Q&A for How to Be Hygienic

Our fingers can work in this scenario. Be sure to thoroughly wash your hands, place some toothpaste on the tip of a finger and brush your teeth in circular motions.

Try to use a little less of each product to make it last. See what happens if you only use half the shampoo or toothpaste you usually do. You can always add more if it doesn't seem like it's enough, but most people use more than they need out of habit. Also, bar soap tends to cost less and last longer than shower gel. A dollar store can be a great place to find low-cost care products if you have one in your area. Some food banks also stock personal care items. Teach yourself how to cut your own hair, or ask a family member. There are many videos about cutting your own hair online.

Make a to do list and check off everything you have done and keep up with -- it really helps.

Shower or bathe everyday. Wear deodorant. Wash your face twice daily if you are starting to get acne. Brush and floss your teeth. Wash your hair regularly. Wear clean clothes and underwear. If you are a female and have started menstruating, then make sure to change your pad/tampon regularly (preferably every 2-4 hours). Have regular doctor and dentist checkups. Drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep, exercise and eat healthily for overall well being. Try to eliminate any negative stress in your life, and enjoy your youth. You should not consume alcohol, smoke, or do drugs. Talk with a trusted adult if you have any questions or concerns.

Wash the under parts of a uniform (shirts, t-shirts, underpants) every night, dry and iron them. Then when you wake up in the morning, your uniform is nice and clean, ready to wear. Wash the outerwear weekly (tunic, sweater, skirt, pants, shorts, etc.). It is a good idea to have five shirts/t-shirts, two skirts/pants, two tunics/dresses and one or two sweaters if possible, to allow you to change them each day and give the other outwear a rest. Dresses and pants should be washed more regularly if it is hot weather.

Don't linger in the shower, use a combination shampoo/conditioner and shave while you are in the shower to save time. Taking small steps each day will increase your hygiene and save you time in the long run.

For starters, don't use Q-tips inside your ear canal, as this can push the wax further back into your ear. Wash your ears lightly in the shower (but avoid getting too much water inside the ear, for obvious reasons). Ear drops that dry out the ear can help. When you think or know you have excess wax in your ear, get a ear wax kit from a drug store and follow the instructions.

Wash your hands every time you change your tampon/pad and when you go to the toilet. Change the sanitary ware regularly. Wear clean clothes daily. Shower each night.

Shower at least once a day. If you are exercising or if you sweat a lot, you might have to do it twice a day. Wear a mixture of deodorant and antiperspirant. It will keep you fresh longer. Wear some body spray and maybe some scented body wash and lotion can do the trick. Wash your hair regularly.

You do not have to remove body hair to be clean. If you feel better with waxing or shaving, that's great, but it doesn't make you more hygienic.

You have to change your clothing every single day. After bathing at night or evening is best. Even though one may only be at home, he's still exerting activity.

Soap, water and some good perfume. If you're not at home, get some vagisil wipes and clean your female areas to eliminate the smell. Bring a change of underwear and some panty liners so that if there is any spillage it won't ruin your underwear and you can just put a new pair on.

By using water in the shower. You can also buy ear cleaning kits from a local drugstore.

No, you can shower whenever in the day you want to. However, I would suggest showering in the morning to get you fresh and ready for the day.

Yes. In fact, it can actually be bad for your skin to shower every day as it eliminates natural oils, disrupting natural processes that occur on your skin, hair, and nails. Showering more frequently can also cause dryness and damage to your hair. Some people prefer to shower daily as part of a routine, but many people only need to shower 2-3 times a week, especially if you are sedentary (e.g. not active, sitting in school, not participating in any sports, not exercising regularly during the day, not sweating from exertion).

As a woman, wiping comes down to toilet paper and in the shower. Make sure that after you use the restroom, you wipe from front to back to prevent spreading bacteria to the vagina. In the shower, just go over the general area with a wash cloth; the inside cleans itself, no need to worry. Change your underwear twice a day, once in the morning and once before you go to bed. For a man, just wash the area with a wash cloth in the shower and change underwear regularly.

Wash daily and use an antiperspirant. Avoid over heating and wear natural fibers.

No, shaving pubic hair doesn't really have any effect on your health.

Use a very mild yet strong shampoo, of course, that smells good! Then use softening conditioner after rinsing the shampoo out. When you dry your hair with a dryer, put it on high and cold wind. This will condition it properly. Your hair should be soft now, then use a good detangler. You should have smooth hair in no time! Try repeating this procedure at least three times a week. If it still smells, then start increasing the number of times you do it.

Use warm water to rinse your face, making sure to wash away all traces of your cleanser and scrub. Use a towel to pat your face dry. Try not to rub your face when you dry it, since this can encourage wrinkles and irritate the skin. Apply toner for a smooth appearance.

Because bathing is essential. It removes dead skin, dirt, bad smells, etc. It would be extremely difficult for you to be considered hygienic if you never bathed.

Throw used towels into your tumble dryer for extra longevity, but wash them at least weekly if you aren't a complete mess. If you shower once a week, then wash your towels at least monthly, although bacterial build up will probably wipe you out before then.

Wash your face daily and keep your pores unclogged.

As long as you're still using soap, that's fine.

You should consult your doctor immediately to figure out how to remove them, as well as what caused them in the first place.

Teach it. After years of research, I have found that explaining why something is the way it is is one of the most beneficial ways to understand formulas and equations and so on.

Obsessive feelings should be discussed with your doctor.

It's best to shower every day and at least wash your body, but you can wash your hair every 2-3 days if it's not too dirty. If you have sensitive skin or aren't prone to body odor, you could probably get away with showering every other day.

The box you bought the tampon from typically has an explanation on the inside. If that is lost, seek out someone you know and trust - whether a friend or parent figure.

Well, that's a tough one. Most people think that stuff is "gross", or "icky", so it's hard to talk about. You might create a website promoting personal hygiene. A website is a great way for people who are shy about asking certain questions to get information. Also, you could have a fundraiser for hygiene products.
