from working on biz. but if you have psoriasis, you should probs be doing coconut oil then anyways. its good for alleviating symptoms and moisturizing. a couple people i know who have severe cases of such swear by it. the girl is allergic to almost everything also, which makes her psoriasis even worse. like, she has old lady skin. leathery and chapped always. i always give her the heads up when we get in a ton of the essential oils at work. she mixes vitamin e, tea tree, lavender, and geranium oil with coconut oil. i guess those other ones are good for treating any inflammation when it is at its worst. but anywho, you could clean your hands maybe with the coconut oil also. i use coconut oil, baby oil, or avocado oil whenever i have to take off water proof mascara and liquid/gel liners. the stuff comes right off! i don't even bother with the expensive make up removers anymore for that shiz when this works even better and i already have it on hand.

 

but ya know, whatevs works for you! just some other options :)

No I'm actually gonna look into this a little bit more. I'm not too concerned about the spots on my side, mainly what's on my scalp, so I appreciate the input  <3
