Actor couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis went viral a couple of years ago after admitting they did not shower daily. And while the hoohaa was all over the internet, the pair may be right. Showering every day may not be the best gift to give your skin.
Yet for most of us, bathroom routines are like autopilot. Brush teeth, shave, hop into the shower, get dressed, and youre fit as a fiddle. Skipping a scrub and a clean can leave you feeling a bit guilty and yuck. But it may be good for you to do that.
Science is increasingly poking holes in the idea that daily showering is always healthy for your skin. Showering daily, it seems, is more about social norms than actual physical or medical need.
