here in the Philippines, taking a bath daily is a must since it is basically summer all year long… but even in cold weather, we still take time to clean our body and take a bath. However for some people, taking a bath daily is not enough, they want to take a bath twice or thrice a day.
i used to take a bath twice, one in the morning and another in the evening before sleeping. However, now that I am working, I am too tired before going to bed that I have no time for a quick shower. And also someone said that taking a bath before bedtime when the body is tired is bad for the nerves.
But i still want to form that habit...you know taking a bath twice daily. Do you think it's a good idea?

You should always bathe 2x a day no matter what. Even when I've been at home relaxing all day, I still do this. As far as taking like a bubble bath, I do that less often. But when I do, it's very relaxing, it feels really good.

I usually take a bath in the evening when back from work, and it is a very refreshing experience that can take away all the tiredness. Whether the weather is cold or not, the bath is still required and is easier to fall asleep too. On weekends when there are outings, I may need to shower twice. But I feel that twice a day should be good enough.

I take a bath twice a day or even thrice if its too hot here. I also take time to have shower at night even I come from work. I just let my body relax for about an hour and then the water I also use in taking a bath was a lukewarm. That really relaxes my body and tired muscles. I was also informed about that habit is wrong but some reflexologist advice me to rest for awhile and make sure that the water is not cold when I take a bath at night or whe I come from work.

Yes misshoney that's definitely a good idea to take a bath twice daily. I take a bath minimum twice daily and if I do house work/cook /go out/its just another hot day I would take a bath again sometimes up to 4 times a day.

personally i take a bath at least twice a day.Once in the morning time and once in the evening time before I go to bed.This is sufficient enough for me.Taking a bath before bedtime helps you to relax and unwind so you can get a good night sleep.

I'm from the Philippines too. As far as I can remember, I take a bath at least twice everyday sometimes even more.
No matter how tired I am at night, I really have to take a quick shower before I go to sleep. Taking this shower also makes me feel more relaxed and clean. I also can never leave the house in the morning without taking a bath. The only time I refrain from taking a bath is when I'm really sick and I can't stand.
