Do you take a bath everyday?

I do sometimes. Whenever I had my Dialysis, I don't take a bath the next day. They said that once you take a bath after your Dialysis, it will cause your bone to brittle. And I don't want to let it happen. I am very cautious about my health now that I have a very low resistance to any kind of viruses, and my immune system is weak.
Even if I will take any kinds of vitamins, it still not going to work 100%.
I only wash my face and some part of my body, but sometimes I can't help it not to take a bath every day. In our case, our skin gets dry no matter what or how many times you put the lotion in your body. And the sad thing is, my skin becomes dark.
And when I take a bath, I use soap that is hypoallergenic or that has 100% moisturizer. That helps like 50%.
Anyway, don't forget to take a bath, everyday guys. It will help refreshen your day.
Start the week right.

oh, i have not taken a bath for a week now...
just kidding. of course my friend, the summer here in our country is so terribly hot, that we prefer to have cool water splash on our bodies. i usually take my evening bath at around 5:30, before Wild Flower.

I take bath twice or thrice a day right now. The humidity is too high and I can't help it myself.

@JustBhem I can get what you mean. I have a friend who is really sick. And he said that being touch or taking bath is such a struggle for him. Even Palmer's body lotion isn't working on how dry his skin.

I do not skip to take bath everyday. It feels odd if I've not taken bath on any day.

@Courtlynn Yes, I think so too but my hair gets oily, so I have to wash it at least every other day.

Ive heard people say hair should only be washed once or twice a week to keep it healthy.. not sure how true it is but works for me

nobody told us that when my father was undergoing dialysis.
if you can't resist the hot and sticky feeling, and avoid bathing/showering, try a wet washcloth/facetowel. it's refreshing, too.

Daily bathing/showering is very common in the USA.
The info about brittle bones if you bathe after Dialysis is new to me @JustBhem
Sorry that you even have to deal with that and hoping you regain your health somehow.

@JustBhem Perhaps you could research online and see if there is any truth in what they are telling you.

I will. But most of the patients followed this.

I shower everyday but i don't wash my hair each time. Sometimes I go 3 or 4 days withut washing my hair because my hair doesn't really get oily till then d some oil is good for it. My hair is some times dry & frizzy & letting it be oily for a little while makes it feel & look a lot better after I do wash it.

It's very hot in the Philippines right now, so I take a bath everyday. Twice a day, actually.
What's your condition, @JustBhem?

You take care too...Herbal soaps with moisturizers will be good. We need to take a bath everyday because of the weather
