There’s no such thing as showering too much, right? Wrong. Despite the practice that many people shower once or twice a day, we’re only meant to shower once or twice a week. As experts say, human daily showering is mainly for the love for beauty.
Speaking to TIME, Dr. Elaine Larson, an expert from
Columbia University School of Nursing argues, “People think they’re showering to keep clean, but that’s not the case. Bathing will remove smells if you have unpleasant smell on your body or you are back from the gym. But in terms of protecting you from illness, washing your hands regularly is probably adequate.” Larson’s research turns out, antibacterial soaps and cleaning products are not any better than a regular bar of soap when it comes to lowering your risk of getting diseases, so the fancy soaps you bought are probably a waste of money.
The more you bathe, the thinner and less hydrated(含水的) your skin becomes. Dry skin opens up gaps for infection(感染) and causes bacteria to slip through. Washing can also clear away your skin of its natural oils and may destroy the bacteria that support the immune(免疫的) system on your skin, according to Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell, assistant professor of dermatology at the George Washington University. Both Mitchell and Larson recommend that you shouldn’t use antibacterial soaps that are particularly bad for removing essential oils. Mitchell adds, “Your body is naturally a well-oiled machine. A daily shower isn’t necessary. The rest of your body doesn’t need much soaping.”
So, in terms of your health, you should probably only shower once or twice a week, in terms of how you look and smell might be a different story. A recent study shows that smelling bad is the biggest relationship deal-maker.
