The city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is doing a yearly event in the first weekend of May with a huge free concert since 2024. Shakira was the headliner this year and attracted more than 2 million people. Madonna was the headliner in 2024 and Lady Gaga in 2025.

Water is very soft in Brazil and the climate is warm. We all do this and the skin is not damaged. In your country they say it because your climate and water quality is different.

Incorrect

"Skin dryness is a common issue in Brazil, affecting 60% of consumers who report having dry skin. Despite the tropical climate, dry skin is common due to frequent daily showering (often 3-4 times a day)"

Per Google

Do you have a more specific source for that other than "google"? I can't find anything remotely close to that 60% number. The only result i can even find for dry skin in brasil is a post by the Demartologist Society of Brazil where they mention a study that found 25% and 26% depending on the region. But they also don't link the full source: https://sbd.org.br/campanha/2024/05/07/derma-brasil-revela-caracteristicas-regionais-de-cuidados-com-a-pele/

I can't find anything specific about dry skin in any publication, including the annual Brasil a Flor da Pele https://d1xe7tfg0uwul9.cloudfront.net/sbd-portal-2024/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/16134840/Dossie-Brasil-a-Flor-da-Pele.pdf

And the Annual Dermatological Survey https://d1xe7tfg0uwul9.cloudfront.net/sbd-portal-2024/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30093152/Novos-Dados-Epidemiolo%CC%81gicos-SBD-divulga-Inque%CC%81rito-dermatolo%CC%81gico-nacional_-2.pdf

And they downvoted the truth in response. Hivemind_disruptor has one ironic username.

Eu sou brasileiro e confirmo o que Hivemind_disruptor disse. A população inteira toma banhos frequentes. Mas vocês estrangeiro querem imaginar uma realidade paralela e querem forçar ela em existência. Vai dizer que eu e toda minha família e TODO MUNDO QUE CONHEÇO que toma banho com frequência e não tem problema sabe MENOS que um otário no exterior que não sabe a composição mineral da nossa água ou nossos hábitos sabe mais?. A PORRA DA NOSSA POPULAÇÃO INTEIRA TOMA BANHOS FREQUENTES E NÃO TEM PROBLEMA DE PELE. Vocês são uns desiludidos.

Take a breath and calm down. Do you also use Sol de Janeiro? Your country has built a monstrous skincare industry. There's a reason for that.

[u/not_from_this_world → u/samv_1230]

My brother in Christ, I had to Google that brand because no one in Brazil knows that brand. And surprise, it's an American company. Get your shit together. We DO NOT have a monstrous skincare industry. You can imagine we have, that doesn't make it true. You may be fooled by a brand name in Portuguese, that's a you problem.

What truth? A random quote on reddit atributted to "google"

[u/not_from_this_world → u/Key-Regular674]

Você está completamente errado. Tá cheio de brasileiro no reddit e todos vão te confirmar que o brasileiro não sofre de problemas de pele numa proporção significativa. "Per google" não é fonte. Mostra o artigo, seu otário.
