Sorry for folks with eczema, but maybe it's about the soap you're using versus not using soap. I've had the misfortune of working with people who thought showering was optional and it's not pleasant. So unless you want to offend others and be referred to as the stinky co-worker please wash.

You've conflated "not using soap to clean oneself" with "not cleaning oneself".

I have several friends who do shower, but don't use soap except for hands or when they're actually dirty. None of them get funky, except when we're camping and nobody's been able to take a shower for a while.

Just water or is there some soap proxy?

Just water. Just like what TFA is suggesting.

Not not showering, showering without soap

"Hamblin started to notice that he smelled less pleasant when stressed." I guess I just worked with a bunch a stressed people..
