Hygiene, or keeping clean, is an important trait of a person. Those who keep clean do not only look and smell good, but are also healthy and have and a confident, cheerful personality. You will not make friends if you smell bad and dress shabbily because no one wants to be friends with an unhygienic person. If you don't take care of your hygiene you are most likely to fall sick as well. Clean your hands properly Germs and hands are like best friends. Whichever place you touch, you'll meet the germs. So you must wash your hands, almost before and after doing anything. Hands should be carefully lathered, rubbed, and rinsed for at least 15 seconds. • Wash before eating and wash after you finish eating • Wash your hands when you are coming back from school or park (outside) • Wash your hands after using the bathroom • Wash after playing with your pet cat • Wash it after sneezing or coughing • Keep your hands away from your nose and mouth. Nose picking and nail biting is unhygienic. • Germs can live under your nails. So, you should trim your nails every week. Smell beautiful Imagine entering a room filled with people, and bad smell. It will make you want to run away from that place. People smell bad when they don't take care of their personal hygiene, for example not taking regular showers. • You can shower before bedtime or coming back from school. A quick shower before going to school will wake you up and make you feel fresh. • Wash your hair regularly with a mild shampoo. Massage the scalp to remove dirt and oil. Comb your hair and tie them only when they are dry. • Properly wash your face, behind the ear area, armpits and feet. • After shower, dry your body carefully and don't forget area between the toes. • Remember that nothing smells better than clean skin. Use a deodorant or talcum powder to smell nicer. • Keep your clothes clean, and change them thrice a week. • Change your underclothes daily. • Wear a new and washed pair of sock everyday to school.

It should take about three minutes to do them all. • Keep your toothbrush in a dry and clean place. • Take tooth-friendly food like milk and cheese which protect your teeth.
