20 tips for better personal care....cntd.4

Wear Clean Clothes 

Wear a fresh set of clothes as often as possible. 

Dirty clothes are a source of contamination and can cause very serious skin disorders if worn over and over without washing them. 

Also, try wearing a clean pair of socks every day (especially after athletic activities) as this keep your feet dry and not smelly. 

Wash clothing and linens on a regular basis as the longer it takes you to clean them the smellier they become.

Hair Removal 

Shave your underarms and legs if you desire, but do so with care. Use a new blade if you are going to shave with a manual razor to lessen your risk of cutting yourself. Also use shaving cream, or a shaving gel. 

Take your time when shaving to avoid nicks and cuts. 

Pubic hair does not have to be shaved. 

If it is shaved, it may grow inward, and the skin in this area of the body may be sensitive after shaving. 

Try using a moisturizer that contains no oil if you want to make facial hair less noticeable, or use a bleaching product. 

Talk to your parents about removing facial hair permanently, if you are thinking about it.
