Should You Shower Every Day?

Are There Reasons To Shower Every Day?

If you are an athlete, a professional worker or spend time outdoors in hot weather then showering daily might be the best option for you. Every day, your skin is trying to do its job. It needs water and oils from the outside environment in order to have healthy cells that work together as one living entity. So when washing up after exercising or spending time outdoors during hot weather be sure not skip out on taking care of yourself by showering daily. Doing so can make a huge difference with protecting against problems such as acne breakouts, eczema outbreaks etcetera .

What Can You Do To Make Up For Not Showering Every Day?

On days when you don’t take a shower after work or during your morning routine there are other things you can do to stay fresh:

Wearing clean clothes every day will help eliminate odors caused by sweat and bacteria on clothes. It will also prevent them from mingling with any fragrances already present.
Using deodorant sprays as well as powders like arrowroot powder under arms can help reduce wetness while keeping you smelling fresh.
Keeping hands moisturized helps reduce odors that come from dehydrated hands, and regular hand washing. Washing with warm water and soap goes a long way.
You can also apply a mask of bentonite clay and activated charcoal to your face for 15 minutes once or twice a week. This will pull toxins from the skin as well as any odors that might be trapped within, revealing fresh new skin afterwards.
Lemon juice can also be applied directly to the armpits if you want to go “au natural”. The acidity of the lemon juice can help reduce sweat production, and kills some odor causing bacteria.

Conclusion

There are many variables that go into determining how often you should shower. Such as your skin type, body chemistry and lifestyle. If possible try washing just once or twice per week to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals. You need to give oils a chance to do their job! If this doesn’t work for you then consider switching up the products you use on sensitive areas like your armpits or groin. If they remain exposed for long periods of time without protection they could become irritated. Wearing clean clothes every day will help eliminate odors caused by sweat and bacteria. Using deodorant sprays/powders can keep you smelling fresh even when it’s too hot outside (or in) for regular showers!
