When it comes to personal hygiene, you must be very careful. You need to take care of your personal hygiene regularly because it affects the way bacteria and germs spread across your household.
4 Hygiene Mistakes it’s time to stop doing
Not washing hands before and after going to the toilet
If you don’t wash your hands before and after going to the toilet, bacteria will be present on everything you touch. Also, , washing your hands before going to the toilet is even more important than after, because you don’t want any germs stuck on your body or private parts.
Flushing the toilet without a cover
You must make sure to cover the seat before flushing the toilet, or bacteria and germs inside it will be all over the place. Also, you need to think of how to flush the toilet. If you do that with the tip of your finger, you might want to change this dirty habit to using your knuckle or the other side of your finger. This can help you in case you forget and touch something before washing your hands.
Sleeping on the same pillow for a long time
Feather pillows are a paradise for dust mites or mold. Over time, these germs can move from your pillow to your face and cause skin problem. Thus, make sure to change your pillow covers regularly and wash it.
Sharing personal stuff
Whether a relative or a stranger, you must not share your personal stuff such as your towel, toothbrush, hairbrush, makeup brushes and sponges or even you makeup products with anyone. The germs may pass from you or to you, very easily. So, buy your personal brushes, towels… don’t let anyone use them nor borrow them from others.
