I shower once a week

Is it bad if I only shower once a week? I'm always so busy, and I don't have time to shower. My skin is a little purple under my arms and thighs. Other than that, I'm okay.
Should I start showering more often? How can I make time for it?

    There are many people who think showering once a week is nasty well guess what I do showering once a week is healthier for the essential oil in your body and allows your hair to grow better most importantly showering everyday makes your skin sick I researched this.Once a week your skin is 4.5% less sick Americans think daily is good but see no offence they are idiots I am Italian everyone does it once a week instead of Americans.

    Tiddy, you're very bad informed.
    Showering every day is not needed, in fact it's bad for your body and skin, twice a day is ridiculous.

  • Ironically, showering too often causes much more health issues than not showering. The more you shower, the less immune you are to diseases and the like.
    But honestly, you should shower more often, since once a week is just gross.

    if you have enough time to sleep , you have time for a shower before bed. no one is that busy . and if for some reason you're superman ( which i actually imagine him showering sexily after every mission ) you at least have time for a wash - up/hoe bath everyday. imo you just dont like showering.

    you really really need to shower. Not shower is really gross and you can develop many health issues. start making time for at least a 5 minute shower. Get up earlier or go to bed later.

  • Oh come on - no one is that busy! Don't you think you are just making excuses posing a 10 minute shower as a scheduling problem? Ha!

    It's actually health to let some of your bodies natural oils build up, but most of it is dead skin cells, and bacteria your body gets rid of through your pores.

    You should try showering twice a week, and slowly increase your showering to four a week, after a period of time. Gives you time, and your body to ajust.

    That "purple" coloring under your arms and thighs should go away once you start showering more.

    I hardly ever shower, as it actually does you more harm than good.

    Showering once a week is recommended. If you could, shower twice a week. That is healthiest. Of course you should wash your pits and bits every night/morning. Unless you are very active then it's best to shower everyday but if you don't do much to bring on a sweat then a shower once/twice a week is fine

    5-10 minutes showers every one to second day is better for your oudour, and use a decent antipersperant :) Listen to this- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0xDGXotGIE

    No matter how busy you are, showering is a NEED. You should change your habit, manage your time, at least give some times taking a bath. Hope you can be better :)

    at least shower every other day because the natural oils are good for your skin. fifteen minutes out of your day won't slow you down.

    Try every other day. Honestly, you're just more likely to get skin infections due to this habit if your living conditions are otherwise clean. You can develop boils, carbuncles, cysts, dermatitis, scabies, the list could go on. The discoloration around your contact areas is likely just from chafing. I would recommend showering every other day using a Dial antibacterial bar soap just to contain any bacterial skin infections that could be spread. If you start noticing increased anxiety regarding showering, see your GP doctor and let him know. There are some treatments they offer for people with showering anxiety. For now just take it a day at a time; every other day showering, Dial antibacterial bar soap, daily face/teeth/hand washing.

    I don understand why pp still vote for yes. Basically u need shower every single day, at least once a day, it would be better if u shower twice a day.
