【题目】 Two in three Americans shower once a day or more, according to a YouGov poll. Here’s why you might be better off showering less frequently (and here are other ways you might be showering wrong

①Daily showers are best for people with physically demanding jobs, those who live in hot, damp climates. But if you don’t sweat that often, you could probably go two to three days without stepping into the shower, skin doctor Monika G. Kiripolsky, MD, told Men's Health. Use these quick morning hacks to freshen up without showering.

② Drying off with a towel can further make your delicate birthday suit become worse. It’s best to air dry, according to HowStuffWorks.com, but if that takes too long or you don’t like leaving wet foot prints all over the house, use a soft towel and gently pat your skin dry instead of vigorously rubbing it. Check out these other mistakes everyone makes in the shower.

③ If the thought of showering every other day or a few times a week makes your skin crawl, consider a mini cleaning. Rub your chest, armpits, and outer sex organs with a washcloth and a mild cleaner, Men's Health advises.

Right now, your skin is teeming with good bacteria, but showering launches these microbes into the air. They’ll repopulate, but there’s no good reason to get rid of them on a daily basis, according to this blog post on PLOS.org. Find out what the healthiest temperature for your shower is.

Showers are typically the third largest water consumer in the average home (after toilets and clothes washers). The average American shower uses 17.2 gallons and lasts for 8.2 minutes at average flow rate of 2.1 gallons per minute, according to Home Water Works, part of the Alliance for Water Efficiency. Cut back to three or four showers a week from seven (per person in your home!) and that could make a decent cut in your water bill. To make those four showers count, learn what science says is the best time of day to shower.
