Is it really necessary to shower daily?

I currently shower every day, but a friend of mine and I were recently talking and she only showers once every other day and always smells and looks just fine. I don't really go outside much either or do anything that would cause me to smell. Does that mean it would be ok for me to shower every other day too?

Ugh, some of you people give such stupid answers because you don't read the whole thing. I do shower everyday. I don't really plan not to shower daily, I just wonder why you can get away with it without it being noticable at all.

I shower daily (more than once daily) and I believe everyone should also(not more than once if they dont need to)..

anyway... I sweat alot so thats why I NEED to take a shower a couple of times daily..Now other people dont have the problem I have and they only do it once a day..But no matter what u need to shower everyday because even if u THINK ur clean(like, I just took a shower last night..I dont need one this morning) ur wrong..We shed thousands of dead skin cells daily(which is why some people may feel a bit itchy if they dont take a bath..because of those dead skin cells and the bacteria they have accumulated)...Ur friend may "look" and "smell" clean but shes not or not as clean as u may think...

Also just because she smells clean doesnt mean she is(like I kinda said before..).. Some people who take showers daily smell and look gross within a couple of hours after showering..and some dont shower for a day or two and smell just peachy...Everyone is dif.... But the fact is, neither are clean...

EDIT:

Oh please, u dont have to wash ur hair every time u take a bath...some do (for what reasons? I dunno) but its not a necessity...It can damage ur hair...

Also if someone has a problem with hot water(like it drys out ur skin or w/e) then use cold water!!! the point is that u need to clean urself daily because of dead skin cells and what not...

Sure, anti-bacterial soap is not that great for you(since it kills good bacteria as well as bad and then makes way for bad bacteria to infest ur skin..where the good bacteria cant fight it off since it was killed after u washed urself with the soap)

..and u shouldn't use it all the time but not every soap is anti-bacterial so that's not a big issue..Use anti-microbial soap instead..or something like that...

I dunno w/e u decide..
