re: Soap for “Old People Smell”

When you’re a woman, hormonal shifts in perimenopause/menopause increase the smell when you sweat. You can also use Head and Shoulders for a similar effect (to reduce the smell/bacteria).

I’ll keep that in mind next time I’m a woman

I’ve read that your skin glands do change as you get older and that’s why there is an old people smell. It’s not from lack of bathing.

So there is something to the persimmon soap...

I used to use Pine Tar soap to repel ticks.

My gramps used to use the pine tar shampoo. Used to love using that when I was a kid.

Found the root cause of the “old people smell” you noticed. Maybe you’ll get a five spot in your next birthday card.

When I think of soap used to hit a blast from the past, I think of big white bars of Ivory. The soap that floated in the tub.

Marilyn liked it, too.
