Personal Hygiene

It might seem like it is unnecessary to point out the importance of good hygiene but there are people that do not understand how important hygiene is or if they have bad hygiene how to make it better. If you have bad hygiene habits people are not going to want to spend a lot of time around you. You can be a nice person but if you do not take care of yourself and that is obvious through bodily smells or your appearance that will put people off and keep them at a distance.

Bathing and brushing your teeth are the first two necessities of personal hygiene. Before you go out, especially on a date, these two things need to be done. Bathing and dental care are really just two things that need to be done. Smelling good is necessary for any public or private event, part of this involves bathing but we will speak about cologne in a minute.

When it comes to the proper smell you want to bathe with some nice smelling soap. Make sure you are using a good shampoo for your hair, as well. You want your hair to look and smell clean not just your body. Grooming begins with bathing but there are many other things that need to be taken care of.

Once you have bathed you might want to consider adding some cologne or perfume to add a pleasing fragrance to your body. The important thing to remember when using cologne is that too much is almost worse than not enough. All cologne smells different on every person. Make sure that you try your cologne out with a test spray to see if your body is compatible with the scent you wish to wear. This will also allow you to preview the scent to find out how strong it is. If the cologne you choose to wear is fairly strong you should only spray one or two dabs to avoid over-spraying the cologne and smelling bad in the process.

Brush your teeth and use mouthwash to ensure that you have nice smelling breath. Many people pay close attention to other people’s mouths. You do not want to make a bad impression by having teeth that are uncared for. Not only that, but a person isn’t going to want to kiss you when your mouth is obviously neglected when it comes to dental matters.

You should also pay close attention to your hair and dress. Comb your hair to make sure it is neat and clean. Men will have a somewhat easier task here, as most men are dealing with shorter cuts. However, the important thing is that the hair is brushed and washed. Women may worry about different styling issues but making sure hair is clean and well kept is the most important issue.

When it comes to clothing in order to have good hygiene the only real requirement is that your clothes are clean and free of wrinkles. Of course, you should try to pick out clothing based on other factors like the look of the outfit, how it feels on you, and how good you feel you look when wearing something.

Handling personal hygiene issues is very important and it’s rather simple to do. All it really takes is some common sense and the need to improve your body on the outside. Remember that the more you try to improve yourself, the more open others will be to being around you and pursuing a relationship with you.
