I know I will do better. I do wear deodorant.

i've found every 2 days for me unless i do something to get sweaty/dirty or have an event or something
every day tends to mess with my skin

You shouldn't wash your hair every time you shower anyway. I shower 2-3 times per week but only wash my hair once per week. Any more and it gets too dry and lifeless. I just rinse it well on days I don't wash it.

I noticed the exact same thing with my skin.

Same.

I really do think our skin microbiome (it's not just in our gut!) tends to find a good balance if given the chance to do so. People who shower every day or more have a skin biome that is used to getting purged on the regular and will start getting out of control as soon that rhythm is broken, which makes the person stink. Then that person thinks that's just a straight fact "if people don't shower often, they stink!" But as usual, it's more complicated than that.

@SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net, don't let anyone tell you you're "nasty" for not showering more often, you just have a healthier skin microbiome than they do.

yes in the summer I do shower more often due to the heat, but in the colder months it's about once a week. I guess my skin is pretty soft? What little hair I have left on my head is soft too, I guess.
