I personally think that the high-fat diets of Americans also contribute to the acne problems.

I've heard that too (i.e. drying out the skin) but shoot, the Europeans take it to an extreme. One of my friends was over there visiting for a month and the girl in her host family only washed her hair ONCE the whole time my friend was there.

I literally LMAO @ this.

My dermatologist told me to only shower every few days because as you age your body doesn't produce natural oils. I totally ignored him and just use more moisturizer. The whole idea just creeped me out.

Um, I brush my teeth BEFORE I go to the dentist, even if it means I have to get a brush there at the office, 10 minutes before my appointment.

I couldn't be a GYN. Some women just dont understand that their va-jay-jays need to be cleaned EVERY DAY.

Europeans are about the "natural" body smells. I didnt care for it as a kid when I lived there, and I KNOW I wouldn't care for it now. I mean, do you, but dont be mad if I limit my breathing around you and your funk.

Could the fact that we are maturing at earlier ages have something to do with the increased need for bathing?

Don't even remind me about the European stink. Bathing twice a week and just throw on some perfume on the off days. Add that into finding hair in odd places on a chick...it's enough to make a man go celibite.

Matthew Mc is HOT and it hurt my soul to find out that he's funkmaster flex.

I imagine he gets the anti-funk treatment on movie sets but is allowed to bask in his funk when he's not filming movies.

What makes me nuts are the people who all into being "natural" so they don't bathe and then they wear Patchouli. OMG! I get physically ill from the smell of Patchouli. Bleech!

Agreed!!!!!

well now I gotta ask: where?

three day old funk mixed with body spray does not equal clean.

Didn't the Europeans always have issues with their water sanitation that is why that "custom" developed? Showers are not abundant "ritual" as it is in our culture. It is beginning to be one. And the French use to make lavish perfumes--the real stuff--the oils and stuff broke on Jesus Christ's feet.

True story - a friend of mine was studying in Germany, and they thought he must have a skin disease because he bathed EVERY DAY.
