I shower once a week. Here’s why you should too

[barryqwalsh]

The daily bath or shower, then, is terrible for the environment and our bank balances. That’s one reason I have reverted to a weekly shower, with a daily sink-wash that includes my underarms and privates. But there are health consequences too. I first became aware of these when I was a touring ballet dancer and met a friend whose skin had been severely damaged by excessive use of soap products. He was condemned to treat himself with medical creams for the rest of his life

Was that you I was standing next to on the trolley last Friday?

Oh yes.......

I shower almost every day but I find that soap and shampoo are unnecessary

A rough washcloth is all that's needed to scrub the skin clean
And I just use my fingers to vigorously scrub my scalp

5 Benefits of Showering Less

Better for Your Skin (And Overall Health)

I’ve read from a number of specialists that showering less often is better for your skin. There are a number of factors involved.

First, there’s the matter of bacteria. Just like we’re learning more and more about good bacteria in our intestinal tracts, we’re discovering the benefits of good bacteria on our skin. John Oxford, Professor of Virology at Queen Mary’s School of Medicine and Dentistry, argues that “A vigorous daily shower would disturb the natural bug flora of the skin as well as skin oils.” (source). As University of California dermatology chief Dr. Richard Gallo explains, “Good bacteria are educating your own skin cells to make your own antibiotics . . . They produce their own antibiotics that kills off bad bacteria” (source). In other words, if you get rid of the good bacteria, you interfere with one of your body’s simplest defenses against germs.
