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.

    Different bodies different care. I constantly ooze thick oily sweat and if I don’t shower I start getting bad acne. Also, just massive amounts of musky BO if I don’t reapply deodorant every day.

    It’s nasty but it’s just how my body do ATM. Gotta shower daily.

      it’s likely you ooze oil because you’re constantly using harsh products to scour all the oil from your skin lol, i had the same experience up until i stopped using shampoo for a month and my body finally got the memo and simply stopped spewing out grease, now it simply doesn’t get oily at all.

        Bruh i’m bald. I don’t use shampoo period. I use what’s supposed to be a healthy-skin face wash, and i just apply it by hand (no sponge or anything).

        If anything I’d guess diet is the biggest thing, but I’m climbing regularly and not eating my current protein-heavy diet leaves me hella sore and out of energy, so i don’t feel like experimenting with my diet ATM.

      So very true. I’ve found over cleaning and over applying deodorants made me “need” to more often so I’d be mindful of that also!

      Agreed. When I was younger I had very oily skin. Skipping a day without showering I realize I was much hotter and generally irritable. I needed to get the oil off me to stay cooler and happy.

      Now I’m older and much less oily. I can skip and don’t get stinky or hot. Even working out I don’t really get stinky, at least per my wife. Not the case when I was young.
