How often should I shower?

Question

My parents for years complain I waste so much water and use very little soap. I do admit I shouldn't be using so much, but applying too much soap isn't good. I'll probably seek a dermatologist for advice but until then, what do you guys think?

Confusing question. How OFTEN should you shower or HOW LONG should your shower last?

I'm East Asian, so I don't stink except sometimes from my armpits. My towel does get dirty and smelly even if I do clean it once every few days.

Use enough soap to remove the stink.

Well my hair would also stink but I can use shampoo for that. My crotch area will obviously stink and maybe my feet but that's it.

Okay. You might want to wash your butt occasionally, too.

Well showering too long can dry up the oils on your skin

I used to always use hot water even during the summer (except during very hot days) and that has caused my skin to be dry and itchy almost all year round since 2017
