[Patricia]

I am white and always use a scrunchie, loofa or washcloth when bathing. However, I would like to point out that however you are washing yourself, you are only getting rid of the surface dirt. Since moving to Turkey to run a travel agency with my Turkish husband, I have become happily acquainted with the ‘Hamam,’ or Turkish Bath. This is definitely one of the best things ever in my life, and I go whenever I have the chance. I don’t feel clean anymore unless I go to one at least every few months.

During a Turkish bath, you first sweat heavily to lose toxins and soften up the skin. Then you are scrubbed with a coarse woolen mitt, which removes enormous, scary gobs of dead gray skin. Truly disgusting-looking. Now I realize how very dirty I always was before. I read about some hamams in America, and I encourage everybody to go. It is incredibly relaxing.

Anyhow, my point is that I don’t think it really matters if you just use soap or use something to scrub, it won’t get the whole job done. But I really do think that using something to scrub is preferable to using nothing. My white girlfriends at home use scrubby things, and I know at least some of my white guy friends use washcloths, but I don’t know about them all.
