How Often Should You Bathe?

  • Most adults: Once a day is perfectly fine.
  • Older adults or those with dry skin: Every 2–3 days is often enough, with gentle sponge baths on the in-between days.
  • Always moisturize after bathing to restore lost hydration.
  • Avoid very hot or very cold water.
  • Use mild, fragrance-free soaps that don’t strip your skin’s oils.
