Showering at night?

Does anyone else shower at night time instead of mornings? I've started to do this every day for the last month but hoping it's not gross?

So every night full shower wash hair and body fully and shave if necessary then in the morning I have more time to do other stuff with the family and if hair needs styling it's already dry so doesn't take near as long do mornings I just rinse face and do teeth but don't do private's as they were done the night before

I do both, leisurely shower at night with hair wash.. then quick three minute shower in the morning to wash the essentials and wake me up

My parents both showered at night and I've done it all my life too. It makes sense to me to do it then after all the day's sweat and general grime from being out and about and to wash off perfume etc.

I shower in the morning and when I get home in the evening.

Anyone who does not wash every day is not getting anywhere near me...

@BackforGood it is obviously not just about sweat. If you have an active lifestyle/do a lot of exercise, use public transport, you are going to be pretty grimy by the end of the day. And frankly if you are a woman I assume you will want to wash daily when you have your period at least... Not to mention that smells like cigarette or certain food just clings to your body and hair if you go to clubs/restaurants and it is really not a pleasant perfume to carry around for days. You use the loo everyday I assume? It amazes me some people think they still smell of roses without washing daily...

Plus there is nothing less sexy than being with someone who thinks washing is optional. It is just common decency to have a good hygiene when you have sex with other people. Pure and simple.

I'm sure that BackforGood has moved on since 2020.

Either is fine.

I always shower at night. I want to be clean when I get in bed. Get the grime if the day off. It makes much more sense than showering in the morning.

If I am out all day I shower AM and PM. If home for the day, I shower AM only.

i prefer evenings too as less rushing

I never leave the house without a morning shower but I have a bedtime one too in summer/warm weather, and quite a lot of the rest of the time, just because I like to. I have special lavender shower gel and body lotion that I only use for bedtime showers :)

Bath at night obv. You wouldn't go to bed and lie on your own stink surely.
