Is it normal to shower once a week?
Depends.It depends
Showering once a week is less common, but whether it works depends on how much you sweat, your activities, and your body odor. You can stay comfortable between showers by washing key areas and changing clothes regularly.
People’s shower routines vary, and you don’t necessarily need a daily shower. But if you’re active, sweat a lot, work somewhere dirty, or notice odor or grime, once a week may not feel like enough—for you or the people sharing your space.
Between showers, washing your armpits, groin, face, and feet and putting on clean clothes can help. If your skin gets dry, shorter showers and gentle soap may be kinder than scrubbing every day.
