How often should a person shower? Daily? Every other day? Opinions?

Question

This includes washing your hair and soaping down your body in case there is a question.

Answer 1

daily works for me.At least twice a day unless I am sick.

Answer 2

It totally depends on how quickly the person manages to get dirty again lol. You just have to figure out what works for you.

Some people can get by with showering every other day if they aren't active and don't have s*x. Most people do better showering every evening or morning. (That is, if they want to stay hygienic haha.)

As for shampooing, young people tend to need to shampoo more often because their hair is more greasy. Older people have dryer hair and they probably only need to shampoo once a week. I shampoo 3-4x/week.

Soap down every time you take a shower. No point in showering if you aren't going to soap down.

Answer 3

It varies!

People who say daily are really quite silly science medical science shows that it depletes the oils in our skin and leads to all sorts of problems.

People living in extreme cold climates should never wash before going out because it removes the oils from the skin and greatly increases the chance of getting frost bite!

I live in a tropical climate and therefore sweat a lot so have to shower daily and if I play sport or work hard several times a day, but we then have to use aloe vera or other products to revitalize the skin.

Hairdressers all say that washing hair daily does it harm.

Whilst there are good modern shampoos and conditioners that can help they coat your hair with lots of chemicals.

The simple answer is that there is no one right answer.  It depends on climate, the job you do, the exercise you take and many other factors!!

Answer 4

Shower- Every third day of a year...

Answer 5

everyday, sometime twice a day,. before i go to work and one before i'm going to bed,.

Answer 6

daily! if you dont shower daily you nasty as h**l

as for washing hair, certain types of hair dry out with frequent washing, so as long as you wash it thoroughly once a week you should be good.

Answer 7

I think at least every other day.  This is different for many people.  Some can go for days comfortably, but when you start to have an offensive odor, you should increase your bathing.  As for shampooing, it depends on your hair type.  I shampoo twice a week, which is fine for me, but I "soap up" my body daily.
