Not more than once a day unless you've been really active and need to go out. It's common courtesy to avoid any body odor, so if you go out sure, make sure you're clean. But showering too often can also really damage your skin, especially if you tend to have a dry skin to start with. Body lotion and such helps some but it's best to take no more showers than needed, not use very hot water, and skip a day if you're hanging around at home on your day off (the good part of living alone, my cats don't care :)).

It depends on the person's lifestyle.
In more high-activity times (sports, stress, etc), I shower daily
Other times, like during school, I shower every other day.
Your skin and hair need your body's natural oils for moisture and nutrients. However, not showering often enough can allow bacteria to grow, leading to smells and other unpleasant things.

I don't know the answer but I can give my opinion. I like to shower every day but I only wash my hair every other day. I know that showering too often dries out your skin and hair. I also know some kids who don't shower enough and they don't need to use product to slick their hair back. The grease gets the job done for them.

it depends on their level of activeness. i mean the more active you are the more u sweat and secrete oils. also this is more true in hot weather. if u don't feel like u need a shower... u probably don't. i mean u should be able to judge your body odor and know if u should or should not wash yourself. some people take showers and baths just to relax. its more of a personal choice. just make sure u are taking a shower when u stink. lol

I think it really varies from person to person. But personally, I take one a day at least. Sometimes two. Thats only if I work out. And I've even taken a third because I take one in the morning. Then, I work out and take another. If I have to go back to work, or do some running around and I have a date later that night, I take a third!

No more than once a day, unless you absolutely have to do more. It's incredibly damaging to your hair and skin to purge them of natural oils.
I personally don't bother taking one everday if I'm not doing anything in which I sweat or get dirt on me. It's an incredible waste of water if you don't actually need a shower that day.

As needed. Everyday is a waste of water. If you don't do much (IE- lazy weekends), and you don't sweat just lying around, I don't feel a shower is necessary, as long as you shower before you do something. Although the limit is about three or four days, depending on how oily your skin is. If your skin is very oily, three max, otherwise four is pretty lax.
