Curiosity only.
Here in Brazil it’s very common to have several showers a day. I, for example, take two. The first is when I wake up, before I go to work, and the second is when I get home from work. I wake up at 6.30am and get home at 8pm.
edit: I said bath, but I meant shower.
0.5 showers a day
Ah yes, the classic 7 showers every other Monday.
Every 1-3 days depending on if I go to the gym, temperature outside, if I need to look nice, or if ima even bother leaving the house lol
I take one shower per day.
Every other day, but sometimes more often depending on what I’ve been up to
Do you skip days for practical reasons or is it a personal choice? I don’t understand willingly not cleaning daily tbh.
A bit of both. It dries out your skin to shower every day, and I honestly don’t feel like I need to shower every day with not-particularly-active lifestyle. Saves water and electric, as well, but not enough for that to be the reason why.
It’s not good for your hair, you can wear a haircap, but most men wouldn’t.
Isn’t that the shampoo that’s the issue? It’s possible to shower/bathe without shampoo.
Shampoo makes it worse, by far. Depending on the shampoo, you should really only use it like once or twice a week, and that’s if you like shampoo. It’s pretty much optional, hence the new “no poo” movement.
Any old water will remove the healthy sebum oils that you want protecting your hair. Depending on the type of hair, and personal factors, you should only be washing your hair a couple times a week. Basically once it starts to feel dirty or unclean, wash it, otherwise leave it alone.
Water is really good at cleaning. People don’t realize that washing your hands with water alone will kill a lot of bacteria, and remove the vast majority of dirt and grime. Obviously please don’t give up soap… especially for your hands, just trying to illustrate how effective water is at removing things, even things it’s normally not known to mix very well with (oils).
Don’t worry, I have no intention of ceasing my soap usage.
They don’t really call it “no poo”? Silliest name possibly lmao
I’m already on the “shampoo every couple/few days as needed” train, but the keeping the hair entirely dry is admittedly new to me.
Damn, you work way too much. How do you even have time to post on Lemmy?
I shower around 0.5-0.75 times/day.
The biggest problem is the time I waste on public transport. My working hours are from 9am to 6pm.
At the moment, none, because I’m not able to - having to keep myself clean with basically just a basin and soap. Usually, somewhere between 0.25 and 0.5 a day. I don’t really get particularly dirty or sweaty. If I did get particularly dirty/sweaty then I’d just shower ASAP.
I heard more than 1 a day is unhealthy
All the Brazilians I knew were shocked when they learned I only took one shower per day. Most of them claimed to take 3 per day. I just chocked it up to their being in a warmer climate.
When I was younger and much more active, I was a shower every day person. Now that I’m older, I find every other day or three to be good for my skin. I’ve always had a very ruddy complexion, but I’ve figured out that on days I don’t shower, my skin looks its best. So I try to go as long as I can before my armpits start smelling. When I first started skipping days, my scalp would get oily quick, but now my second day hair is pretty nice too (probably also thanks to going with a silicon free conditioner). Basically I just try to shower when I smell or have been sweaty.
Two at minimum, one in the morning, one at night. If I am nasty and gross from doing something, more.
Depends on the season. I will shower in the mornings and after my swim and again maybe before bed on a hot 40C January day. I might shower one in three on cold June winter holidays when I am home 24/7.
One after the gym around 8:30 a.m.; another at 11 p.m.
Since I’ve moved from a coast to a more inland city, a lot less. It sounds gross, but I’m down to once every other day. I don’t sweat as much, my clothes don’t stink as much, and I don’t feel as ‘swampy’ as I used to. Also if I shower everyday here my skin goes bananas dry.
Living in New England, United States, I shower on the three days a week that I work. On days off, I only shower if I’ve been working in the yard or something like that.
When I lived in the Caribbean, I showered at least once, often twice a day. It’s very different in the tropics lol
Twice a day in summer, every other day in winter, once a day in spring and fall
