Should You Shower Everyday?

Should you take a shower every day?

Well, that depends. Are you training for the “Who Smells the Worst in the Office” competition?

Daily showers can strip your skin of natural oils, leaving you dry and itchy—just what you needed, another reason to scratch your head at work.

Dermatologists suggest that unless you’re an Olympic gymnast sweating buckets, you might not need to lather up daily.

Maybe you just relish in the joy of watching your water bill skyrocket? Fine, go ahead.

Sure, if you’ve rolled in mud or worked out so hard you could marinate a steak with your sweat, then please, shower.

For the average mortal not engaging in mud wrestling? A few times a week might be just fine. Your social circle, and probably your skin, might thank you.
