Curiosity only.

Here in Brazil it's very common to have several showers a day. I, for example, take two. The first is when I wake up, before I go to work, and the second is when I get home from work. I wake up at 6.30am and get home at 8pm.

edit: I said bath, but I meant shower.

I'm from EU. Many years I took a shower every day, but that was bad for my skin. So I try to shower every two days now (=0.5). It's not easy, because showers feel refreshing ๐Ÿ˜…

Are you sure it's the shower that is bad for your skin? People use so much soaps and shampoos and they never think that those could be the problem.

I would reduce the use of those products if you are a heavy user. The ads have made people think they need chemicals to become clean when hot water is enough.

Yes, I am sure. If I don't use at least mild shampoo and shower gel, my hair gets greasy and my skin oily, minutes after the shower. That causes even more problems.

Ok at least you are sure, that's all I can ask. :)
