Defense Soap

I got some defense soap in the mail yesterday. I heard about it on Joe Rogan. It's supposed to help protect you from common funguses and bacteria which you can pickup from wrestling. Apparently, it's a real issue in Jiu-Jitsu. Some people have even died from poorly treated infections.

The soap is supposed to help preserve your skins natural oils and flora, which is your bodies best defense. In class, we were told that you should take a shower within 4 hours of rolling to prevent whatever you might have picked up from "sticking" to your skin. I guess that is the window before the fungus or bacteria can get a chance to really embed itself onto your skin. I also heard someone mention on the Joe Rogan show that you shouldn't shower 30 minutes before class since your skin flora needs time to recover.

I used the soap last night and enjoyed it. I have sensitive skin. If I don't use the right soap, I get really dry skin, so I am really picky about the soap I use. The soap doesn't really smell like anything other than a light oily smell. It doesn't have any perfumes or other flowery fragrances I can detect, but I have a poor sense of smell. It also seems like a really dense bar, so I think it will last while. Otherwise, it did the trick and got me feeling nice and clean.
