According to Rouleau, how often you choose to shower is largely dependent on personal preference: "If someone doesn't want to give off an odour, then they should shower regularly because it can feel unhygienic — although there is no harm or risk if sweat and oil aren't removed," she said. "Those who sweat and have oilier skin will generally need to shower more than people who don't work out or have dry skin, or have less oil production. I would say daily is good, but many can get away with every other day."
At the end of the day, there's a good rule to live and breathe by. "When the body gives off an odour, it's been too long," Rouleau said. "It can be difficult for a person to recognise their own odour, so sometimes a partner will be the one to notice it first."
