TWO dermatologists have been met with backlash online after claiming you don’t have to use body wash all over your body.
Doctor Dray and Lindsey both made the claim on TikTok where they have both gone viral.
Dr Dray started the claim, saying in a TikTok video: “Are you using soap on your arms and legs?
“STOP!”
She said all you needed was a quick rinse unless the skin was visibly soiled.
Dr Dray added: “You are just wasting your time and money.”

The video was viewed over 900k times, and users were quick to dismiss the advice.
One wrote: “I’m gonna act like I didn’t see this.”
“I’m ok wasting money to not smell like onion soup.” Another viewer said.
But, then Dr Lindsey, got involved in the debate, saying she only uses soap for the ‘three p’s’ – privates, pits and piggies.
Dr Lindsey ‘dueted’ the TikTok video, and explained in a comment: “Soap for the entire body is unnecessary. Simply washing with water is fine. Soap should be used for ‘dirty areas’. Good advice for those with dry skin.”
The video was viewed over one million times, and many who saw it couldn’t disagree with the doctors more.
“Nah, I’m washing my whole body.” One woman asserted.
Another said: “absolutely not, I’m cleaning my whole body! top to bottom!”
“No ma’am. Now I feel like I can’t trust you.” A third user commented.
