During the summer, I shower 1-2 times a day.
During the winter I shower the days where I have been working out in the gym, typically 3 times a week.
However I wash my entire body and face with a new washing cloth at least once a day using just cold to tepid water from the bathroom sink - after each visit to the toilet.
I use a disposable cloth like these:

Agreed. The typical mass produced soap is horrible. One of the byproducts of soap production is glycerin, commercial soap companies take out the glycerin and sell it back to you as a moisturizer. What is left is a soap that gives you that squeaky clean feel because all of the oils have been removed from your skin. They expect you to pay for the bottle of moisturizer - you pay twice.
My skin would get so dry in the winter that I would have issues. Talking to a dermatologist - she said to find someone that makes natural soap. I use a soap that contains shea and coco butters and that solved the problem.
Just because a large company like P&G sells soap - doesn't mean it is actually good for you....

Take a look at Aleppo Savon in Calgary, Alberta. He’s a fourth generation soap maker refugee from Aleppo, Syria. He makes a variety of all natural soaps.
