This reminds me of my husband's experience in London. He was on a work assignment there together with 3 male and 3 female colleagues. their office mates were wondering why they looked fresh every morning as if they had taken a bath. And the Britons were much too surprised upon learning that the Filipinos bathe in the morning before going to work and also at night before bedtime. That is part of our culture to take a shower at least once a day because of the tropical climate. But too much showering, maybe 3 to 5 times a day, can dry the skin.
errrm I'm surprised at that story Corie, because everyone I know who live and work here in the London area , shower at least once a day if not more
I've never showered more than once a day unless it was extremely hot or I got extremely dirty....my skin is dry enough. When sick enough to be bedridden I don't shower either. I'm a piggy, lol. But boy after being sick that shower sure feels good!!
