When people reach a certain age they don’t need to and really shouldn’t shower everyday.

Activity and glandular secretions are less after a certain age. It can really dry out the skin too.

Of course no two bodies are the same so some people may actually need to shower daily.

What do you think they did in the days before running water? Only the very rich could afford servants to bring water in by the bucket to heat up for baths.

Remember don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater? That was a real thing. Everyone used the same bucket of water to bathe out of.

I can’t imagine not showering twice a day. I like feeling clean. At what age exactly do people not need to shower every day???
