Here is a thread for one of my (stranger) current life experiments.
Has anyone else weighed themselves using a digital scale- both before AND after taking a shower or bath?

I have this weird system I've been playing around with- involves using dawn dish soap- and no rough scrubbies.
You know when you wash dishes, how sometimes they feel slippery, until they're clean- and then they feel that thing we call 'squeaky clean'?
Well. I've noticed my skin

does that, too.
It requires staying under hot water for a period of time, and using something highly grease cutting, but gentle. Rinse, then skin feels squeaky clean.
But- return to that area of skin a few minutes later, and for me- it feels slippery again. This is pretty much

solely areas of skin like thighs/arms etc.
When I do this a number of times, I have been consistently weighing between 2-8 oz less AFTER bathing, than before.
Anyone willing to help me gather more data in this weird experiment? Curious if this is just a Me thing, or not!!

But abraded my skin some, when I wasn't careful. Just

really gently use my hands to work up lather, then rinse- move onto another spot, repeat, working my way around.
Also why I mentioned that I use Dawn!
Most of the chemicals/fragrances in body washes dry my skin out.
This method, does not!
