Do you wash?

I shower twice a day.

I wash my face with a mild cleansing product in one of those showers (usually night). Every now and then I use an exfoliate scrub (once a week).

I try to brush my teeth twice a day. I do this by keeping the toothbrush in the shower. As I find it annoying to brush my teeth usually. I get bored standing there. Where as in the shower I am exactly where I want to be, so I brush for ages.
 
I shower almost daily. Sometimes I don't on Sundays.
I have intentions to wash my face/moisturize and brush/floss/rinse my teeth nightly. Sometimes I don't. I'll do it in the morning.
I have learned I must do this routine before I get stoned at night.
 
Shower and wash hair 1 time per day in winter / twice day in summer.

My wife won't let me get in bed if I don't take a shower daily. You guys who skip showers must not be married.
 
i never wash my face its a scary feeling but i do wash my hands tons of times in a day with both normal soap and antibacterial and i also wash my hands with iodine before washing with normal soap (that shit smells awful)

Do you wash your hands so much due to your occupation or just because? If you just like to keep your hands clean, regular soap goes a long way. It doesnt have to be antibacterial to get rid of microbes. in fact, when a person washes his hands most of the bacteria that are removed are removed by physical rather than chemical action.



personally...i shower about 5x a week. I wash my face 1-2x a day. I generally shower only when I am actually dirty, so if ive been physically inactive/not sweating and simply sitting in class or at home I probably will skip a day and just wash my face instead.
 
damn, i shower every day no matter what.

i also wash my face and hands at least 4-5 times a day.
 
Some interesting articles here and here about bacteria in the skin (and body).

My change your mind about anti-bacterial soap and all.

I'm a fan of physical cleaning-- scrubbing well with a brush!
 
I shower daily early in the morning. Use exfoliating face wash followed with toner and moisturizer on my face as my skin is dry and at night I follow the same routine except that instead of using moisturizer I use night cream.
 
I wash my face with a philosophy face wash in the morning and at night and then I tone and moisturise with a simple toner and moisturiser.
I have a shower in the mornings and usually a bath at night :)
 
I shower when I feel I need to shower...usually twice a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I wash my face in the morning and at night with a natural soap, and when I'm feeling really dirty, I use steel wool! If you're bleeding, that means you're clean.

Some of you folks shower a ridiculous amount. Did you know that it's actually good for your body to retain some of it's natural oils?
 
I shower twice a day. In the morning, I wash my hair (every other day), shave (3 times a week), wash face and body. At night I was my face and bod again.
 
I almost never shower, and I only wash my face when I shower. If my lady tells me I smell uber raunchy, then I shower, or if i actually feel dirty. Otherwise, i don't like to waste the water.
 
do you people realize how many nasty chemicals are in all these cleaning products? (not so much for yourself, but for the rivers, lakes and oceans of the earth)

where do they end uP/?


anyway, i shower a few times a week... though if i have a day when i get really dirty i'll shower... I have turned the hot water system off for sumer (I live in the tropics)

..and use a natural soap, but don't wash my hair with (whaddya call that stuff?) 'hair cleaner' .... i just give it a scrub

I've never had a woman say i was too smelly for cuddles... and i LOVE when I can smell a girls natural odur, as opposed to some suffocating chemicals spray on deoderant



but if it makes you feel good (and i know for women especially it does) then go for it ...

i just feel we are basically dumping all these chemicals in our aquatic eco-systems

:D
 
I shower about every other day, sometimes every two days. Basically if I feel sweaty or raunchy (usually after working out, which is also every other day), I shower. The hair gets shampooed every other time I shower. The face gets washed maybe once a day, before bed. I'm not at all strict about any of this because my skin and hair are in good shape and no one has ever complained to me about how I smell (quite the opposite :)).

I'm pretty surprised at how often some of you shower. Excessive much?
 
I shower every day. It helps wake me up in the mornings for work, i find. I wash my face every day with a soapless gel cleanser by Avene, and body with normal soap, and i exfoliate using exfoliating gloves and a body scrub once to twice a week.
