If VCO (virgin coconut oil) dries out your skin (which actually happens to many people!), you’re likely reacting to how it sits on the skin without really penetrating — especially if your skin is dry or sensitive.
✅ Best Oils for You (Non-drying, deeply moisturizing):
Since your skin dries out with VCO, you’ll want oils that are more emollient and absorb well:
π§΄ Recommended:
-
Jojoba oil – most similar to skin’s natural sebum; very balancing and non-drying
-
Sweet almond oil – light, moisturizing, absorbs well
-
Sesame oil (cold-pressed) – deeply nourishing, traditional in lulur
-
Sunflower seed oil (non-comedogenic) – gentle and good for dry/sensitive skin
-
Rice bran oil – very moisturizing and traditional in Japan/Indonesia
❌ Avoid: Coconut oil, castor oil, and even olive oil if you notice they “sit” on your skin without softening it

Here's a modern, soap-free body care routine inspired by ancient traditions — safe, effective, and perfect if you want to go natural ✨
πΏπ Natural Soap-Free Body Routine (Gentle & Detoxifying)
π 1–2x a Week: Deep Cleansing Ritual
πΈ Ingredients:
-
2 tbsp gram flour (besan) or rice flour
-
1 tsp turmeric (optional, brightening)
-
1 tbsp yogurt or aloe vera gel
-
1 tsp olive oil or coconut oil
-
Water or rosewater (to make a paste)
πΈ How to Use:
-
Mix into a smooth paste.
-
Apply all over damp body like a mask.
-
Let it sit for 5 minutes.
-
Gently scrub with your hands or a washcloth.
-
Rinse with warm water.
π§♀️ This lifts dirt, smooths skin, and balances oil naturally.
πΏ Daily Light Cleaning (No Soap Needed)
Option 1: Oil Cleansing + Warm Water
-
Use olive oil, sesame oil, or jojoba oil.
-
Massage onto skin.
-
Soak towel in warm water, wring it out, then press gently to wipe oil + dirt.
-
Repeat for full body.
π§ This lifts impurities while keeping skin soft and moisturized.
Option 2: Clay Rinse (2–3x/week)
-
Mix Rhassoul clay or bentonite clay with water.
-
Apply a thin layer on body in shower.
-
Rinse after 1–2 minutes.
π§Ό Clays bind oil and toxins, like a natural soap substitute.
π§½ Exfoliation (1–2x/week)
-
Use coffee + sugar + olive oil scrub on arms, legs, back.
-
Avoid scrubbing sensitive areas like nipples too hard.
π Deodorizing & Odor Care (Optional)
-
Dust arrowroot powder or baking soda + lavender oil underarms after bathing.
-
Or use a natural mineral salt deodorant (like crystal stick).
πΈ Final Touch: Moisturize
-
Apply shea butter, coconut oil, or aloe vera while skin is still damp.
-
For underarms or intimate areas: use rosehip oil or vitamin E oil sparingly.
π‘ Tips:
-
If menstruating, sweating a lot, or exposed to pollution: use natural liquid castile soap just for underarms and intimate zones.
-
Let your skin breathe — don't over-scrub every day.
Before modern soap was invented, people did clean themselves, but with more natural, regional methods. Here's a quick journey through history and across cultures:
πΊ 1. Ancient Civilizations
-
Egyptians used a mix of clays, animal fats, and alkaline salts.
-
Greeks and Romans used olive oil — they’d rub it on the body, then scrape it off with a tool called a strigil, pulling dirt with it.
-
They also soaked in hot water baths and used ashes mixed with oils.
πΏ 2. In Asia
-
Ayurveda (India): people used herbs, gram flour (besan), turmeric, sandalwood, and multani mitti (fuller's earth) to cleanse skin.
-
Japan: used rice bran, salt, or just hot water baths (onsen). They valued soaking and exfoliating.
-
Indonesia: women traditionally used lulur — a body scrub made from turmeric, rice powder, and sandalwood. ( Sandalwood= Cendana)
π 3. Middle East & Africa
-
Rhassoul clay (Morocco) was used as both hair and body cleanser.
-
Black soap (African tradition) was made from ash of plantain skins, cocoa pods, and palm oil.
-
Use of kessa glove and hammam (steam baths) helped exfoliate without soap.
π 4. Native Traditions (Globally)
-
Used ash + fat, herbs, or rubbing sand and water to remove dirt.
-
Smoke cleansing and sweat lodges were also used to purify body and spirit.
π§ͺ So why did soap become popular?
Soap (from fats + lye) cleans better and faster — especially when people started working in cities, sweating more, and dealing with modern bacteria and pollution.
✅ Summary:
Before soap, people used:
-
Oil + scraping
-
Natural scrubs (salt, sugar, rice)
-
Clays, herbs, and ashes
-
Hot water baths + steam
So yes — it's possible to be clean without soap, but it takes more time and technique.
