I scrub with soap at night shower. Morning shower is just letting hot water wake me up and to wash my face, cause I’ve always been a messy face washer at the sink.
Weekly? Sure. But morning or night?
3AM
I shower before I go to bed. This is the only right answer. I can’t imagine going to bed with smelly feet and armpits, yuck
As long as people aren’t keeping you at arms length, telling you that you stink, and your skin and hair is healthy, people should shower as they see fit.
You stink, they’re just not telling you.
I’m one of those people that showers daily, cause my hair looks greasy if I don’t. People have different bodies, some need to shower more, some less.
No. People need to shower daily.
Your stink
Shower at night for yourself, shower in the morning for other people.
There seems to be a misconception that showering at night, getting into a clean bed and waking means you’re still clean… The truth is the majority of odours and filth come from you. Sweat, dead skin, other stuff…
These posts are always positioned as a binary, even when you can do both, and there’s some nuance to it all.
Like, do you brush your teeth in the morning or at night?
But you haven’t eaten anything in the night, right?
That’s the logic on display here.
I don’t brush my teeth after sleeping, either. After breakfast, sure, but first thing in the am? Why?
Because the bacteria in your mouth thrive in dry conditions, and a majority of sleepers are mouth breathers. The bacteria in your mouth are what destroy your teeth and give you bad breath.
Edit: I just saw you said Yes to after breakfast. I don’t know if it matters when, just don’t make night time be the only time you brush.
Yeah, I think I was underestimating how many people are habitually skipping breakfast. That seems like a bigger issue to address than whether you shower before or after the least active part of your day, if I’m being honest.
Because your body naturally produces things you need to clean, it’s like 75% of the reason you do it. Eating stuff just speeds up the production of bacteria. Give your breath a smell as you wake up in the morning before you eat anything, it reeks.
You should brush your teeth in the morning whether you eat breakfast or not.
The way I always heard it from multiple dentists is “if you want to keep your friends brush in the morning, if you want to keep your teeth brush at night, best is both.”
Dentist never heard of a mint?
Also I thought morning brushing was about teeth because most smells are on the tongue not the teeth unless there’d an abscess or something.
Does everybody brush/scrape their tongue every morning?
For me it started with not breathing well through my noses so my mouth would taste awful when I woke up from being all dry and weird. Then it became an excuse to get my ass out of bed and moving.
I eat dinner though
After you go to bed?
Gotta keep that emergency tendie stash on the headboard
It’s reasonable for most people to hit the Carlin-4 twice a day. If not for social reasons, then for health and hygiene.
Dentists say we ought to brush twice a day, morning and night. My dentist once told me that if I’m only going to brush once a day, then it should be at night. You don’t produce as much saliva while sleeping as you do while awake, and that create a better environment for the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Brushing at night removes the tiny food particles the bacteria feed on, reducing the likelihood of developing tooth decay and gingivitis.
We then brush again in the morning because the lack of flowing saliva overnight causes a buildup of other bacteria that feeds on mucus, which is the cause of “morning breath”.
Right? And I’ve been saying that at night, whilst you sleep, a similar process happens all over your body.
Sweat, dead cells, farting under the duvet.
That’s why we shower in the morning too.
Bed time isn’t a magical clean stasis. Biological processes happen. People seem to miss that in this weird debate.
The point being that you are going to bed with a day full of activity/dirt/sweat/stank.
You absolutely shouldn’t be showering twice a day…
ETA: Showing twice a day is terrible for your skin.
Exactly, you also need a shower after lunch…
Yeah. It’s shower, shower, bath, shower. D’uh.
This guy Magics the Gatherings.
Working at a big box retailer for the day fixing a printer and the dude in the department here smells like he showers once a week.
I’m not that dirty
ITT lots of sweaty sleepers spending 10 hours sleeping in a puddle of sweat and grease. I’d need a morning shower too if I was like that.
Normal people that are not covered in 10 hours of sweat when they wake up probably don’t need a morning shower and trying to say that sleeping (without the copious amounts of sweat of you veritable faucets)is the same as spending 16+ hours moving and working and being around other people is really delusional. And what adult is getting 10+ hours of sleep on the regular? Y’all either live in some major privilege or don’t have hobbies.
Nothing better than showering after coming home from a shift and washing off the filth from the day. When the hot water hits your back. pacha-meme.gif
Night showerers are gross.
Your skin and hair produce dead skin cells and oil. You wallow in that all night, and your bed gets continually dirtier until you wash the sheets, then you get up and go to work dirty in the morning. Your co-workers notice and make fun of you.
Morning showers are also what turns me from a coprse into at least the living dead.
This makes no sense. Is a body not cleanest immediately after showering? Why would morning showerers not be wallowing in skin cells and oil all night as well?
. . .and your bed gets continually dirtier. . .
Whose sheets are dirtier? The person who only climbs into bed once they’re freshly showered and clean, or the person who takes their entire day’s accumulation of dirt, grime, dust and pollen and climbs into bed covered in all that filth and gross?
Sure, it’s better to wallow in other people dirt all day and then go sleep in that.
It’s too easy to skip a shower in the morning for extra sleep though. Then I get no shower. That’s why I shower at night haha
When i wake up, if i had a shower tthr night before, my hair is all rough and greasy and i need to shower again in the morning. So its more efficient to just shower in the morning. Saves water and electricity too.
You might need to wash your pillow.
You should be doing that anyways
As someone who inherited my German ancestors greasy ass hair, let me tell you it doesn’t help. I’ll take it over the dry but relatively brittle hair of my Scottish and Irish ancestors, still got the rusty red color and wavyness from em though piss easy to maintain.
That’s fair. I was wondering because I have fine hair that gets greasy fast, but for some reason using a silk pillow case and washing it every few days (both my hair and the pillow case) has helped immensely.
WTF kind of foods are you eating? Waking up with greasy hair after you just took a shower??
What you eat has very little to do with hair texture
Hair texture is an entirely different thing than hair GREASE.
K. That also has little to do with what you eat.
Damn, so if I eat a pill of isotretinoin every day my hair will be just as greasy? How this has escaped dermatology for years is shameful, I’ll let them know right away.
Have you ever noticed the difference in your skin & hygiene & body odor from the times you eat greasy junk foods vs when you eat clean?
There is a 180° difference.
No, i haven’t.
You people shower daily?
Cool. Cool. Cool.
Just shower twice, what are you? french?
Si
People are so weird about germs.
Yes, they don’t exist. Have you ever seen a germ? NO! Hence, they’re not real. People are just weird.
Yeah, especially since we are half bacteria.
I cannot stand going to bed dirty. I always shower before bed. And if my day went poorly, and sometimes it did, fresh clothes and multiple showers during the day. But only once did I ever burn a set of clothes.
This is how most normal people feel. These threads are like the “stand to wipe” “debate” where it’s only a debate among a certain subset of very online people.
