Winter Bathing Routine Made Simple | Generated by AI
Your approach of bathing every 2 days in Guangzhou winter sounds quite reasonable! Let me share some thoughts:
Your current 2-day bathing schedule seems well-suited for you because:
- Guangzhou winters are relatively mild and humid compared to northern China
- You don’t exercise regularly, so you’re not sweating heavily
- Your short 12mm hair dries quickly and doesn’t get as oily
- You feel comfortable with this rhythm
About the “yang” feeling with your hair - this makes sense. Even in mild Guangzhou winters, going 2+ days without washing can make your scalp feel a bit itchy or oily. Your shorter haircut definitely helps with this.
For the clothing consideration: Your parents’ advice about spot-cleaning in winter is practical traditional wisdom. You could try:
- Bathing every 2 days (full shower)
- On non-bath days, do a quick wash of key areas (as your parents suggested)
- For jeans/pants: these don’t need washing after each wear. In winter, you can wear jeans 3-4 times before washing
- Consider getting 1-2 more pairs of pants for winter rotation, or wear the same jeans multiple times between washes (this is actually better for the fabric)
My suggestion: Stick with your 2-day bathing schedule - it balances comfort, hygiene, and practicality for your lifestyle. For laundry, jeans really don’t need frequent washing in winter, so you can wear them multiple days in a row.
Does this help with your planning?
