I guess speaking of cultural bias, one other thing to note is that Europe and the US are not the only game in town anymore.

Japan and Korea, and probably in the future China, are big players in cosmetics and fashion these days, and those countries never had a big nudist culture and generally dislike tanning and nudity even more so. And their products are gaining ever greater market share in the West.

Of course. I was writing mostly from a European perspective.

Right, but even young European influencers today are often hawking Japanese and Korean cosmetics.

Our cultures are mixing together in this globalized world, and other stuff like K-pop is already big business in Europe.
