Shower routine?

I’ve been wondering—do you guys shower every single day? I personally love jumping in the shower, but then I remember reading somewhere that maybe it isn't the best idea to go at it daily. Something about stripping away all those beneficial bacteria on our skin... or was it something else? I can't quite recall the specifics...😁

So, look, there’s a huge difference between taking a bath and just hopping in the shower 😉

I usually do my full shower at night
then in the morning, I’m really just rinsing off a bit 😁
and, uh, during my period, I end up rinsing off maybe a few times a day

but as for an actual bath? I probably only do that once a week

Oh, for sure—I’ve been showering every single day for years now, and during the summer? I’m probably jumping in two or three times a day!
1. I just use a mild liquid soap—basically just whatever fits in my palm—and I focus on lathering up the 😉 essential spots first before spreading the rest over the
rest of my body. 2. The real key, though, is making sure you slather on some lotion right after you get out 😉
. 3. And once a week, I’ll just soak in the tub for like two hours straight 😍
.
So yeah, nothing about it is 👍
weird.

I’m also a night shower person. Every single night. I live for that ritual—showering and then just layering on all the lotions... 😍 Honestly, trying to crawl into bed without being freshly scrubbed feels absolutely disgusting.

As for swimming? Ugh, I haven't been in a pool in... well, forever.

Look, there’s a huge difference between a quick rinse and a full bath. I definitely think a daily shower is a must.
I always hit the shower at night because I can't drift off unless I feel clean... then in the morning, I'll splash some cooler water on myself to snap out of the fog. It feels amazing. 👍 You really get your blood pumping. 😍
During the summer? I might even hop in a few times a day. Just don't go overboard with heavy soaps or using way too much body wash, otherwise you'll end up with skin as dry as a desert.

Look, some people swear by showering once a day, maybe even less—any more than that and they think you're wasting water. Then you've got the health nuts claiming baths aren't even good for you... honestly, who knows anymore? They act like if you soak in the same tub twice, you’re basically inviting an infection. Personally? I don't care. Nothing beats the feeling of a steaming hot bath when it's freezing outside.😍

Honestly, I bathe more to chill out than to actually get clean. I mean, obviously bathing is healthier than just being gross and unwashed, but whatever...

Not sure if this was aimed at me or not, but if it was—newsflash: I shower every single day, obviously. I was just sharing some "expert" advice I heard on CNN. Doesn't mean I've stopped practicing basic hygiene...

I make it a point to shower every single night, without fail. I’m definitely one of those people who loves a steaming hot shower—I know, I know, everyone says lukewarm is better for you, but honestly, there's nothing like it for relaxing. It’s almost like I’m washing away all the stress and bullshit from the day, if that makes sense.
I also always make sure to clean up after sex; I use a specific intimate wash for that area, and I tend to wash more frequently during my period too.
As for baths? Never. I just can't stand that pruned, wrinkly feeling you get on your fingers.😁

Showering at night😁

I simply refuse to wash myself in the evening.😳

I’ve got a toilet...😂

I make sure to shower at least once every single day, no exceptions.
During those sweltering summer months, I’ll probably jump in twice 🙂

On top of the daily showers, I also make it a point to scrub down thoroughly maybe once or twice 😁

During the winter months—I make it a point to shower every single day, usually using quite a bit of body wash 😬
As for moisturizer afterward... honestly, I’m far too lazy to bother with any of that 😳
Regarding my hair—I wash it every other day because it’s just getting way too long (down to my mid-back now) to manage daily

On certain days, I might shower several times

In the summer—it's several times a day

Look, there’s a ton of aggressive soaps out there, which is why doctors tell you they’re bad news.
Plus, all that hot, chlorinated water just strips the moisture right out of your skin.
You really have to hunt down a mild option that actually works for your skin type. Then you're fine.

I can't go a single day without showering—usually twice, actually.

I live right by the coast, but I'm not hitting the beach unless I've showered first and feel clean
and ready.
Oh, and yeah, I never pee in the tub. Just not my thing...

It’s like you’re washing your hair and your body at the exact same time.🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Honestly, showering multiple times a day while constantly using shampoos and all those harsh chemicals just isn't a great idea for your skin...
