Most people think soap is harmless-even necessary. But what if that bar of "clean" is the very thing destroying your skin?In Stripped: The Dirty Truth About Soap, you'll uncover how a simple hygiene habit has quietly undermined your skin's health for decades. Drawing on cutting-edge dermatology, historical analysis, and brutally honest system thinking, this book exposes the widespread damage caused by daily soap use-from microbiome disruption and chronic inflammation to premature aging and hair thinning.Forget everything you've been told about dirt, oil, and what it means to be "clean." This isn't another natural skincare trend. It's a radical re-evaluation of hygiene itself-why your skin produces oil, how soap interferes with its biology, and what happens when you remove it completely.Learn why high-pH cleansers wreck your barrier, how shampoo mimics industrial detergent, and why the skin's own defenses are more powerful than any product on the shelf. Then go deeper: into the billion-dollar fear-based marketing machine that made soap untouchable, the cultural obsession with overcleaning, and the quiet resurgence of no-soap, no-shampoo movements that are backed by real data-not hype.Whether you're battling dryness, acne, itchiness, or just want fewer products and better results, Stripped gives you a clear blueprint: what to stop using, what actually works, and how to reset your hygiene without wrecking your skin in the process.Your skin was never broken. It was just interrupted. This book shows you how to stop the cycle-one stripped-down step at a time.
