Taking a shower every day is excessive.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Different bodies different care. I constantly ooze thick oily sweat and if I don't shower I start getting bad acne. Also, just massive amounts of musky BO if I don't reapply deodorant every day.
It's nasty but it's just how my body do ATM. Gotta shower daily.
it's likely you ooze oil because you're constantly using harsh products to scour all the oil from your skin lol, i had the same experience up until i stopped using shampoo for a month and my body finally got the memo and simply stopped spewing out grease, now it simply doesn't get oily at all.
Bruh i'm bald. I don't use shampoo period. I use what's supposed to be a healthy-skin face wash, and i just apply it by hand (no sponge or anything).
If anything I'd guess diet is the biggest thing, but I'm climbing regularly and not eating my current protein-heavy diet leaves me hella sore and out of energy, so i don't feel like experimenting with my diet ATM.
Agreed. When I was younger I had very oily skin. Skipping a day without showering I realize I was much hotter and generally irritable. I needed to get the oil off me to stay cooler and happy.
Now I'm older and much less oily. I can skip and don't get stinky or hot. Even working out I don't really get stinky, at least per my wife. Not the case when I was young.
So very true. I’ve found over cleaning and over applying deodorants made me “need” to more often so I’d be mindful of that also!
