I agree about excessive bathing and showering. I don't do that myself. But I'm interested in what you consider 'basic hygiene'. There are arguments about 'washing' where that is concerned, too.
The thing about make-up is that its like anything else we 'put on' whether it be clothes, jewellery, tattoos. Its a choice. It doesn't necessarily do any damage. There are a lot worse things in the world than make-up. What do you think about tribal make-up? Is it a bad thing?
When we were on holiday this year the heat and humidity was such that we both showered at least 4 times a day, not out of vanity but need. I work with a couple of people who don't clean very often and the smell is awful, I never want to be like that so hygiene for me is top priority.
