Proper personal hygiene requires you to take care of your body to prevent illness and keep your body healthy and clean. Practicing good personal hygiene can also prevent the spread of germs to others. Personal hygiene does not always refer to keeping your body clean, but also extends to the spaces where you live and work. Skin Shower every day to cleanse the skin using a mild soap. The skin is the largest organ of your body and needs to be washed and moisturized frequently. Cleansing the skin will wash away bacteria and prevent infections. Everyday moisture will keep the skin soft and healthy. Use a mild cleanser to wash your face twice a day. Your face is more likely to dry out if you use a harsh soap. Also, use moisturizer on your face, depending on your skin type. Hair It is not necessary to wash your hair every day, as washing too often removes the natural oils that are essential for keeping the hair healthy. If your daily activities cause excessive sweating, then daily washing is recommended. Choose a shampoo that is recommended for your hair type. For instance, don’t use shampoo made for dry hair if your hair is oily. When washing your hair, massage the scalp to stimulate healthy growth and wash away dirt, oil, and dandruff. Use a gentle, conditioner at least twice a week. Keeping the scalp and hair clean prevents any excess oil. Teeth Studies estimate that 75 percent of people in the world suffer from some form of dental disease. Brushing daily and flossing can reduce the risk of any permanent damage, including tooth loss. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Your teeth are exposed to harmful foods and beverages every day that cause tooth decay. These acidic foods and beverages break down the enamel that protects your teeth. Brushing your teeth will give you fresh breath and a confident smile.

Clean your home because having a clean home makes you more relaxed and productive.
