I honestly believe this cuz I shower almost everyday, and have a bunch of skin problems, but my wife literally showers once a week, and has perfect skin.

She stinks and perpetually has b.o., but ironically, she's way healthier than I am lol.

Did you even read the article? It says you can shower, but not really hot and only scrub the "bits" regularly (underarms, groin, feet).

He's written articles saying not to shower. And he's saying you should never wash the parts that aren't your bits.

I still wash my hands, all the time, which remains an extremely important way to prevent communicable diseases.
I still rinse off elsewhere when Im visibly dirty, like after a run when I have to wash gnats off my face, because there is still the matter of society. If I have bed head, I lean into the shower and wet it down. But I dont use shampoo or body soap, and I almost never get into a shower.
At first I did smell bad, especially as I went without deodorant. I didnt quit cold turkey, but transitioned from a traditional aluminum-based stick to Soapwalla, which is just some plant oils and starches. Aluminum is the active ingredient in many deodorants, specifically because it works as an antibiotic. As annoying as it is when things that are marketed as naturalbecause, what does that meanSoapwalla works well. But Ive lately stopped that, too.

i love seeing anti-shower sentiment grow :P every once in a while, a publication puts out an article like this and it makes me happy.

His team covered one group of mice with a bacterium that is present on most human skin called Staphylococcus epidermidis; another group got a bath of a different strain of the same bacterium. Then the mice all got suntansand those coated with one type of the Staph epidermidis developed fewer skin cancers. The reason, Gallo theorized, is that this strain produces a compound called 6Nhydroxyaminopurine, which seems to prevent the replication of tumor cells.

cool! but poor mice that got the skin cancers :<

Once a week is way too little. I once read showering ever 2-3 days is what you should do

Oh you don't wanna know how little she bathed during quarantine months while working from home lol.

And i dunno, seems to be working out well enough for her. Like I said, I have acne on my back, my face breaks out every so often, I get dry skin and psoriasis and dandruff and everything, it sucks.
Meanwhile she never has any blemishes, and whenever she goes to our salon, they're like OTHER WOMEN WOULD KILL TO HAVE THESE BEACHY CURLS. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR TO GET YOUR HAIR SO PERFECT?

Honestly, I get really jealous about it sometimes lol.

I shower 1-2 times a day and have no issues.

Hair stylists often complement my hair like I do something special. Hell, the infrequent times I touch peoples hands (other than my wifes) they usually say something like, Not to sound weird but you have really soft hands...you use lotion a lot!? I use the 3-in-1 shampoo/con/bodywash stuff and thats it, I never use lotion or skin-care products.

If you're using products then its likely drawing it out; it will look worse when its actually healing your skin before it gets better.

Also bedding can also mess with your skin too if its not clean because of bacteria buildup.

Eliminate as many causes as you can find, and even what you eat.

I'm pretty sure it's hormonal cuz it's been this way since I was 14 and I'm in my 30s now. It's persisted across four different beds. I've experimented with showering twice a day, showering only a few times a week, not using soap on the areas with acne, medicated body wash, all natural body wash, Castile soap, etc etc etc...

My mother had the same problem when she was young, and my sister also has bad acne on her chest and back. I think our family is just cursed lol.

Damn that sucks; yeah if it is a hormonal imbalance there isn't much that can be done unless you take risky pills for it.

I would say keep experimenting with different products until you find something that can manage it properly; I seen that a lot of people had success with handcrafted stuff from Etsy with their skin problems.

Sounds like fat person who hates having to scrub under folds. Do you guys not work out everyday? I assume your job is mostly sitting down and not sweating which is the reason you don't feel the need to shower but that must also mean you compensate with exercising.
