PASSAGE
Principles of Personal Hygiene
Learning to properly take care of your body is one of the most important life skills. Proper personal hygiene
requires you to take care of your body to prevent illness and keep your body healthy and clean. Practicing
good personal hygiene can also prevent the spread of germs to others. Personal hygiene does not always refer
to keeping your body clean, but also extends to the spaces where you live and work.
Skin
Shower every day to cleanse the skin using a mild soap. The skin is the largest organ of your body and needs
to be washed and moisturized frequently. Cleansing the skin will wash away bacteria and prevent infections.
Everyday moisture will keep the skin soft and healthy. Use a mild cleanser to wash your face twice a day.
Hair
It is not necessary to wash your hair every day, as washing too often removes the natural oils that are
essential for keeping the hair healthy. When washing your hair, massage the scalp to stimulate healthy
growth and wash away dirt, oil, and dandruff. Use a gentle, conditioner at least twice a week.
Teeth
Studies estimate that 75 percent of people in the world suffer from some form of dental disease. Brushing
daily and flossing can reduce the risk of any permanent damage, including tooth loss. Brush your teeth at
least twice a day. Your teeth are exposed to harmful foods and beverages every day that cause tooth decay.
