Curiosity only.
Here in Brazil itβs very common to have several showers a day. I, for example, take two. The first is when I wake up, before I go to work, and the second is when I get home from work. I wake up at 6.30am and get home at 8pm.
edit: I said bath, but I meant shower.
itβs only normal to take a twice a day bath in a hot tropical climate.
like itβs only normal to take a bath twice a week in a cold geographical area.
Pretty much. Iβm in Texas. During the winter, every two or three days is fine. As long as Iβm not doing anything to get dirty, it just isnβt needed. Excess showers will just dry my skin out, and washing my hands/feet/face is enough for daily maintenance.
But during the summer, all bets are off. Shower in the morning because the AC in apartments struggles to keep the bedroom cool and I woke up in a pool of sweat. Then sweat heavily on the way to the car, at lunch, on the way home from work, and again when taking the dog for a walk. Of course I need another shower by bedtime.
I live in a mountain town, and I still shower every day when I get home from work. I am an electrician and tend to get pretty dirty throughout the day, and at minimum need to clean my feet so my boots donβt develop stank. I may forgo a shower on Sunday if Iβve spent the day on the couch or being lazy around the house, but if Iβve had any form of physical activity, shower.
Your comment is important. Many people from tropical climates think that people who donβt take many showers a day are unhygienic. Just as many people from colder climates think that people who shower a lot are crazy.
