Showering everyday isn't actually necessary, excluding obvious situations.

I would look up an actual academic article, but I don't care that much after being insulted. 🖖
- 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!
- Not at the top of that list are ya
  
  At least my eczema's getting better, you ass.
  
  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?
  
  That would have been awful, and I would hate to have to brush my teeth thrice!
- 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.

- Not everyday if you don't go outside, but if you go outside you need to shower before hand so you don't smell
- Okay, but how do you live like that
  
  It helps with my eczema? What do you mean?
  
  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.
  
  my skin will explode in acne if I dont take a shower every day, guess bodies are just different 🤷‍♀️
  
  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.
  
  That sounds like dysbiosis. Maybe see a dermatologist that at least understands that there is a skin microbiome.
