00:00Hey, I'm Asia, and I'm taking on the challenge of not showering for five days.
00:07I'm used to taking a shower every day.
00:10My apartment is hot, I'm just sweaty and nasty, and my armpits stink, my feet stink.
00:17I need to take a shower.
00:19So to help me during this challenge, I'm going to be using apple cider vinegar, which is
00:23supposed to help with pH balance, and then I'm going to be using this antiseptic skin
00:28cleanser that's supposed to reduce bacteria that causes smell.
00:32Am I ready?
00:33I don't think you could ever be ready for this kind of challenge.
00:36I can smell my pits already.
00:41So day one is going okay.
00:43I'm not really too concerned about today.
00:46Again, I already stink, but that's kind of normal because I sweat a lot.
00:50I do know that we don't have to shower as often as we think we do.
00:53We can get away with showering every two days or every three days.
00:58Day is winding down a bit, and I've had my hair, like, up.
01:02I had it sort of way when it was down, and now it's, like, dry because I wet it, like,
01:10earlier.
01:12But I think I'm going to wet it again.
01:15I don't know if that's against the rules, just wetting my hair, but I'm definitely going to do it if
01:21I need to.
01:22So it's day two, and I'm tired.
01:26I kind of, like, bleed that shower, like, that hot water, like, beading on my face to wake me up.
01:34I don't really stink that much today.
01:37So day two is actually not horrible.
01:41As far as cleaning goes, I got these here wipes, and I mean, they're making me feel more comfortable.
01:50So it's the end of the day, and I'm extremely tired, and I do want to take a shower.
01:58I really, really do.
01:59It gives me energy.
02:01It revives me, and there's still work that I have to do, so this sucks.
02:09So we're about to go to a location where we have to load in a ton of equipment, and I'm
02:13not ready to sweat.
02:17Like, it's still early, so hopefully I can stay fresh throughout the day.
02:23I've been using this cleanser that's supposed to be, like, an antiseptic.
02:28And she smells so good.
02:29I don't, I don't smell good.
02:31So I also got, um, apple cider vinegar, and so far that's winning.
02:36Like, that's getting rid of the smell, but then I low-key just smell like apple cider vinegar.
02:39Mmm, that could be what I'm kind of intrigued by.
02:42I don't want to stink.
02:44I don't want my body to be in pain.
02:47I just want warm water to beat down on me.
02:50There are a lot more benefits to it than just getting clean.
02:54So mentally, it's been messing with me this whole time.
02:59I just got done shooting photos in this super hot sun, and I'm definitely sweating.
03:08I'm actually not stinking that much.
03:10I don't know, maybe because it's the beginning of the day, but I feel disgusting.
03:16Now I actually feel nasty and, like, groggy, and my hair is suffering.
03:22I cannot wait to wash my hair.
03:25Honestly, it's not even about being clean.
03:28That's what I need to, like, energize me and just make my body feel better.
03:35All right, so it's the last day.
03:37It's the last day of taking no showers.
03:39I'm actually extremely excited, and I don't know.
03:43I guess I have energy because I know it's about to end.
03:46But yeah, I mean, today's going to be a long day, though, because I have to do a ton of
03:49work.
03:49I also have to be around, like, influencers and celebrities while I stink.
03:55So that'll be an interesting experience.
03:57I had a super long day at Beautycon LA, sweating like crazy.
04:04But I'm super excited because I am going to take a shower tonight.
04:08It's going to be the longest shower of all time.
04:11All right.
04:11Well, it's been five days.
04:14So, here we go.
04:18Woo!
04:20Yes!
04:22And now excuse me while I enjoy my shower.
04:26I must tell you, it feels amazing to take a shower finally.
04:32I'm starting to feel like myself again.
04:34Being able to shower is a privilege.
04:39It's something that not everybody can do or has access to.
04:44I mean, I definitely took showers for granted.
04:50So, these five days have probably been more mentally draining and more emotionally draining
04:57than, like, physically working so hard and then not having something like water therapy
05:04to make my body feel better.
05:06If you want to put yourself to the test, I would say not necessarily go five straight days
05:11without a shower, maybe shower a little less or just appreciate the fact that you have
05:16out water even more than you do because I'm pretty sure we all take it for granted at some point.
