Personal Hygiene 101
Personal Hygiene is more important than ever, and it is the first step to staying healthy.
Keeping your hands, head (scalp) and body clean stops the spread of germs and illnesses and is vital for your own wellbeing and for those around you. It prevents skin issues, unpleasant odours, infections and diseases.
Staying clean also has an impact on your mindset, how you look and feel influences your self-esteem, confidence and motivation. After all, nobody feels good or energised if they haven't showered or washed their hair, right?
You may have to stay at home right now given the challenging circumstances we are faced with in the world, but this doesn't mean you should let your personal hygiene fall to the wayside, it should actually be made a bigger priority than ever to keep you both safe and well!
