You're only supposed to shower everyday if you actually need to because of being sweaty, dirty etc.

Kids usually need to shower or bathe everyday to stay clean because kids can get really dirty but adults may not get as dirty as kids or toddlers do.

So adults can usually get by without showering everyday unless they are sweating, dirty etc.

If you smell of body odor or sweat then yes you should shower more often.

But if you don't smell are not dirty etc then you can go a few days without showering and be fine.

Showering everyday when not needed can actually be bad for your skin because it strips your skin of natural oils that keep your skin healthy and moist.

As long as you're not really dirty or grimy or sweaty then it's OK to not shower for 2 days.

If you are actually dirty, sweaty or grimy then you should shower everyday or at least shower when you're dirty or sweaty or grimy.

But if not then you can skip a day or two days of showering and be just fine.

Showering everyday can actually be bad for your skin because the showering can strip your skin of natural oils that keep your skin healthy and moist.

So if you want to skip 1 day or 2 days of showering then that's okay.

There will be sometimes when I will go 2 days to even 3 days without showering when I just don't feel like showering and I'm fine.

However I shower everyday when I'm going to work so that I make sure I feel good and smell good.
