You really shouldn't shower more than 2 times per day unless you're really dirty and need to shower off to clean off the dirt and grime.

Showering more than 2 times per day can cause your skin to dry out because of the loss of oils that are essential to your skin.

I shower at most 2 times per day to stay clean because I shower once before work in the morning and then again at night before bed.

I will however shower again throughout the day if I really need to.

Showering 3 times per day can actually strip your skin of natural oils which helps to keep your skin moisturized.

However some people do need to shower more than 2 times per day depending on how dirty they get but use a moisturizing soap if you have to shower more than 2 times per day.

Otherwise showering only 2 times per day is more than enough times to shower to keep clean.
