keeps the hair smooth.

greasy and look dirty unless you wash it regularly.

oil and dirt.

Very large
collection of sweat
glands live in your
feet! Wash your
feet well at least
once a day.

carefully,
especially
between the toes.

your shoes and
then bacteria
arrive which love
the moist leather
or fabric
If you have one
pair of shoes for
school then try to
get them off as
soon as you get
home so that they
can air and dry
out overnight.

▪Clothes can get stained and dirty you
need to change them often.
▪Underclothes are right next to your skin
and collect dead skin cells, sweat and
possibly other unmentionable stains.
▪Overnight bacteria start to work on these
stains, so your clothes do not smell as nice
on the second day of wearing.
▪Change your clothes after showing, you
don't want to put dirty clothes onto a clean
body.
