7 Personal Hygiene Tips For Men

Hygiene is one of those things we never talk about, but we are supposed to know. Personal hygiene is not limited to just wearing deodorant and rinsing with mouthwash.

Perhaps it’s one of the grooming tips given by your father, when he pulled you aside to teach you how to shave like a man. Unfortunately, in most cases, it’s the only personal hygiene tip from dad, as later on we have to be on our own.

Most of the time what we learn from the conspiracy of Body Spray makers, is that guys don’t know how to avoid smelling like sweaty apes without dousing themselves in deodorant. Or it’s not really cool to sit with bros and brag about their personal hygiene. Find out in the article some of the basic rules in men’s personal hygiene which lack enough attention.

What are the hygiene activities to undertake on a regular basis?

The freshness of your breath determines how your words are going to be accepted. Regardless of the beauty of your words sounding like sonnets in someone’s ears, if your breath smells like a sewer rat, it’s going to be a turnoff no matter what.

These are simple everyday tips to keep your inside mouth fresh:

1.    Go for an electronic toothbrush, not the one that only vibrates (and costs $10, but a decent one which costs at least $100. With this it will be possible for you to improve your brushing: the timing on the toothbrush will ensure you that you are brushing for the recommended amount of time.

2.    Floss every day.  All of us realize how important it is to floss every day, but not many people do it constantly. But it’s really worth it, as due to flossing you have a fresh breath; you avoid gum diseases, and won’t experience those weird looks from your dental hygienist. It goes beyond saying that if flossing was not such a painful procedure, guys would floss more often. For this reason it’s recommended to buy a holder (a cheap one) , instead of using naked floss. By the way, with one of this you might even enjoy flossing.

3.    Brush your tongue. As much you take care of your teeth the same should be done in case of your tongue hygiene. Most of the time you have got you’re the unpleasant mouth smell because of the buildups on your tongue. For this reason, it is recommended to scrub it, while you are washing your teeth.

4.    Check out tonsil stones in your mouth. Tonsil stones (solidified deposits of food, bacteria and other junks) collect in the nooks and crannies of your tonsils. This can be the reason why your mouth smells so nasty. If you have a chronic mouth smell, do not hesitate to scope out the back of your mouth for those buggers.

5.    Showering. How unpleasant it is to hear, but don’t shower every day. Some people don’t really need to shower every day, but as a habit or feeling of comfort they do this. In reality, when showering every day you are taking away the necessary amount of oil from your body and head skin which will result in overproduction of oil in your body. However, if you can do nothing but showering every day, avoid applying shampoo everyday (or have it very second day). Between those no-shampoo days put some baby powder on the parts of the hair that are getting greasy.

6.    If you are looking for a cheap organic face wash, than honey is what you need. Washing face with honey is also recommended in case you have got an extremely sensitive skin. The advantages of honey face wash are that, honey is a natural humectant and has natural antibacterial qualities. You may wash it in the shower by massaging it into your face. Leave it on your face until you are done with the rest of the showering, honey being the last thing to rinse.

7.    Wash your feet properly. What most people do is to soak their feet half and put an inch of soap on it, which is to be considered as washing feet. Forgetting this, you take care that you get in there with a wash cloth and scrub your toes and the bottom of your feet. This way you will sweep away of the unpleasant foot odor and fungus.   

In conclusion, I would add that everyday simple hygiene actions are what we overestimate when putting them side for the next time. Start every day by keeping those simple 7 personal hygiene tips to ensure your better health and quality life.
