Sometimes I’ll go a few days when I’m working from home and not going anywhere out of pure laziness. But if I’m going to be interacting with other people, shower guaranteed beforehand.
Same same. Dental hygiene and face care routine is a must twice a day, but other than that I can go a couple of days without a shower. I'll be the first to admit I can get a little stanky, but there are no other people around to witness it. I think the issue with these unwashed people OP mentioned is their willingness to enter the public domain at peak stank, and their inability to notice it themselves.
This is literally what I'm talking about.
HOW do people go out in public if they know they stink? How can they live with themselves not being clean at least semi-regularly? It's baffling to me.
Same. It just doesn't compute to harm your skin when you don't plan to meet anybody. And I don't smell my own body odor anyway. Your skins microbiome and the environment say thanks. OTOH if you're sweating much you should consider a shower because the initial healthy effects of sweat on your skin wear off, when it's clogging your pores with toxins and bad bacteria it washed of beforehand.
It’s when I start smelling myself that I know I am extra stanky.
