(2) Wash your face at least twice a day

Your face is a very important part of your body and should be treated with love, whether you are a woman or a man.

Always use organic face soaps, creams, scrubs, moisturizers and masks to keep your face acne-free, healthy, soft and smooth.

For women, do not share your makeup or makeup brushes with others, as this can cause irritation to your skin. Avoid using expired makeup products.

Moreso, clean your nose, eyes and ears with baby wipes. Please avoid using cotton buds to clean your ears, as they can get stuck inside your ears. Do not touch your face when your hands are unclean.

(3) Brush your teeth at least twice a day

As kids, we were all taught oral hygiene, and this practice has stuck with us as adults. As an adult, you should brush your teeth at least twice a day, when you wake up in the morning and at night before bedtime. To get rid of stuck food, use floss. For quick cleansing, use a mouth wash to rinse your mouth. To avoid cavities, reduce your intake of soft drinks, candies and chocolates.

(4) Wash your hands always

Clean hands are everything. Always wash your hands with soap after touching dirty surfaces, coughing, sneezing, after using the toilet, after handling garbage and touching animals. Moisturize with a hand cream. If you do not have access to water, always use a hand sanitizer. Do not forget to trim your nails and clean the corners every week too.

(5) Take a bath at least twice a day

When you maintain a healthy body hygiene every day, you do not have to visit the spa often. Use organic soaps, scrubs, oils, creams and lotions for your body. Wear exfoliating gloves to scrub your body thoroughly, at least twice a week. It helps to get rid of excess dirt from the skin. Do not forget to shave your armpit hairs, beards and other body hairs when necessary. Always use gentle shaving creams when shaving.
