Showering?

How often do you shower?

I never shower in the morning, just the evening after work? Usually daily too.

I'm sure this has been done to death!

It has been done to death, but it's a nice change from American politics, gender politics, race politics, UK politics, traveller bashing, dole bashing, boards bashing and unfortunately not seen as much these days Public service bashing (probably just don't have the time).

Edit: Sorry OP, forgot to answer. I tend to have baths unless it's after work, in which case shower.

Depending on training & work but for sure twice a day, some days three times.

Ficheall · 09-10-2018 7:40am

I shower about as often as this thread pops up to remind me. Keep up the good work, guys!

PirateShampoo · 09-10-2018 7:42am

Always in the evening depending on the days activitys. Never in the morning, I will never understand them freaks who will go to bed dirty and shower in the morning.

Just done a quick search, granted boards.ie has the worst search engine in the entire world, but it hasn't been done to death.

Morning. Feel groggy if I don't shower in the morning.

I never understand those freaks who go to bed clean and wake up dirty.

You are going to accumulate oil on your skin during the night, that's just a fact.

I couldn't imagine going to work having not showered for 12 hours, so weird.

As one of nature's secreters, I need to shower every day or I start to smell pretty bad. Lots of people are fine showering less often though.

Shower once if not twice a day but always in the morning. Couldn't function without a morning shower. Plus you're simply not clean in the morning no matter what state you went to bed in.

Exactly. Shower in the morning and change the bedclothes often. That's the way to go.

Once a week whether I need it or not

I missed it.. I was probably in the shower.

I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Did anyone ever tell you you're a fucking psycho?

I like to dissect girls. Did you know I'm utterly insane?

Do you go to work after that?

Whats your opinion on Huey Lewis?.. Personally I thought their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83...

You can't wash away the feeling of shame.

Annasopra · 09-10-2018 8:18am

Excessive showering damages your skin and is unhealthy.

Its advised by a lot of health professionals 2-3 times a week roughly is best.

Three times a day is too much. Once per day can be bad if the water is too hot and if you spend a long time in it.

Edward M · 09-10-2018 8:20am

Every night before bed, then I just jump in again in the morning and give myself a quick rinse as soon as I get out of bed, no gel or shampoo in the morning.

[Deleted User] · 09-10-2018 8:23am

Once a day, usually in the morning. I don't think it really matters if you shower in the morning or evening as long as you wash once a day and wear clean clothes, change bedsheets regularly, etc.

Personally, I do a good bit of what you might call dirty work, general home maintenance and building, I get dusty and dirty most days, I need a shower I think.

I'm the same, plus I'm training a lot then coaching Judo/BJJ. I wouldn't be overly popular if I was only showering 2 or 3 times per week.

Yuk

And by the time you finished, it's time for bed again, right?

I have to shower in the morning because I sweat through the night. I'll also have a shower most evenings.

I've exactly the same routine, except that I do none of that

CruelCoin · 09-10-2018 9:02am

I shower when I need to shower.

If I'm after a lot of physical exercise then it will be after that.

If I've sat in the office all day and done nothing, then it may be 2/3 times a week.

judestynes · 09-10-2018 9:05am

every morning, maybe when I get home in the evening too depending on what sort of day it's been.

Showering?
