According to multiple reports, excessive showering is actually doing damage to the skin and the body's ability to heal itself. "Soap and the hot water dissolve the lipids in the skin and scrubbing only hastens the process," experts say, via a report in PJ Media. The report added that scrubbing interrupts the body's natural oil production which promotes healing. "I think showering is mostly for aesthetic reasons," Dr. Elaine Larson of Columbia University's School of Nursing told Time. "People think they're showering for hygiene or to be cleaner, but bacteriologically, that's not the case."[910]
