Steps

Method 1 of 3: Clean the body

1. 

   Brush teeth. You should brush your teeth several times a day. Most dental hygienists recommend brushing your teeth twice a day, after breakfast and before bed. This will help prevent cavities, gum disease and bad breath. Do not forget to floss your teeth every day so that general oral hygiene is best done.
   • Try a fluoride toothpaste - which helps to firm and strengthen your teeth. You can also use fluoridated mouthwashes.
   • When brushing your teeth, don't forget the rest of your mouth. Without the tongue, palate or inner cheek, harmful bacteria can accumulate and lead to dental hygiene problems. Move the brush around all surfaces in your mouth and rub your tongue with your brush each time you brush your teeth.
   • Change the brush every three months. As a result, the brush can bring the most effective oral hygiene.
   • See your dentist regularly. Twice per year is usually recommended by most dentists. However, your dentist will likely recommend a personalized appointment that works for you.

2. 

   
   
   Floss your teeth every day. Besides brushing, dental floss should be done every day. Thanks to that, it contributes to repelling bad breath and tooth decay. Every day, you should pull the floss through each interstitial, all over the edges, including molars.
   • Don't floss your gums - it can bleed and no one wants it.
   • If your gums are bleeding while flossing, you may have an underlying dental problem and should see your dentist.

3. 

   
   
   Use mouthwash. One of the ways to have fresh breath all day is by using a mouthwash. It helps in preventing bacteria and at the same time, fighting tooth decay. Rinse your mouth every time you brush your teeth. After eating, if you can't brush your teeth, mouthwash can also be used to get rid of the smell that is left in the mouth.
   • Do not use mouthwash as a substitute for brushing your teeth or prevent the underlying cause of bad breath. It only works to add a cool aroma to the breath and aids in other oral hygiene measures.

4. 

   
   
   Hand washing. To maintain personal hygiene, wash your hands often. Insufficient hand washing is one of the most common mistakes in hygiene. Hand washing needs to be done in some common situations: after using the toilet, sneezing, before preparing food or drinks, before eating and after using objects that are used by many people. . Thanks to that, you are always clean and help stop the spread of bacteria and germs.
   • When washing, you should brush with warm water and rub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Be sure to rub each finger and fingernails. Thanks to that, soap has time to destroy all the pathogens present in the hand. Wash off soap with warm water and dry with a disposable towel or dryer.
   • If you want to further prevent the spread of germs, sneeze into your elbows to shield your nose and mouth more. At the same time, keep your hands free of germs.

5. 

   Use a wet towel. Disposable towels are no longer a children's product. If you feel a bit dirty and you can't bathe, use a wet washcloth to clean your body. Wet towels are also a good choice for cleaning after using the toilet.
   • You can find this product in the grocery or department store. They are located in an adult / child sanitary product area.

6. 

   Take a shower regularly. For a clean, healthy, and pleasant smell, take a daily shower or bath or twice a day. This is the best way to prevent unwanted body odor and the accumulation of bacteria or pathogens on the skin. Some recent studies suggest that taking a day off after a few days of continuous baths is beneficial for the skin and helps promote the growth of good bacteria. Wash your entire body, including your feet and behind your ears.
   • If you go to the gym, travel by public transport, or interact with sick people every day, you should bathe every day to avoid spreading germs and stay clean.
   • Make sure your belly button is clean. That may be a spot you often miss, but countless odor-causing bacteria grow out of it.
   • If body odor is a constant concern, talk to your doctor about using an anti-microbial shower gel.

7. 

   Shampoo. You should wash your hair 2-3 times per week. For most people, washing it every day can damage hair. If you wash it daily, your hair can lose its natural oils, break and damage. When your hair is too oily, you may need to wash it every day.
   • The recommended number of shampoos per week may vary from person to person. Be aware of the smell of your hair and notice how oily it is. Test your hair to determine how often to wash your hair.
   • If you exercise, attend a sporting event, or any other activity that causes your scalp to sweat a lot, wash more often.

8. 

   Wash your face. Washing your face every morning and night is part of good hygiene. Thanks to that, wash off any dirt that has accumulated on the face during the day and the oil that has accumulated overnight. It also removes makeup, moisturizer or sunscreen that is used throughout the day. Washing your face helps prevent acne, giving you a cleaner, fresher look every day.
   • Choose the right cleanser. Everyone's skin is not the same, so try it on until you find the right cleanser for you. If you need help, talk to your doctor / pharmacist. They can help you determine the right options for your skin type.
   • You should moisturize after washing your face. Thanks to that, preventing dryness, irritation and at the same time, enhancing skin health.

9. 

   Change cleaning products often during menstruation. If you are a woman and are menstruating, you need to change hygiene products (like tampons or tampons) often so they don't spill and stick to your body or underwear. If that happens, you should wash your body thoroughly or use a wet towel to keep it clean until showering.
   • Changing cleaning products regularly will help you feel cleaner and at the same time, prevent odors on your body.
   • If you find yourself smelling a little during your period, you can use a deodorant spray specifically designed for these situations. Follow the directions on the bottle. Do not spray directly on the genital area as they can cause irritation.

Method 2 of 3: Prevent odors

1. 

   Use deodorants. When your body is sweating every day, so as not to smell bad, you should use deodorants. Deodorant covers and prevents unpleasant odors of sweat, keeping the body cleaner. You can also use an antiperspirant - it helps prevent sweating and, if so, dries up sweat. Many brands are antiperspirants / deodorizers combinations.
   • There are different types of deodorants and antiperspirants, some for women and some for men. You can choose any of these, as long as they give you the best results. Some odors may be too strong or inconsistent with the body's chemistry. Try it out until you find a delicate product that leaves you dry and has a pleasant smell.
   • If you have trouble sweating too much or still have problems with body odor despite good hygiene, talk to your doctor. Chances are, you have an underlying medical condition that requires treatment.

2. 

   Avoid using strong scents. You want your body to have a pleasant scent. However, overuse is just as bad as not using it. Choose a scent that is pleasant but not overpowering. When using a relatively strong odor, use it in moderation, just enough for someone else to smell it without becoming overly strong.
   • Do not use a spray bottle to cover up body odor. Instead, they should be used to help you smell good. You should find and deal with the causes of your body odor instead of trying to cover it up.

3. 

   Take a shower and change clothes. To maintain good personal hygiene, it is recommended to change clothes every day. You should also wash your clothes regularly to keep them clean and fresh. Except for socks and underwear, most clothes can be worn at least twice per wash. However, if the clothes have an unpleasant odor, wash them before wearing them.
   • Any workout, whether it's playing sports or during activities that cause you to sweat a lot, should be washed after each use.

4. 

   Change bed sheets weekly. Changing to bed is just as important as changing clothes regularly. At night, you sweat and dead skin cells slough off from your body. Over time, they can accumulate in bed. When you change it regularly, you don't take the risk of sleeping on dead skin every night or letting the smell of sweat from the night before seep into your skin while you are sleeping.
   • You should change the pillowcase more often. Compared to the rest of the body, your facial skin produces more oil and maybe, you drool when you sleep too - they'll build up on your pillow.

5. 

   Use deodorant powder on your feet. Wet, smelly feet can also lead to infections, such as ringworm.Using a drying or antifungal powder on your feet and sprinkling them in your shoes can help maintain dryness and prevent foot germs.

6. 

   Pay attention to what you eat. Certain foods and drinks can cause body odor. For a fresh, fresh body odor, avoid foods with a strong smell like garlic or onions. If you like these foods and prepare to go out, be sure to brush your teeth or rinse after eating. advertisement

Method 3 of 3: Compilation

1. 

   Nail clippers. When not neatly trimmed, dirt and germs can accumulate under the nail. Long fingernails also make it difficult to maintain general hygiene. You should trim your nails with nail clippers or scissors when they're too long, out of shape, or untidy.
   • Try to keep your nails as dry and clean as possible. Otherwise, you could have a bacterial infection, and your nails frequently get wet, which are ideal environments for bacteria to grow.
   • For healthier nails, regularly keep your nails moist by applying lotion to the cuticles and horny layers.
   • Do not cut or prune the cuticles. They work to protect the nail horn.

2. 

   Comb. For a well-groomed look, you should brush your hair daily, untangle it and make it look smooth, healthy. It also works to distribute natural oils, helping to promote hair health. At the same time, cleanse and irritate the scalp.
   • Don't brush your hair too much. It can break your hair and actually do more harm than good for your hair.
   • If you have natural hair, use your fingers or a wide tooth comb to untangle it before you brush it to avoid breaking your hair.

3. 

   Shave certain areas. Too much hair in some areas can lead to body odor or make you appear messy. Shaving or controlling hair or hair can be an effective cleaning technique as it allows more air to contact the skin, helping to reduce the amount of odor in that area. Shaving or tidying off also helps to highlight certain areas. However, it is a personal choice and you should do what makes you feel comfortable.
   • Areas commonly handled include the armpits, chest, legs, genitals, and face. Shaving underarms and shaving or controlling genital hair can help reduce body odor. These areas often sweat a lot and are not properly cared for, and an unpleasant odor can form in the hair.
   • Controlling or shaving chest, legs and facial hair is optional. If you don't feel comfortable, you can skip this option.
   • Shave gently in the direction of the hair growth. Use shaving gel or foam to avoid skin irritation.

4. 

   Remove unwanted hair. In some parts of the body, hair grows not thick enough to shave. In this case, you may need to remove it to maintain personal hygiene. It is usually on the cheeks, neck and eyebrows. Hair can be grown in the wrong place anywhere on the body.
   • Both men and women have this problem. The location may not be the same, but overall, the processing needs are the same.
   • To pluck out unwanted hair, use tight tweezers and pull it out. Continue until all has been processed.
