Description Ooh this is gonna be a touchy one.

I've read over the internet on some forums about showering. Now, I think showering every other day is acceptable, especially if you don't sweat much or don't have manual labor that makes you sweat a lot, and if it's not summer I don't find it necessary to shower daily. Every other day is okay to me, but when I read these forums, a bunch of people get their panties in a bunch for people who don't shower every single day, twice a day or three even! Some of these folks say they shower 3 times or more a day.

Okay hold the phone. I can understand showering 2 times a day at most. I don't believe in doing that if it's not summer, because it's so drying to your skin. Plus you're ranking up your water bill as you waste water! But seriously? 3 fucking times a day or more? That's brutal, man. I mean if you're OCD, I don't blame you but you have way too much Time on your hands to be showering that much.

Some countries may not have the luxury of hot water, or water even, most of these people who are adamant and vehement about showering daily or more or you're a stinky homeless bum are spoiled Americans. I'm American myself and I call this an outrage. Everyone is different. Some people sweat more than others, some don't! Other countries will think you're outrageous too for needing to shower so much in the day. So think about it, you crazies.

TL;DR: Showering 5 times a day is overkill.

Now I know what OCD means. (I looked it up.)
I only have 1 shower in the evening in normal circumstances, even though I sweat like a leaky tap. I wash my hair at the same time, because it gets too oily otherwise.

You can still get by with showering once or twice a day, most appearance matters at a job. I don't see how showering more than twice a day is normal. Really, unless you are doing vigorous dirty, sweaty physical activity it's not normal. And showering 3+ times a day isn't gonna remove the germs if that's what you're worried about.

Doesn't your skin ever feel dry?

I believe they were trying to troll my opinion since no one in their right mind would shower 3 times a day without a care that of their health or water-bill, lol. I went through their activity before they deactivated and they seemed kinda contrary. It's typical of such a type to not respond.

ZincFrost [2012-12-19 18:10:31 +0000 UTC]

Same here. I shower every other day and I don't wash my hair in the shower since if I ever tried it would become dry and "poofy" and kinkier and just God forbid. I usually have it washed like once a month since I get it permed each time so it stays clean for a really long time. So I don't have to spend time washing my hair in the shower ^^.
But taking three showers a day? That's just strange...

GrappleMace [2012-09-04 18:13:15 +0000 UTC]

I get one every other day because I stay clean and my hair doesn't get greasy until it hasn't been washed for two days. It's still all nice and shit the day after I take a shower. Sure, if I was outside in the summer and I was all sticky and shit, and I already took one yesterday, OF COURSE I'm going to take another. Sometimes in the summer though I'll go a few ways without, but only if I'm not going anywhere.

Sushibeth [2011-09-04 21:40:37 +0000 UTC]

I don't understand why someone would need to take more than one shower in a day. I think that once a day is normal.

I don't like taking a shower every other day because my hair looks all gross and stuff. And if I don't wash my hair everyday with dandruff shampoo, it looks like total blagh... I also go to school and stuff, which includes marching band practice, so I feel like I need to shower every day.

I have to shower two times a day, because my skin is verrrry oily and my hair get really oily too. :\ So the drying part is needed xD

In-The-Zone In reply to OfANeonMoon [2011-05-14 08:19:16 +0000 UTC]

It's pretty much why we produce so much oil, because our skin is dry. So it overcompensates and mass produces oil. It might be a good idea to look into tea tree shampoos or other types of shampoos for oilyness. I have oily skin and oily hair too. And dandruff lol. I hate it.

You may find this interesting.

It may be because I'm from Europe, but that is crazy to me. Twice a day? How is that helping your skin? Yeah. hygiene is important but the human race was surviving long before showers came along. I don't like showering everyday cause, 1: I do not have the time and 2: It's actually really not good for you. Your skin needs the natural oils to protect it from infection. Not the other way round. It's the same for lice. They attack clean heads, not dirty ones.

In-The-Zone In reply to kabya19 [2011-05-11 05:31:27 +0000 UTC]

This this this! Yes. I shower every other day. I do because I ask if I smell the following day of showering, which I get a "No you smell okay" by the third day, I've asked, and yes I've smelled offensive. I think every other day MIGHT be doable if you change your sheets every day and pillow cases, lol. And excessive body spray and deoderant.

Your skin does need the moisture. I don't get why people think it's a load of crock that your skin can get dry.

I think it depends on what time of year it is too. I live in Scotland and It's almost never that hot. When it's hotter, the shower more, cause you sweat more.

I meant it's possibly do-able if you shower every 4 days or something but still! At least clean your pits and private areas thoroughly. XD

I find taking a shower a great way to relieve stress, so there are times during finals week and such when I do do it twice a day just to chill, but seriously...more than 3 times EVERY day? That doesn't make much sense to me.

Every other day is really good I think showering every day is okay if you're on your monthly or going to work everyday, something that definitely makes you sweat. I've heard of others showering more than 2 times a day, and that's not a very healthy thing :[

faomu In reply to In-The-Zone [2011-02-09 02:46:42 +0000 UTC]

:3 For a typical artist's lifestyle, no work, so being lazy all day won't really work up a sweat. Also, during the "monthly" I agree washing that every day is essential.

If in the showering 2 times a day you're washing your hair as thoroughly as possible, that's actually doing more damage than good.

See, in middle school, showering like every speck of dirt was out to get you was the big thing. I went along with it...only to be chewed out by my hairdresser about how it messed up my hair even more. And it was true. My hair actually produced twice the amount of grease it normally did because all of the showering was stripping my hair of its natural oils.

Just a little interesting story for ya

In-The-Zone In reply to hontokokoro [2010-04-19 18:54:19 +0000 UTC]

Yeah that's what I mean. It really is drying to your hair. People become way too obsessed with cleansing that they think they are getting rid of germs, and being cleaner than thou. But really, it's the opposite. It's so unhealthy to do that to your body. Plus, you cannot escape germs no matter what you do.

The US society today encourages to overdo the hygiene which is very counter-productive. Your hair needs a certain amount of oils to stay healthy. Yes.

Thank you!
