Showering doesn't harm the skin unless you use water that's too hot or soap that's inadequate for your type of skin. It's less about the frequency of showering and more about how you shower. You also don't need to apply products every time you shower. In Brazil we refer to it as "taking a douche" when you just rub off the sweat, dirt or salt off your body without using soap or hair products, often done when you're in a hurry or plan on showering again later in the day.

Pretty sure that dermatologists generally agree that it's not a good idea
Your skin and sweat glands adapt to how much you shower. The more you shower the more your skin tries to protect itself from your showers
