But, according to Professor Stephen Shumack, President of the Australasia College of Dermatologists, we should only shower when... we need to.
He told the Sunday Morning Herald: "It's become popular because of the social need to smell good. But it's only the glands in your armpit and groin that produce body odour. They're not all over the body."
He also claimed that showering too much "can cause actual damage making people more permeable to bacteria or viruses, itchy skin, dryness, flakiness and worsening conditions like eczema."
So, all in all, showering is a "social pressure rather than actual need."
Just have a shower when you're starting to smell, yeah?
