Hollywood stars such as Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher and Jake Gyllenhaal have caused quite a stir by preaching the benefits of infrequent bathing.

“Most of us would agree that sometimes if you’ve been out for a run or a walk … and it’s the middle of summer, you need to have a shower when you get home.”
