HOW TO MAINTAIN GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE?
Knowing how to maintain good personal hygiene can make it easier to
buiild a routine. A persons should have some basic knowledge of the
following types of hygiene:
GENERAL HYGIENE:

!. Hand Washing- Most infections, especially colds and gastroenteritis, are

caught when we put our unwashed hands, which have germs on them, to
our mouth. Some infections are caught when other peaople’s dirty hands
touch the food we eat. Hands and wrists should be washed with clean
soap and water, using a brush if your fingernails are dirty.
GENERAL HYGIENE:
2. Dental Hygiene- Dentist say that the most important part of tooth care
happens at home; Brushing and flossing properly, along with regular checkups, can
help prevent tooth to decay and gum diseases. Practice good oral hygiene. Brush
teeth thoroughly twice a day and floss daily between the teeth to remove dental
plaque. Visit your dentist at least once a year, even if you have no natural teeth or
have dentures.
Replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or sooner if the bristles are
frayed. A worn toothbrush won’t do a good job of cleaning your teeth. The proper
brushing technique is to: Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the
gums,
Gently move the brush back and forth in short (tooth-wide) strokes, Brush the
outer surfaces, the inner surfaces, and the chewing surfaces of the teeth, To clean
the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several up-
and- down strokes.
GENERAL HYGIENE:
3.Body Hair- In new places is something you can count on-again. they are
hormones in action. You may want to start shaving some places where body hair
grows, but whether you do is up to you. Some guys who grew facial hair like to let it
develop into a mustache and beard. Some girls may decide to leave the hair on their
legs and under their arms as is it all up to you and what you feel comfortable with If
you decide to shave, whether you are a guy or a girl, you have a few different
choices. You can use a traditional razor with shaving cream or gel or you can use an
electric razor.
4.Oily Hair- Each strand of hair has it own sebaceous(oil) gland which keeps the
hair shiny and waterproof. But during puberty, when the sebaceous glands produce
extra oil, it can make your hair look too shiny, oily and greasy. Washing your hair
everyday or every other day can help control oily hair but If you wash your hair too
often, you can trigger an overproduction of those natural oils, creating excess sebum
production.
GENERAL HYGIENE:
5.Sweat and Body Odor- Perspiration, or sweat, comes from sweat
glands that you have always had in your body. But thanks to puberty, these
glands not only become more active than before, they also begin to secrete
different chemicals into the sweat that has a stronger smelling odor. You
might notice this odor under also have a new smells. The best way to keep
clean is to bathe or shower everyday using mild soap and warm water. This
will help wash away any bacteria that can contribute to the smell.

infections, but also about good general hygiene in the general area.

one of our priorities can significantly improve an individual’s emotional, physical,
mental well-being, as well as enhances their intimate relationships.

soreness. These areas need frequent washing to stop sweat from accumulationg,
