The veteran “Today” anchor and weatherman claimed to take showers twice a day during a lighthearted on-air argument, despite dermatologists’ recommendations for a few times per week.
Al Roker, the host of Today, was open about his disagreement with a dermatologist’s advice regarding how frequently to shower.
After Adrianna Barrionuevo Brach, the editorial director of Shop TODAY, said that dermatologists advise taking showers two to three times per week during the third hour of Tuesday’s broadcast, Roker and co-hosts Sheinelle Jones and Dylan Dreyer had a lighthearted discussion about how frequently people should wash their hands.
In response to the decision to take a daily shower, Roker proclaimed, “I don’t care what they say, I’m going to say ‘A’.”.
Roker was unable to hide his disdain as Brach explained that fewer showers per week are advised by skincare experts.
The majority opinion is two to three times per week, but it varies from person to person. I’m wondering, “What is this?” as I stare at Al,” Brach said. According to the individual, their way of life, amount of sun exposure, age, and level of activity. ”.
Brach claims that the frequency of showers is a matter of personal preference, to which Roker responds, “Not if you come into contact with other people!”.
Jones stated, “There are seven days in a week,” and Dryer questioned whether the number was for children or adults because, as she put it, “Adults smell.” Both Dryer and Jones expressed displeasure with the concept. ”.
Later, Jones had a change of heart and admitted that she could see how the concept made sense in terms of preserving the skin’s natural oils and avoiding dry skin.
You don’t want to interfere with the natural bacteria that is present on your skin and is a component of your microbiome because they help to protect you, according to Brach. “Things could get messy when you’re scrubbing and using soap and abrasive detergents — I can’t stop staring at Al. ”.
Jones referred to Roker’s admission that he takes two daily showers as “too much” as the debate came to a close. ”.
The hosts then discussed how frequently they should clean their dishwasher (once a month), change their bedding (every 18 to 24 months), and their luggage (every time they use it).
The hosts’ cleaning or taking a shower routines have amused discussion before, as seen in Tuesday’s segment.
In February, they got into a heated discussion about how frequently people should wash their clothes, and Roker responded with startled facial expressions as his coworkers discussed their washing practices.
Roker said during the February laundry dispute that “the average person perspires a cup of sweat every night.”.
Roker first mentioned his twice-daily showers on the Today show during a debate over whether to take a shower in the morning or at night in 2017, which is when the topic of showers first came up.
When Dryer mentioned that she takes a 20-minute shower, Roker questioned, “What are you doing in there, a crossword puzzle?”.
