Considering most of the responses here are from stinkies too, I’ll urge you all to bath everyday. Like with food, you have to look for good soaps/shampoos with an intelligible ingredient list. For example I use Beekman goat milk soap. No fragrances, no other bs than goat’s milk. Feels like lotion. I only exfoliate once, twice a week with a loufa. Cheap shit dries your skin/hair.
I do not think “intelligible ingredient list” is a good metric, just because a company chooses to put a wholesome* natural* kind of word on there instead of a scientific one has no bearing on if the ingredient is good or not.
*marketing terms with no agreed upon, let alone enforceable, definition
There are sites like ewg.org that’ll give you an idea about what’s considered safe to ingest or apply topically. Its telling when you have a laundry list of the composition of a shampoo. People then resort to “no poo” fads or spend their money trying to figure out why their skin reacts or hair dries.

Ethique shampoo bars are great. I used the anti frizz one.
