Taking showers everyday is very American and unnecessary

54. As a post menopausal woman

I resent anyone telling me how many showers I should take. If you're a woman over 50 your going to experience hot flashes and in the summer it's going to be even worse. Sometimes I'm drenched in sweat and it isn't pretty. I shower every morning and usually before bed. I don't wash my hair everyday because it doesn't need it, but usually every other day. As for skin drying out that's not true if you're using a really good skin softener. I use Shea Butter and it's awesome, it feels great to put on and leaves my skin very smooth and soft.

My husband like alot of men, works in a very physical job and comes home very sweaty and first thing he does is jump in the shower. The benefits of a good shower aren't just physical, they calm you down, relieve stress and sort of symbolically wash away the troubles of the day.

I happened to like the feeling of being clean and nothing will ever stop me from my daily showers.
