I remember reading that Queen Elizabeth I shocked, SHOCKED her subjects when they found she was a health fanatic and took cleanliness to the extreme by taking TWO BATHS a year!
Most people, in their lifetime, took one bath on their wedding day and that was it.
I remember a dermatologist who thought homeless bums had good skin because they rarely bathed.

Not as crazy as it sounds. We were designed eons ago when bathing was rare. Bathing takes protective oils off our skin. If you do not bath often you will stink but your skin will look great. That is just the way it is.

I bath often as I do not want to stink.
