How Many Showers is Too Many?

I'm not sure but I do the same thing. I get to overheated and i get into the shower to feel better. I can't stand to get to hot. C=Besides it affecting my ms systems it makes me feel yucky to sweat to much also.

I try not to shower more than one a day becuase more than that tends to dry my already eczema prone skin out too much! Luckily the UK isn't generally too hot, maybe the odd times in the summer there will be days when i take an extra shower but maybe without using any shower gel, just the water so as not to dry my skin out. I think more than twice a day is too much for your skin to cope with really, it may be a nice way to cool down and stop you from feeling sticky but i think if we get our skin too wet too often or over clean it it can be damaging.

Yes it is ok Elusive I do to when it is really hot as long as you moisturize your Body you will be fine There has been times when I showered 4 times a Day lol

Sometimes I shower 3 times a day and as I use Olay Body Moisture Wash it does not dry my skin out.

My husband takes two a day. He gets grease and oil all over him so he takes a shower before he comes home from work. He sweats alot when he is outside. As a result he takes another shower before he goes to work. Sometimes he has been known to take two at home and one at work in the same day. LOL

oh I don't think that there is one definite number of showers one has to take in the day but of course too much is too much and I don't think I would ever advice anybody to get three or more showers per day!!!let's hope you will feel much more accostumed to the weather as soon as possible..oh yes I think it a great idea to profit from such a great thing as a swimming pool..refreshing, relaxing and healthy...anyway I hope you don't mind me adding just a note to say how we can be different according to our origin..here in italy we are much more familiar with hot weather and hot in general than you Americans are..I mean, that I met with many Americans while being in medical congress and they were always complaining about the hot weather even though the air conditioned was on and it was so chilly that I was feeling cold!!! I think that we can suffer from cold or hot in such different manners that is incredible funny and interesting learning the differences among us..hope you don't mind..it is just to laugh together at differences between general likes and dislikes of populations..

I think it depends on how long your showers are that you take. If you take shorter showers than it is okay to take two or three a day but if they are long showers, I think that is too much water being used plus increasing your water bill. I usually take one shower a day but the last couple of days has been hot and humid so I have taken two showers a day, one being my normal shower and then a short, cool me off shower. :-) My roommate takes three showers. He will take one long one and then a couple minutes later will take another one and after that he takes another one a couple minutes later. That is definitely too much.

With today's great shower products available that moisturize while showering I can't see why it would hurt. I'm the same way... I cannot stand to be stinky and sticky! LOL Just try not to wash the hair constantly as that can dry it out for sure. But using the great products out there (my favorite is the METHOD HOME stuff that I've written about before) to moisturize during the shower plus the great matching products for afterwards there's no reason to have dry skin. The yellow dollar general stores carried Caress soaps around here that not only smell wonderful but really do moisturize well. I think a big bottle is about $3 and you honestly need only a few drops on your bath sponge/mitt or whatever you bathe with. It leaves the skin so smooth and replenished. Then afterwords use some lotions to keep the moisture in. Method has a great product line out that I'm using all the time now that smells wonderful, is all natural and really is fairly priced. Most of their stuff is available at Target or you can check out what they have online at http://www.methodhome.com to see what all is out there. I'm not sure if you can order from their site, but I think you can.

I would think you can take as many showers that you want per day- Just don't use super hot water- that is what dries out your skin. But I'm with you- jump in the pool- saves water and the heating the water bill. Plus it is so refreshing to jump in a pool and swim around- I love it! Our pool will be ready this week! I can't wait! Going to be a hot one this week here in NY- 80's and humid- I take 2 showers most days too-- or at least a shower and a bath!

I would just always use a good moisturizer...wether its a body wash or caress. I use the caress soap and I just love it. Its not only great on the skin but it always makes the bathroom smell so good..

I hate hot sticky weather, too, and usually cringe in front of the air conditioner! I don't think 3 showers a day are a problem unless you start drying out your skin too much. You'll notice because you'll start itching.

In such a weather, it is great relief to have shower. I take at least 4 times a day and often more. It helps feel fresh and clean. In such weather condition, a shower does not do any harm. Even taking a dip in a pool would help.

You can dry out your skin, nails and hair if you take too many showers. It may cool you off for a few minutes, but you will just get hot again and by jumping in the shower every time you get hot you may begin to throw off your body's natural ability to protect you from climate changes. Instead of taking a shower, get a spray bottle with some cool water and spritz yourself every once in a while and certainly if you do shower frequently, use a good moisturizer like Curel to keep your skin from drying out.

Just use a good body cream at least once a day and you shouldn't get too dried out, cocoa butter is my favorite.

lol yeh well i wish i could shower that much, we have rain water only so we can only have one shower a day.

When the weather is hot and humid and I can't sit in front of the fan, or even if I can, I like to have a frozen tea-towel around the back of my neck. I roll the tea-towel diagonally, wet it, shape it in half and put it in the freezer. Then I put it round my neck with the ends tucked in my shirt front. It keeps me cool and takes that "over-heated" feeling away.

I think more than 3 showers a day are too much. I take only one bathe a day, and though I do not feel comfortable with that, still I cannot manage to bathe twice. That is because I have a bad tonsil problem. But if you are feeling comfortable then you can go on for 3 bathes a day.

I don't think you can have too many showers - as long as you don't scrub your skin rare. I am not sure how true this is but I am not sure if it is ideal though to keep your skin too clean. One day when you stop showering for a day, you might find that your body cannot cope with the dirt or dust - since you have always been too clean. Just my thought, no scientific basis.

To be honest.Three times showering a day is not good.Showering 2 times isn't good either.One time a day should be enough.Everyone has a little bit fat on their skin.It's to protect us.Showering too much will make this dissapear. I can understand when the weather is hot you like to shower more than usual but it's not good for our skin.

lol...u want to be shrinked in water just like hippopotemous??...lol... i think 2 baths a days in hot n humid conditions like ours is fine but more than that may sometimes make u catch cold...so 2 is just fine enough unless u wanna be a hippo..hahaha
