Office pantry etiquette.
The office pantry is a very tricky place - you can't avoid it, but nor can you be friends with it. T
he best practice is to carry your own coffee and tea mugs and wash them at least twice a day. If you are not so sure about your office hygiene, get your own tissue roll from home and store your office snacks in a clean and safe drawer.

Makeup hygiene
Eyebrow pencil hygiene is a must. Always ensure that you clean your eyebrow pencil with a wet tissue before usage in order to get rid of bacterial residue.
Wash your makeup brush and powder puffs on a weekly basis with a mild baby shampoo for best and safe usage.
Never use your fingers to apply makeup, unless and until a profesional artist does that for you. But, if you must use your fingers, then make sure they're clean and that you use just the ring finger as it has the lightest stroke.

Brushing hygiene
Brush your teeth twice a day for at least 3-5 minutes. Make sure you do not put too much pressure as this can hurt your gums.
Place the bristles along the gum line at a 45-degree angle. Gently brush the outer tooth surfaces of 2-3 teeth using a vibrating back and forth motion. Clean outer, inner and biting surfaces of teeth with scrubbing motion.
Studies show an essential oil based mouthwash reduces plaque by 70% and gum problems by 36% over brushing alone. Use an anti-microbial mouthwash to get complete protection from germs.
Floss your teeth. Ease the floss gently between your teeth, pull the floss smoothly back and front. Additionally, using a dental floss will help remove food debris that's stuck in your teeth.
Clean and brush the surface of your tongue daily because there is bacteria present particularly on the rougher top surface of the tongue. These can contribute to bad breath (halitosis) and negatively affect your dental health. Personal Hygiene Habit# 11
Bathe daily
A daily shower is a must whether you feel grungy or not. A regular bath (every morning and after all athletic activities) helps in keeping you clean, fresh and odor free.
Cleaning your body is also important to ensure your skin rejuvenates itself, as the scrubbing of your arms, legs, and torso will slough off dead, dry skin and help your skin stay healthy and refreshed, and will prevent acne, blemishes and other skin eruptions.
Also, do not share your towel and wash them on a regular basis.

Trim your nails
Keeping your finger and toenails trimmed and in good shape will prevent problems such as hang nails (when a loose strip of dead skin hangs from the edge of a fingernail) and infected nail beds.
If possible, trim them weekly and brush them daily with soap so that no dirt or residue remains beneath the nail.
Fingernails should be trimmed straight across and slightly rounded at the top whereas toenails should be trimmed straight across.
The best time to cut your nails is after bathing when they are soft and easy to trim.
It's also a good idea to moisturize nails and cuticles regularly.

Take care of your hair
Washing your hair at least every other day is important to keeping your hair and scalp healthy and in good shape.
If you suffer from lice or dandruff, then take necessary action at the earliest. Also, it is critical that you get a hair cut frequently for healthy hair.
The longer you wait to get your hair cut, the more frail and brittle your hair can become, especially if it is longer
