Sometimes it's not actually dirt, but just dried sweat and oil from your skin. Maybe you have bad feeling's about having grown up poor, underprivileged and lacking in certain basic necessities?
When I was young I had terrible, and even disfiguring acne for which I was bullied in the seventh grade. Now whenever I walk into a room I'm usually very aware of the skin color and texture of every person in the room. I know there are those who have had it and do have it much worse, but I always notice the slightest bit of redness in my skin. I would love to have a smooth and flawless porcelain complexion, but alas it was not meant to be. The funny thing is that now that I'm almost fifty I have gotten compliments on my skin, and even had someone accuse me of having good skin, because apparently I look much younger than I am, but I stay out of the sun and drink plenty of water.
What I'm trying to say essentially is that I think if we're traumatized by difficult circumstances when we are young and impressionable it's possible that we may never quite get over it.
I cannot get clean and cannot use white towels.
