This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm not the best guide for how often to shower, but every dermatologist-written guide I've read does indicate that a daily shower is unnecessary for most people and will (for most people) dry your skin. It can also damage your hair. This is true even in the absence of soap/detergent/shampoo.

That said, if you do anything that causes you to sweat, I think it's prudent to do a quick rinse because you always smell worse to other people than you do to yourself due to olfactory saturation.
