I can't stand perfumes and in the past I've had reactions to antiperspirants. So: Daily shower with soap and water. Ideally after any workout (so the closer to a blue collar day I've had the later the shower).

Migraines and or autoimmune issues?

  The smell of a lot of laundry detergents makes me feel sick unless I go find the ones with no added scents. I assumed it was just an allergy at most.

    Migraines can make sense of smell drastically stronger. A super power that really stinks.

I think a lot of people overuse deodorants and anti-perspirants. But now I wonder how many people don't shower every day and thus do really need to use them.

  Nah. I shower at least once a day, sometimes two and still I will perspire as soon as I walk. And I would even say that I sweat a lot less when I can’t shower, which could make sense given that taking a shower basically removes the oily film of the skin. tbf, while I take a shower everyday because it feels good (and it’s what is socially acceptable), I really think we are not made to be washed frequently. I doubt our hunter-gatherers washed themselves everyday with soap. Yes we have better hygiene but still, I doubt our skin like it.
