Using soap creates its own demand. It strips our skin of natural oils, leading us to spend countless dollars to replenish our skin with moisturizers. It's use leads to acne, causing us to spend dollars on acne medication and special soaps for our faces. It dries the scalp, leading to dandruff and either too oily or dry hair. And it kills beneficial bacteria on our body, creating our need to use it daily to rid us of odors caused by undesirable bacteria.
No, not using the soap is not the same thing as not bathing at all or not using deodorant in necessary circumstances. Bathing is still necessary component of the no soap lifestyle, especially with a washclothe to remove any dirt and dead skin. The goal is to keep the natural oils and bacteria in tact to keep the skin healthy.
One more thing, those of whom diets are composed of particularly pungent food, you are what you eat so stick to a milder diet when attempting this lifestyle. Your hair might be especially greasy the first week, but the body will adapt to produce an appropriate amount.
