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.

Question

I always wash my face twice a day. One in the morning and one before I go to bed. Should I change my habit and wash once after I reach home instead of washing it before I go to bed?

Community Answer

It depends on your skin. If you notice that your skin is very oily after school, you may want to wash it after school and then once before bedtime. Take note of your skin. If it's drying out a lot, reduce the number of times that you wash it.

Question

What to do if your private parts stink?

Community Answer

Make sure to clean them every time you shower or bathe. Go over them wish soap and a washcloth. If you have foreskin, you will need to clean under it. Talk to your parents or a doctor to learn how to do this.

Question

Why do I need to clip my nails as soon as they start getting white?

Community Answer

Long nails have a greater chance of capturing dirt and bacteria under them. Clipping your nails will prevent this.

Question

How do you prevent bad habits?

Community Answer

If you notice that you keep forgetting to do something specific, make a note for yourself so that you remember to do it. Keep the note with you, or somewhere that's visible so that it's a constant reminder of what you need to do.
