According to the article, a daily shower may actually be bad for an individual's health.

Some of the reasons that were given

Bathing frequently would result in dry skin, which may allow bacteria and allergens to breach the barrier the skin is expected to provide results in skin infection.

Also, antibacterial soaps, according to the write-up, can kill off normal bacteria in that it would upset the microorganism balance of the skin and encourage the emergence of less friendly ones, resistant to antibiotics.

Finally, the immune system requires a certain amount of stimulation by normal microorganisms and dirt in order to produce protective antibodies.

@heiressjacinta probably had these reasons in mind, or it was just one of her jokes.
