Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have a very particular way of sanitizing their children. In an interview, the actors said that they do not agree to use soap every day for the children's bath.
The topic came up during a talk on the Armchair Expert podcast by Dax Shepard and Monica Padman. The presenters talked about how often they take a shower. When the driver told his partner that she should only wash with water, Kunis and Kutcher agreed.
"I can't believe I'm in the minority when it comes to washing my whole body in the shower. Who taught them not to wash?” Padman asked. "I didn't have hot water when I was a kid, so I didn't take much showers anyway," Kunis replied.
Shepard said that he and his wife, fellow actress Kristen Bell, used to bathe their daughters Lincoln and Delta as "part of a nightly routine," but stopped doing so when the girls grew older.
The actress, for her part, referred to the way in which she sanitized her children when they were babies. Kunis and Kutcher are parents to 6-year-old Wyatt Isabelle and 4-year-old Dimitri Portwood. “When I first had kids I didn't bathe them every day either. I was never that mother who bathed my newborns,” she commented.
"That's how we feel about our children," Kunis added. Kutcher, in addition, sentenced: “That is the question; if you can see the dirt they have, only then you have to bathe them. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense."
The attitude for the hygiene of the children does not differ much from their own. Kunis and Kutcher told the Armchair Expert podcast that they don't use soap all over their bodies every day. “I wash my armpits and crotch every day and nothing else. I got the Lever 2000 brand that always works”, emphasized the protagonist of That ’70s Show about the use he gives to soap.
While showering isn't an everyday thing for the couple, Kunis and Kutcher emphasized that they do rinse their faces. "I have a tendency to throw a little water on my face after a workout to get all the salts out," the actor commented. "I wash my face twice a day," added the protagonist of The Rebel Mothers Club.
The performers have known each other for more than 20 years,
when they both worked on the sitcom That '70s Show. They were always friends
and each one had different partners, until in 2012, when they were single,
they connected in a different way. In 2015, in secret, they got married.
