Is it normal to feel that you have to take a shower every day?

Regardless of whether you're actually dirty or not.
I came home from work filthy yesterday, took a shower, then did nothing the rest of the day. So it's safe to assume I'm relatively clean this morning. However, I feel like I can't leave the house without taking a shower before putting on clean clothes.
Anyone else feel like this?

    Believe it or not, it's better for your skin if you DON'T shower every day (unless of course you're sweaty or dirty).

    If your a guy it's normal not to shower everyday. If your a girl you should because of your private parts and underarms. They smell easily.

    I feel the need to shower everyday too. I like to take a shower before starting my day, but also like to take one before bed too. It just makes me feel a lot better. I sleep better at night and have a better day when I showered before leaving my house for the day. I have a friend who stayed with me for three weeks. She showered one time and washed her hair in my sink one time. We work together cleaning medical buildings. I know that I sweat my ass off working and that she has to be sweating too. The sad thing is, is that the one time showered, I had to actually make her do it. Coming from a woman, how does another woman not feel the need to shower. She never showers. I just could not stand it anymore. I was so happy when she left.

    Myself personally I'm very hygienic.... Showering is something I do 1-3 times a day. Sometimes I feel stick & grimy after being outside, @ school or work, and even after cleaning. But some days I try to shower only once so my skin won't get too dry and scaly.... Then I might have to shower again, but yes it's normal.. ? Though do u sweat a lot? Or have oily skin?

    Yeah don't worry. I HAVE to shower every night before I go to bed, or I can't sleep good. Even if I take a shower in the morning, I have to take another before I go to bed.

    I think bathing/showering is a great habit regardless if you are going to the public or not.

    However if you do it more then once per day (expect you did something dirty like sweat in a gym, did a dirty job, etc) then you might have OCD to get clean.

    I feel like this too but mainly just because my hair is thin and feels greasy in the morning.
