There was a time when bathing was considered an unhealthy activity. One of the main reasons why we have perfume is because it was used to cover the awful smell someone put off when they hadn’t bathed in a long time. Then we discovered how beneficial bathing was to our health. But if you take too many baths, you run the risk of washing away essential oils and cells your body thrives on. You only need to bathe one time per day to get the most out of it. Make sure to use a good soap and to clean your whole body. Showers use more water than baths, but really-it’s up to you which method of bathing you choose. Just choose one of them and do it regularly!
