To Wash Or Not To Wash

The Truth About Hygiene, Beauty Routines and Myths That Make Us Buy More

Are we actually clean… or just well-lathered and financially endangered?

Daily showers. Multi-step skincare. Deodorant debates. “Must-have” products that somehow expire emotionally the moment a new one drops. Modern hygiene has become confusing, expensive, and weirdly exhausting—and we’re all pretending this is normal.

In To Wash or Not to Wash: The Truth About Hygiene, Beauty Routines, and Myths That Make Us Buy More, Andreas Baku takes a funny, sharp look at how “clean” turned into a billion-dollar industry powered by trends, guilt, and marketing that quietly whispers: you’re one product away from acceptable.

Inside you’ll explore:

• How often we actually need to wash (and what happens when we overdo it)
• Where hygiene ends and social pressure begins
• Which routines help… and which just drain your wallet
• Why the “more product” mindset keeps winning
• How to simplify without feeling like you’re committing a cleanliness crime

Smart, relatable, and refreshingly honest, To Wash or Not to Wash is part myth-buster, part reality check, and part permission slip to stop overthinking your bathroom routine.

If you’ve ever stood in an aisle staring at 47 versions of “gentle” cleanser thinking, Is this necessary?—this book is for you.

Funny, entertaining

Quite funny and entertaining, but I am not 100% sure that the author did not use AI for writing this book. I might be wrong. It was still a nice book. I did not mind the robot voice.
