I wanted to know - if I have a lot of leeway with washing my hair, how much leeway do I have with washing my body? Over the past three years I've stopped showering 'normally'; I've tried not-showering, going soap-free, soaking, dry-scrubbing, and oil scraping.

On the other hand, I had a hard time getting a level of cleanliness that felt easy and good after around two weeks out, and so probably that's the upper limit for what your body can naturally maintain (with some variance for diff genes and diets).

But not sweat! Tho I'm not super physically active, I do dance hard and am an excessive sweater (team hyperhidrosis unite), and the frequency with which I felt I needed to shower was mostly independent of my activity and sweat, tho I *did* spotclean my crevices more often.

And - again I do risk more mockery here - there is a 'natural body scent' that I grew to really enjoy with less showering (including in ppl around me who also showered less). It's not roses and vanilla, but it smells human and good and full of personality and I like it a lot.

Exactly, which I think is why internet now has started to claim that you're still gross if you don't shower TWICE a day. I also believe feeling morally dirty is a factor in this.
