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

It honestly depends how active you are/how much you sweat, IMHO.

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.

I shower twice a day.. but... In the mornings I only freshen up. Wash feets, balls, pits, butts, and mouths.
At night is when I take an actual shower.

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.
