Are there any benefits for not showering everyday?
>>
>>77549813
haven't used soap shampoo or deodorant since march 2023
shower whenever i just think i need to, defin teily not every day lmfao imagine being that retarded
>>
>>77549813
Pros: save $100 a month on water bills
Cons: you will look and smell disgusting
>>
There are benefits to foregoing soap and shampoo. But you still need something to scrub or exfoliate with.
>>
>>77549813
you save money, also social isolation

Here's something they don't tell you about showering. After two weeks without it, your body's microbiome and hygiene cycle adjusts, and actually starts to clean itself. There's need to shower after this, and your acne, psorosis, any fungal infections etc will start to clear up all by itself. Also excellent for anti-aging and combatting baldness.

Water dries your skin out.

>>77549813
I shower twice a day every day.
>>
>>77549850
This is basically how I shower. Soap on the pits, crotch, ass. Then I run a wash rag over my body. Otherwise the dead skin ends up in your towel.

I do shampoo and conditioner once a week too. Greasy hair looks like shit
>>
>>77549818
can you tell us about the march 2023 incident please
>>
>>77550014
yeah that's why homeless people smell so good
>>
>>77550171
Homeless people smell because they wear the same clothes all the time and piss and shit on themselves.
>>
>>77550118
Wash your towels every week. Problem solved
>>
>>77549813
this guy

gets it.

Does any other animal on the planet do anything remotely equivalent to showering daily? Your skin is a complex organ with a variety of self cleaning and protective systems developed over literal millions of years of evolution and the idea that you need to scrub everything off it every day is absurdly stupid. It is supposed to be covered in a protective layer of dead skin, oil, and microflora. When you shower, especially with hot water and soap, you're stripping away this protective layer.

You body knows that it's supposed to have the oil you just removed, so it starts working to produce more oil to replenish it. Then you strip it away the next day, and the next, and pretty soon your body is in a constant state of oil overproduction which is why your skin gets so gross after only a day or two of not showering. The same happens with your hair oil.

You should be showering as little as possible. How much that is will vary by person and by how much you've allowed your body to heal from the damage of daily showers. If you're showering daily then every other day might be the best you can do. Eventually you can gradually increase the time between showers; I shower about once a month.

>you must stink lol
I work a corporate office job with strict hygiene expectations; I would be called to HR by the end of the day if I showed up looking dirty or smelling bad. If I told my coworkers I only shower once a month they flat out wouldn't believe me.
>>
>>77550410
you 100% stink
>>
>>77550414
Since I started shower chastity my natural masculine pheromones have been skyrocketing. Women will literally stare at me full of lust on the bus and men will get out of my way if we cross paths.

So yeah, I smell. I smell of intense male energy.

>Hello saar... do not redeem shower saar
Just because your Indian colleagues don't smell you doesn't mean you don't stock, Poodeep Ramjeet
>>
>>77550014
Lol bullshit. You just go noseblind to it. I used to work with a guy like this. He didn't believe in using soap because it's bad for your skin or whatever. He smelled like rotten garbage all the time. And if he did anything that would make him sweat, he'd smell even worse. People (especially women) resented him so much they'd escalate every little thing with him until it became an hr issue or even just make up problems. Eventually he had so many hr issues that they fired him.

Jeets wish they had my mastery of the English language and if you look at my posts and think an ESL wrote them then you're ESL yourself. Body odor isn't some magic thing that your body emits; it's caused by a bacterial imbalance on your skin. Scrubbing yourself with soap and hot water every day is, for your skin, the equivalent of taking antibiotics every day. Rather than allowing your body to develop a healthy and natural balance of microflora, you're wiping it all out every day.

The reason you have to cover yourself in deodorant to keep from smelling like shit 30 minutes after you step out of the shower is because your skin microbiome is completely fucked from a lifetime of daily showering and there's nothing to stop pathogenic odor causing bacteria from immediately setting up shop.

I was wondering if I find the newest incel schizo fad ITT.
Not really disappointed but I had to scroll further than I expected.
>>
>>77550481
I tested it one summer. It's true. You need a clean diet and to drink a lot of water but after the first stinky weeks it balances.
>>
>>77550619
Or you just get used to your own odor.
>>
>>77550619
Plants make you stink. Body odor disappears when doing carnivore diet.
>>
>>77550628
I've experimented with a lot of extreme diets and this is absolutely not the case. Some vegetables will give you a related body odor (stuff like onion, garlic) but overall, meat makes you smell a lot more than plants. The most obvious case of this was when I tried eating nothing but fruit. By the end of the first week, not even my shit smelled, like I could hold a piece of dirty toilet paper an inch away from my nose and literally smell nothing.

Carnivore tends to make you smell like whatever animal you're eating. I found this to be especially pronounced when I was eating nothing but meat and raw milk; both my body odor and shit had a smell that reminded me of cow manure. The best thing I found for eating animal foods without associated body odors are heavily cooked or processed things like bone broths or collagen powder.

>>77549850
exfoliating towels exist
>>
>>77550410
in modern industrialized society, your body is exposed to a shit ton of pollutants, toxins, and genetically mutated bacteria far more harmful than what our ancestors were

you dont need to user harsh cleansers or leave your skin dry but its still important to hit it with soap every now and then.

autists always take things to extremes. trust me, other people can smell you, but they're just avoiding you.

whatever you say, stinky

Ok, you magically don't smell after weeks of stink, schizo theories aside, what's the downside of just taking a shower?

are there any benefits to not showering 2 times a day?
you see
>>
>>77550995
this
also your housecat will spend half of it's waking moments cleaning itself and your dog will reek if you don't wash it and actually communicates with other canines via scents
Humans do not share this trait FYI/

Cleaning shills working overtime already

Maybe YOU like your skin to be a slimy toxic playground for shampoo manufacturers but I don't.

I know for a fact that fish don't take daily showers.
>>
>>77549818
I havent used soap in probably ten years. We have scolding hot water now, it's not the middle ages anymore where you soak in a lead bathtub with a rotten soap bar. I also wash my ass after taking a shit, can NOT shit without washing my ass afterwards, swamp ass is nasty.

none of the people who shower/don't use soap ever get laid or get blown, so the issue never really comes up.

If you live in a nation which has access to clean water at any time, then you have almost no reason to not shower daily.

No, you get used to your own smell after a while, but trust me, everyone else WILL notice
