especially for certain body parts.

5 body parts
that you need
to clean
correctly:

and fungal growth on the tongue, which makes
the tongue look black.

10. You should ensure that the tongue
is cleaned while brushing.

12. 2) Ears

hearing and drainage from the ear canal.

wax can cause more harm than good.

remove the excess water.

19. 3) In between toes

leads to fungal infections.

grounds for bacteria and fungi.

and putting good quality foot powder can
prevent this from happening.

23. 4) Nail Cuticles

that grows over your nails.

area for the germs to attack your body.

condition that causes red spots around the cuticles.

clothes can protect the cuticles.
