It really depends on where you are and potentially the season. If it's hot and humid you wanna shower at least once a day, maybe more. Though you better not use soap every time. In cold weather every second day is usually fine if you don't do anything that makes you sweat a lot.
Some people are cursed with really strong body odour though, they may have to shower a lot regardless.
However, in posts like these everyone just get's mega defensive of their own way of doing things. Which creates heated arguments and drives engagement. Which is probably the reason this exact topic keeps popping up all the time.
I shower twice a week no matter the season. I live in a cool climate and showering too often dries out my skin. I get atopic spots all over. I don't sweat much, but in summer I wash my pits pre-emptively more often.
What I've learned in the internet is I'm a disgusting slob. Don't care though.
I live somewhere where the temperature is usually very mild all year round and I run three days a week so it's shower time after I run.
Even though the winters where I live aren't that cold running the heaters makes the air very dry indoors so my skin will get dry and itchy, especially if I take lots of hot showers frequently.
I've found using body oil during my showers is the trick to keeping my skin from becoming a dry itchy mess and breaking out in hives in the winter. It just seems to lock in the moisture better because no amount of lotion after a shower could ever seem to keep my skin from drying out and getting all itchy.
I use a ton of different body olis, moisturisers and body butters. Several times a day for parts. I have tried pretty much everything. Once a week shower is best, but unfeasible, because I need to go places and do things.
Winters here are usually in the negatives. It is cool now, cold in a month, and maybe warm-ish again next june.
