Fashion, trend or whatever, in Hollywood it has been imposed not to bathe.

The position generates controversy and conflicting opinions about the frequency with which to shower.

The couple of

Mila Kunis

and

Ashton Kutcher

threw the first stone, last week, commenting that they only bathe their children, 6 and 4 years old, when they are visibly dirty and that they do not always use soap.

As Dax Shepard revealed on his

Armchair Expert

podcast

, Kunis said that she is used to not bathing every day since she was a child, because in Ukraine, where she was born, she did not have hot water.

For his part, Kutcher assured that for him it is only necessary to wash the armpits and the crotch daily.

They were joined by Shepard himself and his wife, actress Kristen Bell, who agree with this position.

It's the way the body lets you know that you need to wash, "said Bell, who also clarified that he stopped using deodorants and other products that contain chemical elements because they damage the skin.

"Biology marks the natural times when the body needs to be sanitized," Shepard added.

The statements of these celebrities generated a true revolution in social networks, with opinions in favor and against that position, as well as dozens of jokes on the subject.

To such an extent that several dermatology specialists came out to say that the excessive use of soaps and chemicals on the skin is not recommended.

And even the Association of the American Academy of Dermatology noted on its website that children ages 6 to 11 "don't need a daily bath," but they do recommend bathing at least once or twice a week.

The latest to join this trend is actor Jake Gyllenhaall, who declared himself little adept at the daily shower and said that he only uses natural sponges.

"I find bathing less and less necessary," he said in an interview.

"There is a whole world in not bathing, but with certain limits," he clarified.

"Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere, so I do. But I think not bathing is really helpful for skin maintenance, and we wash naturally as well."

Another Hollywood star, Bradley Cooper, appears to be halfway there.

The actor admitted that he showers about three times a day, but he does so to avoid bad smells from not using deodorants.

Against

Dwayne Johnson.

On the opposite side is Dwayne Johnson, "The Rock", who from his social networks spoke out against this trend of the rich and famous to flee the bathroom and daily hygiene.

"I shower with cold water when I get out of bed to start the day. I shower with warm water after my workout, before work. I shower with hot water after I get home from work. Face, body, scrub and I sing (out of tune) in the shower ”, he explained.

The actor recounted his daily cleaning routine when responding to a follower on Twitter who wanted to know his opinion on the matter.

"It is not possible that Dwayne Johnson is one of those stinkers, we would all be strangely heartbroken if we knew otherwise," wrote the follower.

And the actor's response was immediate, as well as making his position clear.
