10 Common Hygiene Mistake You Make Everyday. Do you realise that improper hygiene practises
increase your chances of becoming sick every day? We are all taught from a young age to
wash our hands, shower, and brush our teeth, but there is a lot more to consider when it
comes to maintaining excellent personal hygiene. We make a lot of mistakes every day without
even recognising it. I agree that no one is flawless when it comes to personal care, but
the more you know, the better you can keep outbreaks and diseases at bay.
In today’s video, we will share with you the 10 Common Hygiene Mistake You Make Everyday.
Let’s see what they are:
#1 Not flossing every day. Please floss if you haven't already. According
to an American Dentist Association poll, just 4 out of 10 Americans floss regularly. What
happens if you don't floss your teeth? It may not be awful at first, but things might
quickly deteriorate. The first thing that will happen is that your gums will bleed.
When you brush your teeth without flossing, you miss approximately 40% of the tooth surface.
That means germs may accumulate between your teeth and under your gums, causing your gums
to become inflamed and bleed. So keep flossing your teeth if you want to appear perfect.
#2 Not cleaning the inside of your shoes. Even though the inside of your shoes is not
visible to the rest of the world, it is critical that you maintain them clean for your own
hygiene. Your feet sweat all day, producing germs. This bacteria is absorbed by your shoes,
causing a foul stench that can be unpleasant. Allow your shoes to air dry every day and
clean the insides using shoe care solutions or plain soapy water on a regular basis. Do

#3 Not cleaning the belly button. Your belly button, like every other area of
your body, requires cleansing. According to research, several different species of bacteria
live on the belly button. Not cleaning your belly button can result in the collection
of perspiration, dirt, dead skin cells, and bacterial overgrowth, which can lead to illnesses
and stink. To keep it clean, all you need is a little soap and water.
#4 Not cleaning commonly used objects. Our everyday things, such as our favourite
cellphone, laptop, vehicle keys, or even doorknobs, might be brimming with germs. One scientific
research revealed over 7000 different species of bacteria in 51 different smartphone samples,
and if you take your phone into the toilet with you, there might be many more. So, to
avoid germ transmission, modify your cleaning routine and clean and disinfect these frequently
used things as often as feasible.
#5 Excessive bathing and washing. Is it possible to take too many showers? Yes,
and it's not so good for you. Bathing too frequently can cause overdrying, damaged skin,
wrinkles, and bacterial development. Cracked skin can compromise the skin barrier, leading
to infections and allergic responses. Excessive bathing is also a total waste of water.
#6 Not washing bath towels and not letting them dry properly.
Why should I clean my towels while I'm using them on my clean body? The explanation is
that as you rub the towel against your skin, numerous dead skin cells can adhere to it,
and warm, fluffy, moist towels are ideal breeding grounds for germs. It is critical to clean
them after each use, allowing them to air dry, and exposing them to sunshine to minimise
bacterial development.
#7 Sharing makeup products and not cleaning makeup brushes.
Sharing is caring, but when you share cosmetic items, you are not just passing on makeup;
you are also passing on bacterial colonies. Therefore, it is best to be a bit selfish
with your makeup. Consider this: your makeup is flowing through someone else's dry skin,
chapped lips, zits, and fingers, and then you apply it on your skin. Sharing cosmetic
items and not cleaning them frequently enough, according to a research published in the International
Journal of Medical Sciences, can lead to bacterial illnesses such as pink eye.
#8 Not taking good care of your toothbrush. We all know how essential it is to wash our
teeth, but what is the purpose of brushing your teeth if your brush is dirty? It may
appear clean, but it is infected with bacteria and can make you sick. The majority of germs
enter the body through the mouth or the toilet, a process known as toilet plume. Storing a
toothbrush in a clean area at least 6 feet away from the toilet, replacing it twice a
month, and properly washing it with warm water after brushing are all measures you can take
to guarantee you're brushing with a clean brush.
#9 Never replacing your loofah. Loofahs are great for exfoliating skin and
eliminating dead skin cells. However, using the same loofah for an extended period of
time might be detrimental. Dead skin cells can become trapped inside them, and they are
usually moist; these circumstances are ideal for bacterial development. The use of the
same loofah can cause skin irritation as well as bacterial or fungal diseases. According
to dermatologists in the United States, you should replace your loofah every three weeks.
#10 Not changing pillowcases. often Your pillowcase may appear clean, but
it might be a breeding ground for thousands of germs, oil, grime, and dead skin cells.
If you don't change your pillowcases on a regular basis, you're inviting skin or eye
infections and breakouts. According to one study on infectious illnesses, germs from
the mouth cavity may be detected in significant numbers on pillowcases and can cause a variety
of skin ailments. If not everyday, replace your pillowcases every two or three days,
and use silk pillowcases over cotton since the silky feel of silk is better for your
skin.
So, which of these faults are you guilty of? There is no need to be ashamed because no
one is flawless, but we should still do our best to maintain our cleanliness. Personal
cleanliness results in a happier, healthier you, keeps germs at bay, and grooms your personality.
