__How Often Should I Shower?__
Ideally you should shower at least twice a week and after any physical exercise. You may get away with once every week but any longer than that and you will develop BO. Once month or year is definitely not recommended.

+Showering once a day is acceptable. (In the case that you don't much physical activity or labourous work, showering once every two days is fine.) Often a combination of daytime exercise (biking to university, school or work, for example) and evening social activities suggest showering twice. Experiance suggests that humans are not soluble, so you don't have to worry about being washed away.
__How Do I Shower?__
First, get yourself a face cloth (also known as a flannel), a sponge or a loufe. Beginners may find that a face cloth is easier and more intuitive to use. Find out from your flat mates what the deal with soap or body wash is. In some flats everyone uses communal soap or body wash, in others everyone has there own or body wash. It is considered very inappropriate behavior to use someone else's personal soap or body wash without asking. If in doubt, get you own.

Once this is completed, rinse all the soap of your body. Now is an excellent time to consider washing your hair. If the shower has two taps turn the hot tap off first, then quickly turn the cold tab off. If the shower has a mixer, turn it quickly to the off position. Now step out the shower. Grab your towel and thoughly dry yourself (especially between your toes). Now is a great time to apply deodorant. Put your clothes on (a clean set is recommended).
If you have been in the shower for a long time, you may find that your finger tips and toe tips will "swell up". Don't worry about this - it is perfectly normal and will go away shortly after you get out of the shower.
