I would look up an actual academic article, but I don't care that much after being insulted. đ
The point is to take care of your hygiene, if showering less is enough for you that's great
While you're right, it's missing the forest for the trees. It's just quippy way of saying "takes care of one's hygiene"
But yes, it's mostly a common myth that you have to shower every day, ideally do what feels right/works for you to have a good hygiene

My armpits would like a word.
Good thing they don't have a mouth, could you imagine morning breath in addition to whatever they've got going on?
That would have been awful, and I would hate to have to brush my teeth thrice!
âNot strictly necessaryâ, please stop youâll sweep me off my feet!
Not at the top of that list are ya
At least my eczema's getting better, you ass.
Ass eczema must be miserable
Yeah I think there's a difference between having a smell and smelling bad. I've been told many times that I have a smell(musk) and that it's different from when I smell bad. A female friend of mine has borrowed clothes and protective equipment from me. Rain jacket: smells like me, kneepads: smell really bad.
Okay, but how do you live like that
It helps with my eczema? What do you mean?
I have hypohydrosis & super sensitive skin. People in here don't know shit about skincare or hygiene, apparently. Ironic. Lol so don't take it too personal.
my skin will explode in acne if I dont take a shower every day, guess bodies are just different đ¤ˇââď¸
My partner gets super dry skin and cant shower everyday during winter. I shower daily, as in enough water to use soap where I smell and rinse after.
That sounds like dysbiosis. Maybe see a dermatologist that at least understands that there is a skin microbiome.

Not everyday if you don't go outside, but if you go outside you need to shower before hand so you don't smell
