As of 2016, new studies are showing that people do not need to bathe as often as they do. The standard for most modern cultures is to shower either once a day or twice a day. But this can cause problems.
Researchers at Colombia University have discovered that washing too frequently can dry out and crack your skin. These openings then allow bacteria and other microbes to get into your body. And although you might be washing off some of the smells of the day you're also washing off natural oils that your skin produces.
The study doesn't say how often you should bathe; only that once a day is more than necessary.

Most people would bathe only once a year. The royalty bathed a little more often, about once every six months or so. Queen Elizabeth I was noted for her particular concern for hygiene, boasting that she bathed every three months, whether she needed it or not. It should also be noted that just because people did not bathe often does not mean that they were unkempt.

Having said that, we pay more attention to our cleanliness than the majority of past generations.
