I shower everyday but only wash my face, armpits, crotch and butt, and maybe scrub my scalp with my fingers and the hot water, so it's only like a 2-5 minute shower. Then I take a bath on the weekends to wash everything and shampoo my hair. IIN
It's completely normal and probably healthier. Our society saturates itself with fragrance and thinks that makes it clean.
It all depends on how sweaty you get during your daily routine, how much actual filth you accumulate on your skin and hair and how pungent your natural body odour is. How often you change your clothing is also an important factor, since clothing is an ideal environment for the growth of the bacteria that actually create the BO odour.
I think way too many people have been sold on the idea that anything less than at least one daily shower involving lots of suds and scrubbing will result in them being so smelly that anyone standing near them will want to barf. For most people, that's simply not true, but it is the case that constantly stripping natural oils from your skin does you no good at all and can lead to skin problems.
I only shower once a week but in the summer i make sure the privates are extra clean.
Hopefully I don't happen to walk pass by close to you or worse, having an undodgeable stranger conversation with you in real life.
As long as you wash the dirtier bits, I dont see a problem. I used to shower and wash my hair twice a day. Blah to that. Now I shower between 5 to 9 or so times a week and only wash my hair once a week or 2. I'm not a filthy mess of stinkiness so I'm good.
