There are many things people do to keep a good hygiene. Taking a bath will help you prevent bad smell and infections forming on your body. Being fresh will also improve your self-esteem and be energized throughout the day.
However, most people don’t properly take a bath. There are many body parts they forget to clean. This has led to some infections and discomfort in many people.
Here are five common body parts you always forget to wash when taking a bath:
Under the finger-nailsThis is the number one reason most people have dirty looking nails. Nails accumulate dirt every day when you walk, when you touch things or even do work. Nails can accumulate bacteria when not cleaned or kept short. Therefore, always keep your nails short and always clean them.
Back of your earsEars are very important body organs. They are crucial as they give one that sense of hearing. Due to their shape, they tend to accumulate dirt both inside and on their back. More so, there are some important glands (sebaceous glands) that secrete sebum that keep the eyes moist behind the ears. Most people don’t wash behind their eyes hence endangering these glands.
Under the feetRough feet are due to lack of appropriate cleaning. Not taking good care of your feet will lead to dead skin down there which will cause cracks and rough feet. Scrubbing your feet with a pumice stone will help keep them clean and soft.
The backI used to clean my brother’s back and in turn he cleans mine too. Most people don’t wash their backs as they claim they can’t reach it well. Instead, they prefer running a shower on their back and it’s done. Always ensure you rub your back with a scrub as this area accumulates sweat and dirt throughout the day.
Belly buttonDo you know what a belly button is? Well, if you don’t know, it is that area where the umbilical cord used to attack a mother and a baby when still unborn. Most people don’t clean this area. Depending on the shape of your belly button, dirt accumulate in this area which can cause infection or even bad odor.
