No matter what I wash my feet and legs every night before bed. Getting into bed with dirty feet after wearing sandals out and about is so gross.

I’ve now seen three videos of dermatologists that said this video is outdated information and showering everyday is fine, can be beneficial and depends on the person and their individual needs and health.

Al is right. 2x a day especially in the summer or a hot climate zone ( sometimes 3x a day if its too humid out )

Ok, though I shower everyday/daily, I think what is missing from the message from the doctor/dermatologist speaking is that you should wash yourself in the crevices daily but as far as jumping into n the shower full body washing is their recommendation to shower 2-3 a week. Some people wrongly think they shouldn’t wash those private parts and under their arms daily. Well, you must wash up daily no matter what!! Anyone claiming that they only bathe 2x’s or once a week is really nasty and we smell you stinking ppl. Smell like funk, musty and burns my nostrils and makes me choke.

Al the only one on the panel with sense 🤣

Imagine, 2 times a week despite taking nasty sh*ts, being on your period, or if it's 106° ugh gross

[datraass]

NASTY! DAILY at a minimum, sometimes 2, sometimes 3! 🇯🇲

100%. Take care of your skin and scalp. I think the environment/weather you live in and your job or lifestyle have to be taken into consideration as well. Obviously a person working a road crew in the hot humid weather is going to have different needs, than a person taking customer service calls in Northern Alberta. Just take care of your skin, your hair and your hygiene, however often you shower.

Nope. Depend on which region in the world you are. If you are in south east asia where it is hot, humid, rainy 365 days you are going to sweat a lot and when there’s sweat there’s gonna be BO. So it is very normal for people IN South east asia to bath in the morning before they go to school or work and another in the evening.

I'm with Al. That is absolutely nasty! 2 to 3 times in a week

[EdwardRicketts]

Anyone agreeing needs to start using moisturiser, and I'm not talking about anything ladled with chemicals. Educate yourself and know your skin. In fact, you can also make your own soap and shampoo.

I have psoriasis and eczema so if I shower every day I would be miserably dry and itchy. My child has a seizure disorder which makes it hard for them to shower even 2 times and no we do not stink and no we are not dirty or gross 😂 in the summer we swim too so that probably helps 🤷‍♀️

Oil baths work wonders. I noticed people with straight hair have less concern with hygiene.

[WastingTime-diky]

Hahaahaha 3 times per week? As a Brazilian guy i could call it a crime againt the humanity.

[beautyonabarnbudget]

Ok, ive tried the 2x's per week shower only during low activity levels. It made my skin dryer and worse in every way.

[lightspeed]

Thats disgusting no way would i go to work come home and sleep and go to work the next day without a shower. Nasty horrible people teaching this 2 or 3 a week is nasty revolting and repulsive

[Musikyx]

twice to 4 times a week is the answer, let's save the planet using less water people

[brodee]

Wow all them answers are wrong it should be twice a day

[candicefarrel]

[eddyspacesurfer]
