Face, Hand & Body Wash Complete Usage Guide: How to Use, What Makes It Different & Best ResultsUpdated a month ago

Quick Answer

P2 Face, Hand & Body Wash is a versatile probiotic cleanser safe for your entire body, face, hands, and even hair. Always shake before use to distribute probiotics evenly. Use with water like any soap - in the shower with a loofah, or in pump dispensers at sinks for convenient hand and face washing. Our soil-spore probiotics continue protecting your skin microbiome hours after rinsing, unlike traditional soaps that stop working immediately.

Getting Started: Basic Usage

How to Use

In the Shower or Bath:

Always shake the bottle first to evenly disperse the probiotics
Mix P2 wash with water on a cleaning puff or loofah (makes product last longer)
Use as you would any body wash on all parts of your body
Can also be used directly from bottle if preferred
Rinse thoroughly

At Bathroom and Kitchen Sinks:

We recommend pump dispensers at every sink - more convenient and aesthetic
Shake bottle before refilling dispensers
The pumping action helps distribute probiotics naturally
Use for hand washing and face washing throughout the day
A little goes a long way

For Face Washing: Apply to damp face, gently massage, and rinse thoroughly. Safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Many customers with acne, eczema, or psoriasis use this as their primary facial cleanser.

Versatile Applications

Can I Use It As Shampoo?

Yes! Many customers successfully use our Face, Hand & Body Wash as shampoo. Our probiotics work on scalp microbiome just like they do on skin, helping to eliminate biofilm where scalp issues often originate.

The Honest Truth: Results vary based on hair type and personal preferences. Some people love it and make the permanent switch from traditional shampoo. Others prefer to stick with conventional hair products. It's completely safe to experiment - try it and see what works for your hair.

Bonus Discovery: Some adventurous customers even use our Surface Cleaner (full strength, not diluted) as shampoo with great results! All P2 products are safe enough to ingest (though the coconut detergents don't taste great), so there's no harm in trying different applications.

Multiple Locations for Maximum Protection

Strategic Placement: Keep bottles or pump dispensers at:

Every bathroom sink
Kitchen sink
Each shower/bath
Guest bathrooms

This creates continuous probiotic protection throughout your day as you wash hands, face, and body regularly.

What Makes P2 Different from Regular Soap

The Microscopic Advantage

Traditional Body Washes:

Clean only surface-level dirt and oils
Stop working the moment you rinse
Often leave soap residue on skin
Can disrupt skin's natural bacterial balance
May contain harsh chemicals and sulfates

P2 Face, Hand & Body Wash:

Cleans to the microscopic level of skin where germs actually breed
Eliminates biofilm - the protective plaque where harmful bacteria hide
Continues protecting your skin microbiome for hours after rinsing
Rinses completely clean with no residue or lingering smell
Creates and maintains balanced skin microbiome
Free from chemicals, alcohol, sulfates, phthalates, triclosan

The Biofilm Connection

Most skin issues stem from biofilm - a microscopic protective shelter that harmful bacteria build on your skin. Traditional soaps can't penetrate this biofilm, so they never address the root cause of skin problems.

Our hardy soil-spore probiotics penetrate epidermis layers to eliminate biofilm through competitive exclusion - they compete with harmful bacteria for food sources, winning the "bacterial scrimmage" and starving out the bad bacteria while maintaining beneficial bacterial diversity.

"A Different Kind of Clean"

P2 rinses away soap residue completely while establishing a protective probiotic layer on your skin. This invisible beneficial bacteria barrier continues working for hours after washing - you can't see it or feel it as "soapy," but it's actively maintaining your skin microbiome. Traditional soaps leave unwanted chemical buildup; P2 leaves nature's protective shield.

Skin Condition Support

How It Works: By eliminating biofilm and maintaining balanced skin microbiome, our probiotics address the bacterial imbalance that contributes to most skin issues. This isn't masking symptoms - it's supporting your skin's natural ability to heal and maintain itself.

Usage Tips & Best Practices

Getting the Most from Your Bottle

Make It Last Longer:

Use a cleaning puff or loofah in shower/bath
A little product mixed with water creates plenty of lather
Pump dispensers at sinks encourage appropriate portions
One 12 fl oz bottle provides weeks of regular use

Shake First: Our powerful probiotics naturally settle to the bottom of bottles. Always shake before use to evenly disperse them throughout the product.

Mix with Water: The water from the shower head or faucet activates the probiotics. Whether using a loofah in the shower or washing hands at a sink, mixing with water is part of how the product works.

Safe for Sensitive Areas: Unlike many conventional soaps, P2 Face, Hand & Body Wash is gentle enough for all parts of your body, including sensitive areas. The pH-neutral, food-grade formula won't cause irritation.

No! If you choose to use P2 Face, Hand & Body Wash, you do not need traditional soap.

Troubleshooting Common Questions

"My skin feels different - is this normal?"

Yes! Many people notice their skin feels "differently clean" compared to traditional soap. This is because:

No soap residue or film left behind
Skin's natural oils aren't completely stripped
Balanced microbiome creates healthier skin texture

If you experience any irritation, this is rare but discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

"The probiotics settle to the bottom - is my product bad?"

No, this is completely normal! Our powerful probiotics naturally move to the bottom of bottles. This is why we emphasize shaking before each use. The probiotics are alive and active - settling is a natural characteristic of soil-spore probiotics in liquid suspension.

"How much should I use per wash?"

Less than you think! A small amount (about the size of a quarter for body washing, less for hands/face) mixed with water on a loofah or in your hands creates effective cleaning. Start with less and add more if needed - you'll find your personal sweet spot.

"Can I use it with my essential oils?"

We don't recommend adding essential oils to P2 products. Many essential oils have antimicrobial properties that can interfere with or kill our beneficial Bacillus probiotics - defeating the purpose of using probiotic skincare. Our formula is complete as designed, with organic spearmint and vanilla providing a pleasant natural scent while preserving probiotic effectiveness.

The Science Behind the Clean

Why Soil-Spore Probiotics Work Better

Traditional body washes use harsh chemicals or antibacterial agents that kill all bacteria indiscriminately - good and bad. This disrupts your skin's natural microbiome and can actually make skin problems worse over time.

P2's Advantage: Our soil-spore based beneficial bacteria form protective endospores that:

Survive in various pH environments
Remain stable and active on your skin
Work through competitive exclusion, not killing
Maintain beneficial bacterial diversity
Continue protecting between washes

Competitive Exclusion in Action

Once on your skin, our beneficial bacteria don't kill other bacteria indiscriminately. Instead, they compete for food sources through competitive exclusion - winning the "bacterial scrimmage" and starving out harmful bacteria while allowing beneficial bacteria to thrive.

This natural approach:

Maintains skin microbiome diversity
Eliminates biofilm where pathogens hide
Creates lasting skin balance
Supports your body's own protective systems
Works continuously, not just during washing
