Body and Personal Hygiene

Personal hygiene is important for healthy living and social reasons as well. A healthy body and good hygiene lower the risk of diseases in an individual. It also shows how much you care about your own body and helps in enhancing self-confidence and self-esteem.

Personal hygiene includes:

Clear Skin:

It is always advisable that one should have a proper skincare routine i.e., a.m and p.m. routine. Everyone has a different type of skin, therefore everyone should use products as per their skin types so that they don’t suffer from severe skin conditions. I would advise that drink plenty of water and have salad in your diet to keep your skin healthy.

Teeth:

It is always a good habit to brush your teeth twice a day and do flossing whenever you feel like, as it ensures nothing is left in your teeth which might result in tooth decay or foul odor. You can even visit the doctor once every six months for better oral hygiene. Make sure you clean your tongue too while brushing your teeth as it helps in removing bad breath from mouth.

Hair:

Do wash your hair twice a week at least depending upon your scalp condition. Take a fine haircut as per your face shape and learn one or two hairstyles as per your face shape so that you can wear as per your wish. Also, apply the serum on your hair to get rid of frizziness and apply masque ones every 20 days for better hair health. Also, add some vitamins into your daily routine to prevent hair fall.

Face:

Always apply a good amount of sunscreen, to prevent your skin from sun damage and carry a scarf as well whenever you go out in the sun as the sun can damage your skin and hair with its harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Makeup:

I also recommend you learn basic makeup so that you can make yourself look presentable at small events and get together.

Nails and hands:

Keep your nails well-groomed, you can cut and file them on your own or could go for a basic manicure. Apply a decent color nail paint to give your nails a more finished look, similarly apply a decent amount of moisturizer on your hands so that it remains moisturized and soft.

Body Hair:

Always shave your body and get rid of extra hairs from your body, also get your eyebrows and upper lips threading done on regular basis.

Feminine hygiene:

Maintain good hygiene of your private part by washing it with non-scented soap or vaginal wash, wear cotton underwear, sanitize toilet seat before using public toilets; This would prevent rashes and irritation.

Fragrance:

Use good perfume on your pulse points and apply deodorant or roll-on on your body.

Foot and toenails:

Always cut your toe-nails and scrub your feet to get rid of cracked heels, moisturize it well before going to bed.
