Use a loofah, sponge, or hand towel to gently scrub your entire body, removing dead skin cells and dirt. Remember to replace these items regularly as they can easily harbor bacteria. If you don’t want to wash your hair every day, then invest in a shower cap and wash your body with soap and water. If you don’t have time to shower, then use a hand towel to rinse your face, underarms, and genitals at the end of the day.
Take your skin type into account when choosing a face cleaner. If you have very dry skin, avoid products that has high alcohol content, as this will further dry out your skin. If you have very sensitive skin, opt for hypo-allergenic products that contain less harsh chemicals. If you wear a lot of makeup, find a cleanser that also specializes in removing makeup. Otherwise, buy a separate makeup remover and remove all makeup before washing your face at the end of the day.
To keep your gums extra strong, carry around a travel-sized toothbrush and toothpaste and brush your teeth in between meals. Floss your teeth every night to prevent the gum disease gingivitis.
If you choose not to wear deodorant on a daily basis, then consider wearing it on the days when you plan on sweating excessively, or for special occasions. Apply deodorant before playing sports, going to the gym, or attending a formal occasion. If you don’t wear deodorant, then rinse your underarms with soap and water throughout the day to remove unpleasant odor.
Remove any stains from your clothing before wearing them. Iron out wrinkles, and use a lint-remover to remove unwanted lint and hair from clothing.
Use an orange stick to remove dirt from underneath the fingernails to prevent bacterial infections.
Consider keeping a hand sanitizer with you at all times in case you do not have direct access to soap and water.
Consider using eco-friendly cleaning products that contain less harsh chemicals than the conventional brands. Always wipe your shoes on a doormat before entering the home. Consider taking your shoes off and leaving them at the door before entering the home, and asking guests to do the same. This will prevent the spread of dirt and mud throughout the house.
