Strange HISTORY Of Bathing (The Reason Why Celebrities Don't Shower!)

About this video

Centeno explores the science and history of bathing routines, addressing recent celebrity hygiene claims and examining which body parts self-clean versus require washing. He discusses how bathing norms vary by culture and historical period, and provides recommendations for ideal bathing frequency based on age, activity level, and skin condition.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that certain body parts like ears and eyes naturally clean themselves, while genitals and the buttocks area require daily washing for men
• Centeno explains that bathing frequency is determined by societal norms, living conditions, and access to water—noting that once-daily showering is the current US standard but this changed historically based on available resources
• Centeno recommends that ideal bathing frequency depends on age and activity level: babies need spot cleaning, children 2x weekly, active teenagers and young adults daily or twice daily, and less active or older adults can bathe every few days
• Centeno advises using gentle products that don’t strip away natural skin oils, and recommends his company Vitaman’s specialized hair and skin products for specific concerns like thinning hair, oily hair, and dandruff
