Has your shower frequency decreased since going paleo?

I usually go jump in the nearest river and clean my spear from the freshly killed buffalo that I ran down over the last 20 miles. -Matt |

Nope. I usually shower once a day, in the mornings before work. Sometimes, if I feel mucky, I'll take another one before bed or before going out. Sometimes, if I'm just laying around the house on a day off, I'll skip. |

Shower frequency hasn't changed, but I'm less inclined to use shampoo and deodorant. |

If anything, I shower more now. I am getting way better workouts and sweat up a storm. |

I live on an island. I occasionally cleanse myself in the ocean, with lamb fat and lemon juice. Needless to say, I'm always pretty salty. A healthy amount of aloe plants makes your skin really comfortable. |

Nope, but I skip soaping up my entire body some days to keep my skin from drying out (I just stick to the critical areas). |

Once a day in the winter, twice when it is hot. I use 100% natural olive oil soap with no additives. |

I must be weird. I shower once a week. I don't smell. I use a simple coconut oil/baking soda mix for deodorant. I doubt dousing my skin (i.e., organs) in fluoridated, chlorinated water is optimal for health, so I try to minimize it. Besides, it's good for the environment :) |

i don't associate showers with getting "clean" anymore. i only shower when i feel like having the sensation of fresh water flowing over my body. also, no soaps, shampoos, lotions, shaving creams, etc. no more razor burn, dry flaky skin, dandruff, excess oil. i "trust" my skin. |

In the morning and after working out, morning shower probably isn't necessary most of the time, but it helps wake me up. |

No soap, no shampoo, shower once a day or every two days on non-duty days. Cold water and no more than 10 minutes to keep all my skin issues under control. If the ketosis smell gets too strong I'll slather on some coconut or jojoba oil mixed with a few drops of tea tree oil, it gets rid of any wonky odors in place of soap. |

I shower 1-2 times per day mostly to raise my body temp and absorb water. I shower enough that using soap is a bad idea. |

The change of my hygiene habits wasn't really a result of going paleo, more like an overall transition to a different kind of lifestyle and attitude. Shower usually daily to every other day as a result of a dirty job and exercise habits, but most showers are little more than a rinse. No soap, I use baking soda to wash. I wash my hair 1-2 times per week. No deodorant other than sometimes a homemade one from coconut oil. Moisturize mostly with oils. Carefully avoid dangerous additives in any commercial hygiene products I do use. I don't let stink marinate and concentrate, but I embrace the fact that after an active day, yep, I have a smell. I don't think I have to run home in shame to wash it off, although a freshening is courteous when interacting with other people. A clean diet definitely makes for a much more pleasant body odor. I like the natural smell of a good healthy body. |

I shower every other day. If I go longer than that my hair gets really greasy and I start to smell. On shower days I slather myself in lotion. I use olive oil soap and all-natural lotion. On non-shower days, I don't wash my face unless I have worn make-up that day. I do anti-perspirant every day. My real higeine compulsion is flossing. I floss two or three times a day. |
