showering daily is fine, and necessary for a lot of people

[–] chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly; if you're scrubbing every inch with lye every day it's not great, but using a relatively gentle soap and cleaning your pits, tits and bits is perfectly fine and helps you maintain some semblance of a social life.

Showering every day is not good for your skin and very likely not necessary if you're not doing physical labour. Washing yourself is a different story.

I cycle to and from work -- if I don't shower, that's not hugely kind to my colleagues!

if you're not doing physical labour

Believe it or not everyone has a smell and for some it can be quite strong without physical labor.

Not to mention weather can play a big factor as well.

Or due to allergies during allergy season.

There's many reasons to shower everyday.

And I'm not sure what you mean by making a difference between showering and washing. They're interchangeable terms given the context.
