I'm mid 30s, obese, don't sleep well. Lately, I feel like I need a morning shower just to look awake and presentable. Otherwise my face is too puffy. I often shower before bed too, especially if sheets are clean and I want to cuddle with my husband!
I don't think 2× a day is too much

Yes, most adults tend to shower twice in a day.

Citation?

This is bad for the environment and bad for you. There is no “of course” about it.

No they don't. I read an article that said that there are groups that don't shower or change their underwear but once a week if that. Guess what group that was?

That's insane.

If it’s a quick rinse it’s fine for skin. No different than washing hands several times a day. . I definitely take multiple showers if I’m exercising , going out , summer heat and humidity. Sometimes just to wake myself up at the end of a day and always when I wake up just to feel good. I moisturize a lot and don’t wash my hair all the time but always get it wet. Feels more refreshing to get completely wet. I also shower more during pollen season to get it off my skin and out of my system.

You're fine. Buy large bottles of body lotion and tell your friends to mind their own business.

I have better advice: if you don’t someone to comment on your showering habits, don’t tell them.

If it’s not actually bothering your skin, what’s the issue?

I am more likely to shower twice a day in the summer. Sometimes in the winter I might go a couple days without showering if I don't exercise so I think it balances out.

Time in shower is more important than number of showers for how it affects your skin.

You can adjust the temperature at the water heater tank.
