How often do you take a bath?

Didn't have a bath for 7yrs, cos the bath in my old place was uncomfortable to lay back, so it was shower all the way.. HOWEVER, that all changed yesterday in my new digs, it has a nice new roman tub.. Was rather nice, so i can see myself doing it more often ! Did get dizzy mind when i stood up, & rather enjoyed it !
 
Very very rarely. I don't have a bath at my house here but do at my place in Austria. When I'm over there I tend to have them more frequently as it's a bit of a novelty but generally I'm too impatient to wait for the tub to fill and just jump in and out of the shower quickly. I actually have a very cool shower which sprays water from the sides aswell as the top. It also serves as a steam room and has a built in radio where I usually listen to BBC world service. :p

Hardly ever. Shower once a day (unless there's good reason to do it more, or very good reason to do it less) but hardly ever have a bath.

once a day? i couldn't function without having a shower in the morning and i wouldn't be able to sleep with the days grime on me. i rarely have a bath, only really have one if i'm ill.

I think once is standard for most people, unless I'm massively misjudging things.

I'm rigorous about washing my face morning and night, and I'll have a quick wash under my arms in the sink if needs be in the evening. I usually don't need a shower, come the evening, as I sit at a desk all day long, so it's not like I'm minging after a hard day at the building site or whatever.
 
. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an ex-foliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturiser, then an anti-ageing eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Patrick? Is that you?
 
I can't remember the last time I had a bath. Like others have already mentioned, I much prefer showers because they quicker and far more convenient. There is something very therapeutic about a bath though.

i think a 3 minute shower in the morning is a far more efficient way to wash and wake up rather than a sponge/flannel/sink wash. shaving in the shower is a good way to save time too and opens up the poures.
 
I take a quick 2 min shower in the morning and a proper one in the evening.

Can't remember the last time I had a bath, I tend to find baths too small for me! :eek:

Never got into this. Wouldn't trust myself not to slit my own throat without a mirror handy!
