Today, we make our way back into the bathroom as we go deep on showering. How often should you actually shower? What’s the proper way to do it? Do you actually need to wash your legs every time? How long should your shower last? Should you be using a loofah — or are they actually bad for you?

A lot can be learned from someone’s showering habits. In this episode, we dive into the history of bathing and the science of showering. You’ll probably learn more than you ever wanted to know about our own showering habits. We also give our thoughts on former Atlantic writer James Hamblin, who gave up soap and showering entirely and documented the process in his book Clean. Then we take a trip through an abbreviated history of bathing with Katherine Ashenberg, author of The Dirty on Clean: An Unsanitized History. Plus, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Lisa Akintilo walks us through her practices for keeping your skin healthy.
Here’s a clip of Ellen DeGeneres asking Taylor Swift if she washes her legs.
