Is this gross?

Question

Is it gross to wash my body in the shower only every other day? For example wash body on Monday, then wash it again on Wednesday, then again on Friday etc? Also I only wash my hair every other wash day (example, wash hair on Monday and then wash hair again on Friday) as it is dry and doesn’t get greasy. Also I am a sedentary person so I hardly ever get sweaty.

Answer

This sounds absolutely normal, who is saying it's gross?

Answer

I only wash my body every other day. My skin is very dry, so daily washes would be miserable. I don’t work a job that requires me to bathe daily. I wash my face twice a day, my hands all day long, my body every other day, and my hair twice a week.

Answer

I have a lot of skin issues and I only shower every other day. Every day would worsen my skin issues by 10 fold. I also don't exfoliate or use loofahs/scrubbies. Just soap that doesn't cause an allergic reaction and water. Hair is every other shower. Anything more and my scalp is way too dry and flaking off in chunks. Every other wash is perfect so far.

Answer

That’s what I do. Unless there’s a circumstance where I getting dirty or sweaty then I’ll take extra showers

Answer

I have to wash my body daily or I feel gross and dont smell good. I dont necessarily have to scrub, but wash. On my period,I shower 2x daily. That doesnt mean it's universally gross if someone doesnt, I guess it depends on whether or not others can smell you.

Answer

Your body needs the oils it produces to stay hydrated naturally so I think it’s fine! The reason people that shower daily feel nasty if they miss a day is because their bodies are use to having the oils stripped from it so it will over produce them to try and compensate.
