So painful.
Come here, let me tell you how you will know that you lack personal hygiene.
Do you feel awkward when hugging people every time you sweat?
Do you always have an offensive odour just because you are sweating after exercises?
Then I will politely tell you that there are a lot of things you are not doing right.
1. You take your bath twice everyday and when you sit in the bus and you smell your underarm, you feel uncomfortable that the people around you can smell a bad odour from you.
The problem is how you consciously focus on delicate part of your body that will always naturally stink more than other parts.
These are mostly places that contain hairs in your body.
Your armpit, the hair on your private part, your beard and the hair on your head.
If these parts of your body are extremely important to you I don't think you will be feeling self conscious everytime you sweat.
What you should do to always keep them clean.
A lot of us use bathing gloves to scrub our body but permit me to say that will not do enough wonders when scrubbing your armpit in your bathing process.
Bathing gloves feels so good on the body but in my own opinion I feel you can just get a special strong sponge for your armpit, feet and neck.
Use a bit of force when scrubbing your armpit and continuously smell on it until you cannot smell any offensive smell anymore. (A lot of people believe that with just massaging their underarm with the sponge, their armpit is clean). You are wrong in most cases. Don't massage your armpit, scrub!
After scrubbing your armpit, use a roll on underarm.
NB: Cologne and roll-on are way different.
Use Roll-on, body mist,before cologne.
Personally I compulsorily love stronger sponges for my neck and feet but I don't want to impose my opinion on you though.
Another thing you should consider as a ma is your beard.
Scrub your beard and use your beard oil regularly.
Dry your beards with a towel and rinse anytime you sweat on them.
For the hair on your head, have it well covered when having a shower if you don't want to wash.
If your hair is short, wash regularly and please don't joke with your hair cream.
Ladies, don't cover your hair all the time.
Allow more air than heat.
Heat can stuck up in your shower cap and sometimes lead to unwanted things on your scalp.
Allow your hair breathe.
Use enough water on your private part but I won't advise you to dip soap inside your private part. Just rub the soap around the surface but please don't dip, use water when you dip.
When you pee, also use water.
A lot of ladies use tissue because it is less messy but I will advise you to prefer water in rinsing and probably after that, wipe the surface dry with your tissue.
2. Why are we only focused on our body and not also our mouth? Your mouth is as important to you as the rest of your body.
Some Nigerians when I see them brush their teeth in public, I notice that they focus only on their teeth and just absently brush their tongue in one second.
Please, it is important to brush your entire mouth and use the same force you use on your teeth as well as your tongue.
Brush your tongue even longer than you brush your teeth.
Spit out the dirt and rinse well when done.
Use a mouth wash and you also add a menthol sweet.
The reason most couples hate to kiss each other these days is because our mouths are not paid attention to. (My opinion 🤣).
Four years ago, I was having a tooth ache because I loved eating sugar a lot and I didn't know my teeth was not strong enough to withstand those bacteria that are going to be emitting from the excess sugar.
When the dentist observed my mouth, she asked why my mouth was even cleaner than people with no toothache.
She told me my mouth was so clean. She didn't say my teeth was white, she said, my mouth was clean.
No one cares if your teeth is white, they love it more when you lean to talk to them closely and your mouth doesn't have any offensive odour.
Wrap Up:
Wash your mouth twice a day, scrub your tongue more than your teeth 🪥.
Scrub your armpit and shave regularly. Those hairs because they are always secured tend to stink so please shave them up.
Rinse every single time you pee.
Wash your hair with shampoo, conditioner and use hair treatment.
Stop washing your hair with bathing soap or detergent.
Use your beard oil and hair cream.
Lick a lot of menthol. This will help your breath stay fresh even if you have a siesta or you doze off.
Note: Not talking for a long time is not a reason to defend your bad breath.
You can be quiet all day and still have a fresh breath.
Everything written is solely my opinion.
This worked for me, it can for you too!
