Description

Are we too clean, not clean enough… or just making it all up as we go?

You brush, rinse, scrub, shave, exfoliate, moisturize, pluck, dab, blot, and maybe—just maybe—wonder if it’s all a bit much. Spoiler: It might be.

In "To Wash or Not to Wash" - Clean, Dirty, or Just Confused? The Hygiene & Beauty Dilemma You Didn’t Know You Had, author Andreas Baku takes a hilariously honest, sometimes uncomfortable, and oddly enlightening journey through modern hygiene and beauty habits. With entertaining humor and sharp insight, he unpacks everything from deodorant dilemmas to skin-care scams—and asks the ultimate question: Are we doing all this for health, hygiene, and our beauty… or just for show?

What to Expect Inside:

- The truth about how often you should shower (and what you’re doing to your poor skin)
- The razor reality: shaving myths, routines, and eco-friendly alternatives
- A breakdown of what we’re spending (and overspending) in the name of “freshness”
- Deep dives into deodorant, face wash, anal hygiene (yes, we go there), and beauty marketing madness
- Quizzes, checklists, cultural insights, and a whole lot of myth-busting

Smart, funny, and unfiltered, this book will make you laugh, cringe, question your habits, and maybe rethink that 12-step “clean girl” routine.

Whether you’re hygiene-obsessed, beautifully indifferent, or somewhere in between—this book is your permission to clean up smarter, not harder.

Are we too clean, not clean enough… or just making it all up as we go?

You brush, rinse, scrub, shave, exfoliate, moisturize, pluck, dab, blot, and maybe—just maybe—wonder if it’s all a bit much...
