That is terrible hygiene advice for women and girls.

Her language isn't as gender-selective as English, there being no 3rd-person pronoun for her/him he/she, and the word for younger sibling(ading) is also without a gender referent.

As for lotions, my noble spouse, <a href="people" rel="nofollow">Ilocano</a> Avenger, uses slices of lemon to clean her nails, and lemon juice on her face, as well as various products from Avon and other places. Interestingly enough, I read some recent research that lotions with vitamin C have some beneficial effects on the skin. I think it would be well-worth a try for those without any citrus-based allergies. Maybe guys are okay with the stereotype Ms Kate shared?

My legs are lucky (or unlucky, depending on your perspective) to see a razor once a month. Less in winter. I do shave the armpits every couple of days, though. Also, I don't even always shower every day, especially in winter. If I haven't done anything to get dirty or smelly, then I'll take care of it every other day. I do wash my face every day, though, (with soap) because I love mascara and it can't just stay on and cake up. I generally apply a light moisturizer after, also, because I have dry skin. I don't wash the hair every day, usually every 3-4 days, but I do always use conditioner when I wash it because my hair is almost as dry as my skin. I’m with you, Rocket Girl.

I shave about once a month. If I showered that infrequently, people would not be happy. Do other women really shave every time they shower? I shave about once a month.

So it's not something that it's good to let run rampant if it's getting worse. Plus it may be a sign that you have an elevated inflammatory response, which can affect your healing from all kinds of things.

I really don't have enough organizational power to manage to do anything about my face, and doctors do tend to look so disappointed in one when one tells them one doesn't plan to do anything about one's health problems. I also have a wart on my toe. It hasn't done anything obnoxious in all the time I've had it, which doesn't really incline me to care about it. Seriously, if I had to take showers according to this peculiarly complicated ablutionary scheme, I would never take a shower at all. If it can't be washed with Ivory soap it doesn't get washed at all, say I.
