Showers and baths every day?

chiclet — Fri, 17 May 2019 16:09:09 GMT

Watching the talk yesterday, the subject of daily showers came up and Guest host Vanessa Marcil said she does not shower every day and her boyfriend complained to their therapist about it. She said she does not want to get her hair wet and have to redo it. I am retired and usually only take one shower a day but when I worked, I took one before work and one before bedtime. With oily face and scalp always have washed hair everyday. I am just curious if most people shower or bathe every day.

Only take a shower daily and sometimes twice in a day during the summer when it's hot and humid. During the winter every other day. My skin gets too dry if taken everyday. Never take a bath.

Apparently, Vanessa has never heard of shower caps! And, if she took a bath, she wouldn't even need a shower cap.

But the fact that she and her boyfriend are both in therapy ... one can only guess ....

My morning bubble bath is fantastic! I give myself 1/2 hr to soak in the hot soapy water, and shampoo everyday.

Absolutely. I have very naturally curly hair and when I have it straightened at the salon, I like to wear it like that for 2 days. I cannot NOT shower, so on that day, I put my hair in a shower cap and shower as usual. There are ways to protect a hair style and still get your body clean.

I'm not a bath person but I do take a shower each night. That's my favorite part of the evening. I take a shower then do my face cleansing and teeth brushing routine and then settle down to watch TV.

I wouldn't feel comfortable getting into bed without showering. That said, I have known people who say they don't shower every day. If they haven't done much that day they don't feel the need. Some feel that it dries out your skin.

You know I think this is a perfect example of TMI. Why would she even share this? It seems like some of these people think they are important enough that we would want to know that they don't bathe daily.

I take a shower every morning and sometimes in the summer I will take a quick shower in the evening. My hair is very dry so I don't wash it every day. I do wash it about three times a week. I never take baths.

It depends on a person's body and their daily activities. Some people perspire much more than others. Some people do physical labor or have jobs that get them dirty or grimy. Others sit in an air conditioned office all day. It's another thing in which there is no
"one size fits all" rule. If you get sweaty, dirty or stinky during the day, you know you have to shower daily or maybe even twice a day. If you have a strong body odor, you need to shower daily. However, some people perspire very little and they don't have to shower daily unless they want to. They can shower 2-3 times a week and just wash up at the sink on their non-shower days. Sort of just wash the stinky parts. However, anyone who gets smelly, probably should take a shower every day. I know some people must wash their hair every day but I never in my life understood that. My hair doesn't get greasy, if I washed my hair every day, I'd have brillo on top of my head. As for not taking a shower because she doesn't want to get her hair wet. I wash my hair every 5 days and shower once, sometimes twice a day and I don't wear shower cap and my doesn't get wet. I don't stand right under the shower spray. I adjust the spray so that it's directed at my body but not the top of my head. So that woman's excuse about her hair is ridiculous. Has she never heard of shower caps?

Absolutely a shower every day. Even sick as a dog, I get in the shower.

I am sorry to say, you can always tell if a person showers every day or not. They may feel clean, but there is an "air" about them that says they are not.

I shower at least once a day, in the Summer when we are at the pool I shower the second I get in the house.

I asked my hubby to shower after he came back from a wallk to get the pollen off of him

Need to shower every day. I'll admit its not always first thing in the morning but I feel horrible if I don't.

I shower twice a day. I do not go to bed without taking a shower. My husband does the same.

@chiclet Gosh, how can a woman not shower daily? Seems yucky to me. I shower in the morning and sometimes in the evening as well if I've been gardening. I don't shampoo my hair everyday, but wrap it in a towel to keep it dry. My dh does not shower every day, but I wish he would. LOL

Last year Vanessa got married in a very lavish ceremony that was filmed for Real Housewives of Alanta. She is expecting her third child. Her hair is very short and would fit easily in a shower cap.

I can easily shower without getting my hair wet. I don't wear a shower cap either.

I don't see what the issue is...

@countrylady I did not see this on The Talk. You are speaking about

Vanessa Marcil who used to be on General Hospital? She is now 50 and

only has one son.

I saw on People that she has had 7 miscarriages but nothing now about

expecting another.

I do not watch any of the Housewives shows.

I think most Americans shower/bathe at least once a day. Outside of USA, it is not so common.
