Basic hygiene routine that everyone should know -

body

standing in soapy shower water does not clean your feet. you have to actually wash them
dry between your toes. bacteria lives there and it causes the smell, not the sweat
behind your ears and your belly button, both collect grime and both get skipped constantly
deodorant needs dry skin to work. if you’re already sweating, it’s too late
sweat has no smell. bacteria does. covering it with more product doesn’t fix it
put lotion on while your skin is still a little damp after the shower. it actually absorbs instead of sitting on top

floss before you brush, not after. it breaks up the debris so brushing removes it
bad breath comes from your tongue, not your teeth. brush it, especially near the back
if someone offers you a mint, take it
rinse with water after coffee or anything sweet. you don’t need a toothbrush, just water
if canker sores keep coming back, try switching to an SLS-free toothpaste. a lot of people don’t know that’s what’s causing it

hot showers wreck your skin barrier over time. lukewarm
moisturize right when you get out, skin still damp. waiting makes it less effective
shampoo goes on your scalp, not your hair. the lengths clean on the way down
change your pillowcase every 3–4 days if you’re breaking out. your face is on it for 8 hours a night

if your towel smells and you use it, you smell. you just can’t tell because you’re used to it
gym clothes need washing after every session, not every few
close the toilet lid before you flush. bacteria spray several feet into the air and land on everything in the room
your phone has more bacteria than a toilet seat and goes against your face constantly
sheets weekly, pillowcase more

washing your hands means 20 seconds with soap. running water over them does basically nothing
trim nose and ear hair. no one says anything and everyone notices
fingers don’t clean under your nails. get a nail brush
smell your used floss once. if it smells bad, your mouth smells bad and you’ve been walking around not knowing

the vagina is self-cleaning. water on the outside only, soap inside causes the exact problems people think it prevents
fragrance is the most common cause of intimate irritation, not bacteria. switch to unscented and most of it goes away
cotton underwear, especially after workouts. not negotiable
