How Many Times A Week Should You Shower?

The answer may surprise you...
What about the hair though? If I don't wash my hair for a couple of days, it gets greasy.

Here’s a tip to save time in the morning - don’t shower.
A recent survey found that as many as a third of all Brits do not shower every day, but they may not be as stinky as you think.
According to one expert, showers are really only needed about twice a week.
Dr Elaine Larson, an infectious disease expert at Columbia University School of Nursing, told Time magazine that a shower a day is not necessary - at least for your skin.
“People think they are showering or to be cleaner, but bacteriologically, that’s not the case,” she said.
In fact the more showers you have may cause more problems.
You can strip your body away of essential oils and increase your chance of infection as bathing will allow germs to enter cracked skin.
Dr C Brandon Mitchell, assistant professor of dermatology at George Washington University, agreed and said two showers each week was plenty.
‘Your body is naturally a well-oiled machine. A daily shower isn’t necessary,’ he said

I don't care what stinky brits do, you need to wash your arse every day.

For the same reason of oils, you shouldn't wash your hair but only a few times a week. I exercise, so a shower is daily.

I can smell my balls in about a day and a half so that seems like a good place to draw the line.

Some people get stinkier than others.

I only need to shower every day because I'm active and work out most days. I still shower when I have a lazy day, but I don't really need to.

Same Brits surveyed said the same about brushing their teeth...
Side note... I like to shower everyday, I don't particularly like the smell of my sweaty balls after a 12 hour shift..

Some of you smelly fatasses need to be bathing twice a day.
Posted on 4/10/16 at 4:46 am to Street Hawk
frick any study that says you shouldn't shower at least once daily.
Posted on 4/10/16 at 5:52 am to Street Hawk
That's stupid. You shower at least once a day preferably twice. Anybody that says any different is full of shite

Agreed
I could see someone who works at home or in a office and doesn't break a sweat getting away with it. But myself I am taking a shower.
Posted on 4/10/16 at 6:27 am to Street Hawk
I shower about 3-4 times a week.

Can you imagine in the Old West 1800s when people bathed about once every six months and worked outside all day? Damn.

I actually don't wear deodorant that often. I think it smells more than natural BO. Especially after it loses its odor.
Natural doesnt have a smell, really. Once you get used to it.

Wow nasty Brits. You have to shower every day.
Posted on 4/10/16 at 6:45 am to Street Hawk
1x - 24 hr period if I break a sweat.
1x - 36 hr period if I do not break a sweat that day.

In our defense, when the humidity goes to 100%, and it's 95°, shite gets real.
Those Limey smelly bastards don't want no part of this shite Dewey.

It really doesn't phase them when they come here. I had to work along side a crew of Italians for about a month in a paper mill. By the end of each week, I wanted to wear a dust mask around them. They thought everything was fine.
