It not only keeps our bodies clean and fresh, but it also reduces our chances of developing illnesses or infections and getting rid of unpleasant body odor. A person's health is inextricably linked to his or her hygiene. This is something that everyone should be aware of. Whereas a healthy lifestyle is associated with a high level of personal cleanliness, poor personal hygiene can lead to an unfavorable lifestyle. As a result, it is essential for good health. It is also critical to practice good hygiene to avoid spreading the infection to others. Making contact with others, with unseen germs on your hands that we cannot see with our naked eyes, and coming into contact with contaminated surfaces or other things that are often a favorite breeding ground for germs and other bacteria. We can keep these bacteria at bay by taking regular baths and washing our hands with water and soap. The next product we should use is shampoo, but only once a week if your hair is extremely dry. Every other day is already enjoyable. Preventing dry and brittle hair is critical. It is preferable to shampoo your hair every two or three days. Your hair will thank you if you wash it twice or three times per week, but it will complain if you wash it too frequently. It's best to use chemical-free hair care products as much as possible to keep your hair strong and healthy. If you have dandruff, use Coconut oil or Aloe vera. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPFvWDtZmMtfzTfCXy82p3r7sfuTcQKcoone3kvv4G7Fn/image.png) [source](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/02/04/17/16/hairdresser-1179465_1280.jpg) It is also important to remember to brush one's teeth. The recommended number of times per day is three, but admit it, there are times when people forget to brush their teeth, especially when we are tired. However, keep in mind that skipping brushing your teeth encourages the growth of plaque or, to put it another way, the occurrence or build-up of bacteria. Colgate is the brand of toothpaste I use, and it is very inexpensive. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZRYxDMNoZHseZLPFzRtpAHJhf6uGC5uXTqXsjXdBQNC8/image.png) [source](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/02/27/13/09/brushing-teeth-2103219_1280.jpg) Wash our faces twice a day to keep them clean. Overdoing it is bad for our face, especially if we have sensitive skin. I'm not a dermatologist, but I recommend using a mild soap or, even better, a mild cleanser. Aloe vera is one of my favorite and most trusted remedy because it is gentle on the skin and keeps it hydrated. Simple face wash is a good option for a low-cost cleanser. It is acceptable to use soap such as Dove or other mild soap, but do not rub it directly on your face. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQfQwU5QJXzf9xYmdJP6ZpaKqoJQzgeeV9uyGgbW7yAo4/image.png) [source](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/08/10/01/02/child-2616679_1280.jpg) Overall, hygiene is extremely important. It directs and directs us toward a healthy lifestyle. So, don't be lazy, and if you haven't brushed your teeth yet, I recommend that you do so right now. After that, smile at yourself in the mirror and continue with your skincare routine if you have one.
