    They probably think that the natural oils in the skin help prevent dry skin. But at a certain point, those oils just collect grime and bacteria which can get into the pores and cause acne.

    Some people just don't need it, especially if they shave their pits. Showering every other day isn't necessarily being filthy. You still wash your hands, your face, your arms, feet and during wiping you can wash that up, too. Just dob on some soap with a bunch on toilet paper, wet the tp and wipe. Repeat if necessary and give a courtesy flush.

    Obviously she doesn’t wear makeup if she doesn’t wash her face every day but just twice a month?? That’s not often enough - use a cotton pad with micellar water to see how grimy your face gets

    When asked about the smelliest actor he’s ever worked with, Timothée Chalamet left everyone hanging by telling BBC Radio 1, "I'm not gonna say any names 'cause, you know, that would just be mean. But I did work on a Western years ago, and somebody was 'in character' the whole time, and, uh, it was something. It was quite something on set…They just weren't washing...I was there for two months, but they were really committed." In his career, Chalamet has only appeared in one Western movie called Hostiles and to narrow down the potential pool of suspects even more, his co-stars were well known method actors Christian Bale and Ben Foster.

In response to his comments, Lawrence said on Hot Ones, "It was not intentional. It was just, like, what I was eating, and then we'd kiss. Like, he should just, you know, get over it."
