Isn't bathing with soap and detergents harmful if done everyday?

Is it necessarily healthy to shower and shampoo everyday? Could all those lovely cleansers mixed with steaming chlorinated H2O (and sometimes radon and other gases) be all that good for the body? Isn't it natural to maintain some micro-flora on the skin?Isn't bathing with soap and detergents harmful if done everyday?
Yes, it is very bad for you. I suggest showering once a month and never washing with soap.Isn't bathing with soap and detergents harmful if done everyday?
yes. because of the amount of bacteria that the average person picks up on a daily basis, it is necessary to bathe everyday with soap in order to kill the bacteria.





if it is a huge concern for you, try using more mild soaps, or all natural ones. also, it isnt necessary to wash your hair every single day, and can actually dry out your hair, as well as use a lot more water. washing your hair every 2-3 days is acceptable.
Bathing daily helps keep the normal bacteria on your skin in check and is beneficial to everyone around you because most people cannot smell their own body odor when they don't bathe/shampoo daily. There is no studies that state you need to maintain some ';micro-flora'; on your skin. There are plenty of organisms there no matter how often you bathe.
Well, you don't have to wash every day if you don't want to I suppose, but washing every day won't hurt you.





The only thing I can think of is that someone with a skin condition might find it gets worse, but they would probably just need to use certain soaps and shampoos rather than not bothering to wash at all.
Its hygienic to have showers everyday but it doesn't do anything to your body if you wash yourself everyday too. I wash myself everyday and feel fine not only knowing that people around me don't have to smell horse s-h-i-t
Soap merely removes surface dirt and oils, along with dead skin cells stuck to oils. Also removes bacteria in crevices that cause foul odors upon sweating. It does not remove necessary oils nor healthy flora specific for protecting the skin.
bathing is hygiene its required to shower everything otherwise u will smell like horse s-h-i-t
