The point is to take care of your hygiene, if showering less is enough for you that's great

“Not strictly necessary”, please stop you’ll sweep me off my feet!

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago

Not at the top of that list are ya

At least my eczema's getting better, you ass.

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

Ass eczema must be miserable

While you're right, it's missing the forest for the trees. It's just quippy way of saying "takes care of one's hygiene"

But yes, it's mostly a common myth that you have to shower every day, ideally do what feels right/works for you to have a good hygiene

My armpits would like a word.

Good thing they don't have a mouth, could you imagine morning breath in addition to whatever they've got going on?

[-] uranibaba@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That would have been awful, and I would hate to have to brush my teeth thrice!

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Okay, but how do you live like that

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 25 points 2 years ago

It helps with my eczema? What do you mean?

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 28 points 2 years ago

I have hypohydrosis & super sensitive skin. People in here don't know shit about skincare or hygiene, apparently. Ironic. Lol so don't take it too personal.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

my skin will explode in acne if I dont take a shower every day, guess bodies are just different 🤷‍♀️

[-] uranibaba@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

My partner gets super dry skin and cant shower everyday during winter. I shower daily, as in enough water to use soap where I smell and rinse after.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

That sounds like dysbiosis. Maybe see a dermatologist that at least understands that there is a skin microbiome.

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah I think there's a difference between having a smell and smelling bad. I've been told many times that I have a smell(musk) and that it's different from when I smell bad. A female friend of mine has borrowed clothes and protective equipment from me. Rain jacket: smells like me, kneepads: smell really bad.

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Not everyday if you don't go outside, but if you go outside you need to shower before hand so you don't smell
