I've been showering twice a day since middle school. I'm

Towel on your pillow.

Change bed sheets more frequently.

Dont.

You should be showering 3 times a day.

Every 8 hrs. If possible.

When you awake, halfway through your workday, or after gym, or classes, then just before bed.

Use a mild soap, and leave in conditioners

Shower once every other day you pleb

Well there's no other way than slowly getting used to it, I used to hate feeling oily, but after a while I even put oil in my hair at night so it becomes softer and shinier. Now I can go a few days without shower, I wont smell and my skin and hair feel amazing. It can take a few months, but it's definately worth it.

Thanks for the kind words

Have you tried showering only in the evenings? Might make it easier to start like that.

can you elaborate?

My current reasoning for showering in the morning is so that I'm clean and comfortable for work.

Right now however I am on break and so I guess I could shower mid day no problem.

That's actually what I did today and I feel fairly clean right now so its an interesting proposal.

what's wrong with showering twice a day?!!

shower in the morning to get ready, shower at night to wash the day off.

literally not even an issue

I used to shower twice a day, too! I actually have OCD, and I've learned to change my ways over time.

What works for me is staying in clean clothes and washing my face every morning and night. Towels on the pillowcases once they get too dirty (usually after two nights of sleeping directly on them). Also, start using numerous cover sheets- once one "feels" dirty, you can rip it off and have the cleaner one underneath. That helps to extend time between complete washes.

I only shower in the evening when I get home from work
mostly because it's physical labour and I get dirty, but it's also what I did back in school because I didn't want to get earlier to shower.
It's usually enough for me because I don't sweat much in bed and cleaning my face with some water and maybe soap in the morning is usually enough.
And since it sounded as if you didn't want to sleep in your bed feeling filthy, I just thought that showering before you go to sleep might make it easier to stop showering so often.
