UNLESS you work a blue collar job, or any other job that requires you to be outside the whole time, I don’t see the point in showering every day. Especially if you work from home or in a building with AC. It seems excessive and is also a waste of water. But do what you want lmao.

Washing your hair every day is excessive, but showering? Dunno about you but I exercise daily and I take a shower after because I am sweaty.
I envy your lack of oily hair.
I forgot about exercising, that would also make sense.

Never change, Lemmy
People also commute on foot, by bike, public transit, etc. which means they should absolutely rinse at the bare minimum.

Speak for yourself. I shower every morning just to get my hairstyle back. I always look like I’ve been zapped with 10.000 Volts when I wake up and nothing else aside from warm water and shampoo helps. And I don’t even have long hair.
Yo! Fair! Different hair types need different care.
Washing everyday can be excessive. rinsing everyday is good.
My daughter is 18 and doesn’t need to shower every day. She has no discernable body odour that I know of and she hardly sweats.
I’ll be smelly by 4pm having had a shower at 7am. Deodorant can only do so much. I work from home at a desk.
Everyone is different.
Eh, at least rinse off. TMI, but I personally enjoy having my intimate areas touched, and I find washing them helps me get where I want to go.
Maybe no need to vigorously scrub your body from head to toe every morning, but there is an advantage to at least rinsing the stink off of yourself every day.
For me, agreed. I live in a desert, work a sedentary job, and spend the vast majority of my time freezing in the ac because I’m not warm unless it’s like 76 degrees. My skin is happier if I skip a day and I try to save water whenever possible. But for other people, they know their stink levels better than me, and I’m not gonna tell anybody else how to wash themselves. Unless they’re like my ex, taking 2 or 3 showers a day for literally no reason and running up the water bill in, again, a damn desert. I did tell him to knock that off.
Every human body is different. Some people need a shower twice a day. Some people have natural perfume.
If you are concerned about it being a waste of water, then you can campaign to make society treat it as a valuable resource and not a “free swimming pool for everybody” type deal. Cause for a lot of those cases you point out, people are just using it like it’s priced dirt low.
Gross. Have an upvote.
I like having a shower. It’s nice.
Depends on where you live and what you do, right? If I don’t sweat, smell or got dirty somehow, I shower every second day. I don’t need to shower every day if I just hang out at home and game and sleep the whole day lol
Ever heard of exercise, OP?
You should sweat every day, either via labor or exercise. (Obv not always intense exercise)
I live in Wyoming. In the winter I bathe once or twice a week simply because it is so cold and dry that I don’t sweat. If I bathe too much my skin will dry and crack in the cold dry air, which is not pleasant. Notice, I said bathe instead of shower. That’s because if I am going to skip a few days, I need to make sure that I properly scrub off the dead skin. Dead dry skin can also lead to painful cracked skin. Wyoming winters don’t fuck around.
In the summer it can get very dusty so skipping a shower is a rare thing. Hell, sometimes I have to wash the dust off my face multiple times a day.
EDIT: Grammar fixes
At home it’s just part of my wake up routine to take a shower. I do it in the morning.
On holidays, like cycling holidays i may end up not taking a shower for a week even though i’ll be sweating my ass off every day. I don’t feel like i smell terrible then, and i have not gotten the vibe ever that somebody else thought i did. I use deo though and do some ‘cat wash’.
Depends on weather. In summer I usually shower at least once a day. Peak heat wave it was 4 times because I just could’t function like that. Winter… depends, but often it’s every other day, depending how I feel.
If I don’t my eczema gets extra bad, unfortunately.
