In Europe they tend to shower less. Americans are encouraged to shower every day, however this should not be. Showering once or twice a week is actually HEALTHIER than every day. Showering with hot water lowers sperm count for men and overall is decreases the ability of the immune system to fight bad germs. Humans need some dirt and germs to stay on us so our immune system can fight it off. In colder climates where one is generally not sweating as much, there is no need to shower. Also diet depends on how much you should shower. I am vegan and I shower once a week because I don't smell, or if anything I smell good because my body does not release toxins. Heavy meat eaters smell bad because they are releasing meat and dairy toxins form their sweat which smells bad. Also over showering is bad for the environment, all that wasted water is killing the Earth when it could be used for something more proper. Point is showering every day is an American invention that is completely unnecessary. It is bad for health, the environment, and completely depends on the person who needs a shower.

It's not so much climatic as social. Americans are notorious for over-bathing. Then, we have to moisturize because we have removed the protective oils from our skin. There ARE climatic factors, of course. Where water is scarce, people shower less (and frequently need it less). Hot, wet climates require more frequent showering. Either that or stinking. Many choose the latter.

i live in a cold climate. i shower every day. actually one sweats a lot in all those coats and stuff so you really can't get away with showering that much less. however, too much showering does dry out the skin, and so does the cold, so its not good to shower more than once a day in a cold environment. in the summer, its easily necessary to shower twice a day, so hot!

Not exactly true, but less often than in warm countries, I'm British but live in Philippines and need to shower at least twice a day here.

In the UK you can wear the same pair of jeans for a week, but here it is too hot for me to wear jeans and I have to change clothes everyday at least.

People who live in the far North, like Inuit, Eskimos, Sammi, Mongolian nomads never shower.

If true, I'll bet those folks slather on the deodorant.

No. If its too cold they generally take baths.

wtf, no lmao, where did u here that?
