How often do you shower

Once a week. On Saturday night. Then I walk down the stairs to the saloon and drink a tall glass of milk.

Soap strips away your natural oils and good bacteria that protect your skin.
Funny you say that, this is what the boss hounds me about. In the cold months, I try to reduce my showers to at least one a day.

Every day. Sometimes I may miss a day or two, but mostly everyday. Sometimes 2-3 times in the summer if it's very hot and humid, but not very often.
Same as my friend Chris: daily shower with no issues.
However, it's my understanding that dermatologists are not against the shower itself on daily basis, but, more precisely, they are against the use of too much "drying out" soap that removes the good oily film on the surface of the skin.
So, you CAN shower every day and use as much water as you desire. What you have to be careful about is to use a highly moisturizing soap, preferably with natural, skin-friendly ingredients (I only use true savon de Marseille made with 72% of EVOO and without any harsh chemicals or any preservatives).

Biggest problem with showering is the water temp is usually too high for good skin health. But it's so dang hard to take a moderately warm shower in the winter! I want to see steam baby!

I can say from my former military service socialization...I tend to shower daily (after yard work, hospital / doctor appts and any other tasks that one would get 'sweaty').

According to my dermatologist, showering should be done using warm, not hot water. Also, it is recommended to moisturize your skin within 3 to 4 minutes after showering. This prevents dry, itchy skin.

I have a bath every 2 days and shower down briefly afterwards. Prefer a bath - you can lie there and think.
