Recent surveys have revealed the average frequency of daily baths in some countries. While in Latin America, led by Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, people take 8 to 12 baths a week, in the vast majority of countries affected, the average is around 6 to 8. Bathing, throughout human history, involves health, religious, spiritual and even social aspects.
What we have today as an individual habit of hygiene and preparation for socialization was once both a collective and sinful act. The oldest records regarding bathing come from the Egyptians. For them, bathing was sacred, a way to purify their soul and honor their gods. Bathing took place in a collective space and was a social activity that also involved the use of natural oils and creams.
