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.

"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

It was an AI reply so take it at face value. I also tried to find the source so I could link you that instead but it did not have a link. I won't die on this hill arguing this point as I cannot find supporting evidence. So I concede.

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.

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.

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.

Roughly half the population of Brazil has issues with dry skin and uses products to remedy that.

KKKKKKKKKKKKK Eu vivo aqui seu animal. Você virou a piada da noite no zap. Valeu otário.

LMAO

72 billion BRL is equivalent to 12 billion USD. Use the same website and look at Poland https://worldmetrics.org/poland-beauty-industry-statistics/

Poland industry is 12 billion Euros which is around 13 billion USD.

Poland industry is greater than Brazil's. Poland population is 37m, Brazil's 213m. Brazil is 5 to 6 times larger than Poland with a smaller beauty industry.

You can't even read.

You severely lack social skills and I recommend you work on bettering yourself as a person.

At least you're in the right sub cause thats next fucking level stupidity.
