re: Do you use a wash cloth in the shower daily?

I have an experiment for you. At the end of the day, wash your face with just your hands. Then immediately after that use a white wash cloth to wash your face. I guarantee you the wash cloth will now be an off white color from dirt/oil that's still on your skin.

You know it's not good to completely strip your body's oil off of your skin, right?

For those that don’t know, there is a “social narrative” that goes like this…

-white people, and upper class people, do not use wash cloths
-black people, and poorer people, use wash cloths

I was not aware of this until last night, but a little googling has me kind of up-to-speed on this conversation, which I find fascinating.

Hence, my original post to inquire.

I have heard this too.

I have never heard that. Is there some background story on that? What did upper class people use? Or does it not count if someone else scrubs you with a cloth royalty/bather style?

You’re really dirty

I said in OP… and this conversation with my friend last night is absolutely a true story. This is something I have never even thought of before. I fully admit I DO NOT use a wash cloth in the shower. Maybe I’m wrong or right but I don’t

Of course I began questioning if I’ve been bathing correctly or incorrectly my entire life

There is a LOT incorrect about your life... Inadequate showering is just one of them.
