I feel like a lack of evidence shouldn't be taken as evidence to a lack thereof. Hygiene is one of those things that's just overlooked in a lot of stories, like characters needing to use the bathroom or something.
As for my characters, I feel like Shoshopu probably doesn't bathe more often than once every couple days. Bathing daily was probably far from convenient for her family growing up (given that they live on tents on top of tortoises and wander around the desert) but it's probably easier to hunt when you're not super stank. Not that she was one of the hunters, but her mother was from a merchant family too and they probably have higher standards that were imparted to her as well.
My elezen Eaubront probably at least runs some water through his hair as close to daily as possible. He's kind of vain that way and likes to keep it nice. Only tangentially related but I'd love to him to have a nice beard but the elezen don't have many good options there if you're not using the Old face... at the same time there's no shaving razors laying around, but you can still take all the smooth-faced NPCs running around as evidence that shaving is a common thing.
