This feels like the equivalent of a sniff test.
While they always look squeaky clean on red carpets, turns out Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher aren’t so friendly with a bar of soap when they don’t have to be! During an episode of the Armchair Expert podcast , the parents revealed they don’t bathe their kids every day!
The curious convo started when Dax Shepard explained he’s been trying to convince his co-host Monica Padman to not “be getting rid of the natural oil on your skin with a bar of soap every day” while showering. Instead, he urged the 33-year-old to stick to just water on occasion, which Mila and Ashton 100% agreed with!

Shocked, Padman joked:
“I can’ t believe I am in the minority here associated with washing my whole body in the particular shower. Who taught you to not wash? ”
Turns out, the Friends with Benefits star didn’t have much regarding a choice growing up since hot water wasn’t a privilege she was always granted. The particular 37-year-old explained:
“I didn’ t have hot water growing up as the child, so I didn’ t shower much anyway. ”
Though that trend didn’t stop once she could afford a steamy shower upon the daily… or when she had kids (daughter Wyatt , 6, and son Dimitri , 4) to take care of! The momma continued:
“But when I had children, I also didn’ to wash them every day. I wasn’ t that parent that bathed my newborns — ever. ”
Knowing how messy babies get, we see why it would feel like a waste of time! And according to the Mayo Clinic , it can also be unhealthy for a baby to get lathered in soap too often as it “can dry out his or her skin. ” So maybe she was actually doing the right thing, even if it goes against what most people believe!?
While a supporter of minimal rinses these days, the Parenthood alum did admit he and Kristen Bell used to bathe their daughters Lincoln , 8, and Delta , 6, every day because it was “part of a nighttime routine. ” Make sense! However, that’ s definitely fallen off typically the bandwagon now that the kids are older. Understanding that, Mila chimed in:
“That’ s how we really feel about our children. ”
But wanting to make one thing very clear, Ashton added:
“Now, here’ s the thing: If you can see this dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there’ s no point. ”
LOLz! Typically the That ‘70s Show alum didn’t want listeners thinking his little ones were just walking around like stink bugs…
As this turns out, the A-listers aren’t wrong to hold off about the bath time rituals. This American Academy involving Dermatology Association furthermore agrees with this method, suggesting in their website that kids between 6 to 11 “may not need a daily bath, ” but should get clean at least once or twice a week.

Makes you wonder how many times the actors are sudsing up themselves, right? Well, the 43-year-old entrepreneur clarified:
“I wash my armpits and my crotch daily, and nothing else actually. I got a bar connected with Lever 2000 that delivers every period. Nothing else. ”
They’ re also big fans of daily face-washing, often the No Strings Attached lead concluded:
“I do have a tendency to throw some water on my face after a new workout to get all the salts out. ”
His wife goes one step further, sharing:
“I do wash my face twice a day. ”
Better than nothing!
