No. I'll will get shamed to hell and back for this, but 🤷🏼‍♀️I do not shower everyday. I shower every other day. I'm constantly taking care of two under 2. My life is a circus. Showering is a luxury that I do not have time for everyday.When I work out of the home, I do shower everyday. My hair looks very greasy if I do not shower. I feel no difference in my hair when I wash it everyday vs when I don't. Some hair types, it is "bad" to wash them everyday. It can make the hair dry AF. Also, if you're using a poor quality soap, it could lead to skin that feels more dry.

Same 😂 I was feeling ballsy and tried to shower alone. My toddler proceeded to dive headfirst over the side of the tub, full clothed. She stood up and ask to be picked up 😂 silly me.

Yes to this! I have no shame on saying I don’t shower every day either. My skin and hair get so dry, I don’t sweat very much and don’t really smell. I shower every other day, and sometimes I’ll wash my hair every 2-3 days depending. Like if I go to a concert or work out or fly on an airplane, yes I’ll take an extra shower for bacteria reasons. But if I’m just at home or going to my normal job, every other day. 👍🏼

Shower every other day. I don’t have a job where I sweat a lot of anything and don’t feel l need to shower every day. Plus my skin would get really dried out if I did I def don’t wash my hair every day.

Tbh it probably is. Or at the very least, it’s not helping our microbiomes. I have a hard time not showering every day because I’ve been socialized to feel “dirty” if I don’t, but I’ve heard they aren’t as obsessed with daily bathing in other countries. It’s really interesting to me.

Same. If I’m just hanging out at home I’ll skip a shower, but I feel obligated to shower before I go out and subject other people to my presence.

Not necessarily bad, but it strips your hair and body of natural oils which makes you produce more so your hair and skin gets greasier easier. Showering every other day is a better option.

It depends on individual skin and hair type. I’m a daily shower and it’s fine. When I was swimming every day, sometimes I’d shower twice daily, also fine. Not everyone is the same though.

Also, sometimes I do a full shampoo/conditioner treatment, sometimes just one or the other, sometimes I just water wash. It really depends on how my hair is feeling that day.
