No worries!
Low energy problems require low energy solutions.
Edit: Oh yeah and if you don’t frequently do thorough scrubbing showers, dead skin can build up a bit (and so can antiperspirant residue).
If you eventually get more energy after a time like that, use some exfoliating gloves from the supermarket with your soap or body wash to do a good scrub everywhere.
Or you can soak a little in the warm water and then gently use an Italy towel without soap (I usually do it after washing). Very cheap on eBay. Avoid your face or any delicate areas, scrub gently, and don’t do it more than once a week. Follow it with lotion if need be.
If your skin is sore or tight you were overzealous.
You can also slip an exfoliating mitt (similar to the gloves) over a bath sponge - both are sometimes sold at supermarkets and this means you can scrub and suds yourself with something that’s easy to hold.
