How often?

I've heard so many different answers to this. Some that we should be showering twice a day and other answers that say it isn't good to shower every day because we get rid of oils and stuff that we actually need.

I massively prefer baths and have them regularly so fairly sure I don't smell. About every other day. Hair washing is more of a problem as I really don't like showers very much. Probably only once a week. It seems to survive fine so don't know whether it's actually an issue.

Once a week normally.

 Hands get washed often as I work outside with earth. Construction work is always messy. The only time I vary my once a week shower is if my work makes me dirtier than normal, dust, mud, wet concrete, or even smells that reside in places I work.

 Considering I work in erm,,,,,smelly places I very very rarely get any illness, I am not a clean person by nature, If I think I smell I wash, I have told my colleagues to just tell me if I smell to bad as sharing three to a van is a close thing.

Also will make the effort if meeting say someone in an office or doctors appointment.

 I have been known to go many weeks without showering, 

I am an earthy person, human odour does not offend me if it is natural in nature. 

I have major sensory issues with showering, I would prefer a bath as I can control it more, water temperature mainly. 

I do not judge people by the way they smell naturally . Some clean people wear far to much deodorant that hurts my nostrils and gives me intense headaches. 

Research has shown over  using antibacterial products in the home delays young people’s immune systems, they are not able to learn to fight off disease, when there body finally comes into contact with one later in life the body has no learnt defence mechanisms.

Kids need to play with mud, get back to nature, the body needs to learn to defend against infection.
