  • If it helps any, Americans are very over-obsessed with this whole daily bathing thing. This isn't a cleanliness issue - it's a cultural one. It is completely unnecessary to bathe every day unless you particularly dirty and need it. Even a doctor will tell you this. Also, bathing/showering daily washes away essential oils and helpful bacteria on your skin that protects you from free radicals and other nasty things. And it isn't good for your hair, either. Having said that, cleanliness IS important. It would be a good idea if your niece bathed at least every third day if not every other day, especially women. Would it be possible to take your niece on a casual outing to the mall or a drug store? Put her in a position where she can get excited about all the wonderful scents in the bath and beauty aisle! Perhaps she could help you sniff out a good scent for yourself to help start the process. Ask her what she thinks about one scent, then another. You would then know what she likes and you could buy it for her.
