"The most important house to clean is your own body."
– Marina Abramovic
We all know the importance of cleanliness, and most of us think that by showering with
soap, we have prevented potentially harmful bacteria from making us sick.
Most days, you likely go through the motions on autopilot.
As soon as your alarm buzzes in the morning, you get out of bed and head to the shower
for your daily cleanliness routines.
But do you really make a conscious effort to clean every inch of your body?
Here are some body parts that you should clean more often to keep them healthy and safe from
harmful bacteria: HERE ARE 5 BODY PARTS YOU NEED TO CLEAN MORE
OFTEN 1.
SCALP You likely wash your hair regularly, but have
you heard that using less shampoo is better for you?
Daily shampooing apparently removes the natural and beneficial oils that make the hair healthier.
Here's a fun time comparison: Several decades ago, the New York Times advised women that
it's best to wash the hair twice a week, as opposed to once a month, based on the recommendations
of specialists!
While a lot of people use shampoo to clean their hair, most do not pay special attention
to the scalp.
The many sweat glands of this area will form flakes if not properly scrubbed and massaged.
This is why your head itches if it's not clean.
Ideally, you should spend two minutes scrubbing your scalp to get rid of the dead skin cells
that build up every day.
You should also massage your scalp to help increase the blood flow that gives your hair
needed nutrients.
But how often should you shampoo?
It depends on your hair type, as too many shampoo chemicals can also be bad for the
hair.
If you have oily hair, you might need to shampoo every other day.
2.
BELLY BUTTON The navel or belly button is perhaps the most
disregarded body part when it comes to cleaning.
Bacteria easily build up in this dark, moist area.
Some people's belly button can smell really bad because of the accumulation of sweat and
dirt.
In some cases, the smell may be a symptom of a bacterial, fungal, or yeast infection,
or the belly button might have a wound or bruise that has remained untreated.
It's quite simple to clean the gunk out of your belly button.
Use a soft washcloth to gently massage your navel and use table salt to disinfect the
area.
Do not use creams or other skin care products because these might leave residues that may
cause more buildup.
3.
BEHIND YOUR EARS There are skin folds behind your ears that
have a high concentration of sebaceous glands.
These glands collect sweat and secrete sebum, so you will need to scrub and wash this area
properly.
The area behind your ears can smell like cheese because of bacteria growth.
While this is normal, as your skin goes through the biological process of renewing itself,
the odor would not be pleasant – especially if other people smell it too.
Sometimes, blackheads also form behind your ears when it's not clean or residues remain
from shampoos and soaps.
Before you shower, you might also want to swab this area with cotton soaked in white
vinegar to kill the bacteria or germs.
If you wear earrings, regularly remove and wash these too.
4.
TONGUE Your tongue is like a sponge.
It absorbs bacteria from the food and drinks you put in your mouth.
If you are not conscious about cleaning your tongue, you might develop stinky breath because
of the bacteria buildup.
A study says that 50 percent of halitosis, also known as bad breath, is due to tongue
residues.
A simple remedy?
Clean your tongue whenever you brush your teeth.
Using the same toothbrush, reach the back of your tongue and gently scrape outwards
towards the tip.
If you have a sensitive gag reflex, using a tongue scraper would be better than a toothbrush.
In addition, you might want to gargle with a mouthwash after your clean your mouth.
Choose a mouthwash that has cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) in its ingredients as it can
reduce bacteria buildup by 34.5 percent more than other types of mouthwash, as per clinical
research.
5.
FEET Most people do not scrub their feet when taking
a shower but experts say this area must be cleaned as often as you wash your face or
brush your teeth.
It's easy for the feet to come in contact with fungi and bacteria, which can lead to
calluses and other skin irritations.
Apart from giving your feet TLC in the bathroom, apply lotion or moisturizer every day to maintain
the suppleness of the skin.
Do not forget to pay attention to the areas between your toes, as well as the heel and
ball of your feet.
These are the areas that dry faster and dry skin might lead to an infection.
Trim and file your toenails every two weeks.
Experts also recommend rotating the shoes you wear to air them out since the feet can
sweat and leave residues.
