It doesn't feel right doing everything I want to do until after I shower, even when the weather is cold. It's partially mental.

I think it depends on how frequently people get close enough to smell you. A man that hadn't showered for weeks got into my car once; it really was unpleasant. Like cottage cheese that had been left in the sun for days.
I consider said man a friend so it was difficult to find the moment to tell him that but he needed to be told.

with regard to the bacteria, my (little) understanding is that it various from person to person. one person might get a lot of inflammation from bacteria colonizing their pores and another person might get almost none. same bacteria in both cases, just a different response to the infection based on genetics, I guess.
if you dont have any skin conditions just shower as often as you need to in order to avoid social ostracism, or as often as you want to, you know.
if you do, see a dermatologist and figure out exactly what you have going on and how to treat it. acne isn't just one thing, there's a shitloads of different kinds of pimples and cysts and such that have different causes and treatments. you can save yourself a lot of time and trouble but just getting the real diagnosis and figuring out what your options are

This. Really depends on your activity level and how much u sweat during the day. I dont shower everyday but i do almost every other day. At a certain point, my whole body becomes itchy and gross. Conserve water but also keep up on your body hygiene

I agree(in a way lol). Active, fit people should shower less, especially if they're sexy. Young, high testosterone males in particular smell amazing when they go unshowered for a few days. Pheromones FTW!! Heavy and older people should shower more since they do'nt smell as good. Yes I know, only my fetishistic opinion. Oh well, if y'all do'nt like it you can suck my stinky cock! LOL

I heard somewhere Brazilians shower twice a day on avarage. Madness but if I lived in a humid jungle I may sing a different tune. Every other day is typically more than enough usually. Hair gets washed every other shower cause it's a nightmare to brush when it gets wet.

Yeah man, I live in the jungle in the tropics and shower twice a day during the wet season but only once in the dry. I don't fuck around in there for 20 minutes or anything like that though. 1 minute or so only. Get in, wash, get out.
If I don't wash the sweat and salt off during the wet I can get fungus and shit growing on my skin. Particularly pityriasis versicolor.

That's really mild, nice range of temps.
It's 85 here and pissing rain now, literally hasn't stopped raining for days. When it does the temp will jump up to 95 and the humidity will soar. Sauna time. 
Coldest part of winter we see morning temps of about 50f for a week or two, then it jumps back to high 60s and starts getting warmer. Much of the winter is warm and stunningly beautiful, and dry. By the end of the dry it's 100+ for days on end and just fucking oppressive. Then comes the rain. Average rainfall here is 13ft a year. Good place to be a frog.

When I was homeless living in a tent I went weeks without showering. People could smell me but I really didn't care I'm not gonna wash up in a sink in the winter. I'm struggling to stay warm.
I probably smelled like debauchery

If you shower daily, only use soap every once in so many days to, indeed, not destroy your skin biotope, natural greasiness, pH etc.
Too much soap is damaging.
On facebook I once got kicked out of a group when I made the observation: "theres two kinds of people in this group, people who shower 3x a day and those who shower 3x a year."
Obviously, too much or too little isnt good 
You shouldnt have to extensively use skin care products because you shower like you got OCD.

Pro tip if you're homeless and can't wash your clothes regularly. Buy that febreeze unstoppables fabric spray. Its a black bottle with a green blue top. Smells will nderful and will get rid of the funk. I'm actually using it now as a body spray.

There's also a big difference between washing your body with soap etc., and just jumping in and literally rinsing the sweat off your body so you're not sticking to yourself. I have long hair and I don't wash it every single shower, let alone get it wet every shower that would be insane lol. Summer time I keep it usually wet and tied back/neat.
I'm all in favor of the quick rinse whenever it's needed, especially if it's just a cold blast.

Soaps definitely kill off your microbiome. If smell is your concern you can just do quick army showers. Soap only pits/crotch/ass basically. Soaps also mess with your skins protective oils, can cause breakouts, etc. If you don't soap your entire body your overall microbiome will spread back across and recover/stay healthy easier.
Obviously this needs to be adjusted for people who work in dirty environments, healthcare, etc. If you work on cars and get oil and grease all over your arms, soap yer damn arms. Hands should be washed often regardless.
If you do full body soap and shower every day / multiple times a day, your skin will start to overcompensate with oil production so the one day you miss a shower you will feel extra gross. Keeping a decent schedule is just as important.

I hope none of us will ever need that hardcore advice out on the streets, but if your skin can handle it i bet its an awesome scent.
Thanks for that, really.
I use domething way different than just about anybody I know too, I use Dudu Osun, which is a big Nigerian brand of the traditional "Black Soap", ie all natural soap containing ashes hence its black color.
The stuff consists of nothing but all natural ingredients you would pay through the nose for in western cosmetics, at a ridiculously low price if you buy it where African immigrants buy it.
Its great for people with acne, some eczemas, psoriasis etc, a ton of skin conditions, but also for regular skin of course.
Quote:
Ingredients: Pure honey, Shea butter, Osun (Camwood), Palm kernel Oil, Cocoa pod ash, palm bunch ash, Aloe Vera, Lime Juice, Lemon Juice, Water and Fragrance.
So, you have a traditional product thats upgraded to industry standards, important considering soap can be too alkaline.

I showered daily and shaved my face every other day when I was going into the office up until Friday the 13th of 2020* (a day to live in infamy). Now, working from home, I shower every other day and some times every 3rd day, I shave once a week. Some days i stay in pajama bottoms all day, in summer i wear short pants only. Slippers or sandals on my feet. Fuck it, i kinda like my funk.

I do a hot then cold rise after my daily workouts (no soap), just to get the sweat off. That way, I always smell 'like myself'. Once a week I'll use soap and shampoo. My skin feels/looks pretty good and healthy.
Seems like a lot of people here agree that too much soap is bad.

Oh that Dudu Osun stuff EXFOLIATES, I should add, it strips your outer dead skin layer off. I've never looked whiter than immadiately after a Dudu Osun rub, I think the exfoliation and some peripheral vasoconstriction, shortly thereafter I pink up as the blood vessels dilate again.
But despite being morbidly obese, I can see my deeper leg veins clearly after a Dudu Osun rub, its uncanny.

Interesting. You use deodorant?
I do not wash my hair. Probably once every few months, if I get dirt and shit in it. Showering however.. I shower twice nearly every day. I got that Sicilian skin so my skin is oily as fuck just waking up in the morning after sleeping.

Yeah man, I use deodorant, it's good to smell good. I'm not super extreme, but since I've been doing this (for years), I don't get smelly at all. I think the sweating part is as important as the rinsing part. Sound body, sound mind. I wash the hair a bit more frequently than you maybe every week or two, but it seems to not be a bad thing to let it get a bit 'greasy'. Easier to style, and the hair likes it. I think it depends on your heritage as well. Being of European descent, I feel like my hair was evolved to repel water... like a golden retriever lol.

As others said, depends a lot on your activity level and how much you sweat. If I'm working out on a given day, then definitely a shower is needed. If I'm not working out at all and just going to and from my job, then a shower every 3 days or so seems to be enough

I shower daily pretty much. maybe some times i will skip a shower on my day off if I dont leave the house at all. this week I showered every single day though. but I only use shampoo two or three times a week because my hair gets dry if I wash the oil out too often.
I use soap on the rest of my body every shower though.

Bruh. The medieval dark ages everyone thought it was safer to leave a layer of grunge all over their bodies cuz it was like a protectant layer that repelled disease.
Then everyone started getting sick.
Please shower at least once a week lolz

Yeah dude the hair loves the lack of shampoo. It takes a few weeks but it balances out and then the light layer of oil works better than any other gel or anything... and it's natural(and no it doesn't look oily)! lolol
There was a period I was working night shift I wasn't using deodorant because night shift is frequently a cakewalk(and most importantly I work in a hospital in AC).
Definitely depends on your heritage. If I don't shower for over 18 hours you can literally see my skin glisten with greasyness.

Not really. But you should still shower. But I found this with my first Google search:
http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2019/08/did-people-in-medieval-times-really-not-bathe/
β Moving back to bathing, at least during medieval times, some medical professionals did advise against doing it excessivelyβ

If you want to make sure people social distance from you, not showering for a few months might do the trick . Think of it as a force field.
But concerning OP's post, I think everyday is not necessary but more like every few days depending on how active one is and also whether it's Summer or not too.

I mean if your doing sterile work itβs gonna help. But if you donβt stink and are fine with not showering then I guess you really donβt have too? Me personally I need to shower everyday atleast.

I've gone through periods over the last few years of gnarly, off-grid Alaska living where it gets too cold inside to "bathe/shower " (or my primitive version of it) and when I don't, I notice I feel like I smell: bad. I firmly believe an overabundance of microbes is not a helpful thing. It's beyond my ability to properly describe, but the difference between no bathing and bathing regularly transcends cleanliness.

It's not about bacteria with skin, it's about oils. The skin is basically sort of made out of oils. You want oils on the surface. You are actually not supposed to take a shower everyday because you wash off the beneficial oils. Every other day is better. It gives your skin a chance to get that oil layer on again. I shower either every 2 days or every other day or maybe if I'm super lazy I Will Wait 3 days but usually 1 to 2 days in between. My grandma told me that in her days in the 30s her and all of her brothers would use the same bath water and take a bath once a week. She said that's all anybody ever needed to bathe. She says nowadays she thinks it's the pollution as to why everyone now wants to take a shower every single day. I think I can attest to that because when I was living in Los Angeles county I had to take a shower every fucking day it was nasty. But then when I moved out of the county I only needed to bathe once every two to three days. your diet play is a really important part also in the way your skin feels and how dirty and toxic your sweat is. if you eat a really shitty diet you'll probably need to bathe every day but if you eat super healthy and unprocessed then you could probably get away with going more days between bathing. I hope there's no typos in this, I'm using voice to text.

I love black soap but I don't use any branded one. I just buy a pre-made one from ebay. I got 5 lb for $17. That's enough to last me about 4 to 5 years. It is the only soap I can use all year round without getting dry skin.

Sorry for the multiple posts, if you want to use really good product you should switch to either dog or horse products. A lot of people use horse shampoo. I use redken pure shampoo and conditioner and for my face wash I actually use a dog blueberry facial cleanser. the brand tropiclean makes some really good dog products that you should look into using on yourself. Most of the products for dogs don't have any chemicals in them. Sodium lauryl sulfate and any of the Lauryl chemicals are really bad.

Dissociatives as a class are some of the most impressive pharmaceuticals to ever emerge. If you take all dissociatives into account, from magnesium ion to memantine to ketamine, the list of things it treats is startling.
Theyre working on drugs to have the benefits of disociatives without the potent psychoactive trip, but it seems like with opioids for pain, ibogaine for drug withdrawal and psilocybin for cluster headaches that the entheogenic intoxication is crucial for the drugs main effects.
Mild use of anabolic steroids strengthened my tissues and gained me muscle that never wore off years after I quit taking them. I still have a by far reduced incidence to injury and much thicker biceps muscles. Likewise, dissociatives took away mybody dysmorphia for being fat, my social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, my fears of insanity and death -- and this stayed with me too over a year since last use. it turned a couch potato into someone swimming for hours 2-3x a week (except for this damn epidemic)

I've noticed this big time
when I was overweight and eating like shit and drinking 2 liters of soda every day, I had excessively oily skin and lots of acne
after years of clean years and maintaining a healthy body composition my skin looks healthier and arguably more youthful at 31 than it has since right before I hit puberty- from my perhaps excessively wishful point of view
i shower at least once a day though. i recently started using a sugar scrub my gf gifted me for christmas to try and address some mild to moderate folliculitis on my chest and back and that shit is working like a charm, i cant believe I didnt try it sooner

If you take plenty of omega 3 your skin will become super soft also. And keep your water intake up.

I heard that there was a period of time in Steve Job's life where he barely ever bathed and I guess he said that he could get away with it because he ate like all organic and super crazy fucking healthy and I guess he would go long periods without needing to bathe. You could probably learn more about it on a search engine but this is just what I recall.
