The thymosophical people say that "Cleanliness is half nobility". And he is right. Because personal hygiene is one of the key factors for the good course of our health. Especially, during this period of the coronavirus, good and proper personal hygiene is required.
And this is where most people fall into the trap. For example, they may wash their hands, but there are many who do not do it properly. And it's not just the hands. There are other parts of the body that most people wash incorrectly.
Hands
Yes, you can always wash them before and after eating or after each visit to the toilet (and now with coronavirus more and more often), but that does not mean that you always do it the right way. According to experts, hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds and soap all areas: the palm, wrist, between the fingers and under the nails.
Face
A mistake that many people make, especially women, is to wash their face in the same way that they wash their body during the shower, that is, with the same hot water and the same pressure. Hot water can damage the skin, and it is definitely wrong to wash your face with hair shampoo or shower gel.
Hair
The most common mistake in shampooing is the amount of shampoo. Many people believe that the more you put in, the better your results will be. But the truth is that you do not need a large amount of shampoo to clean your hair. Ideally, experts say, the amount should be approximately equal to a 2 euro coin. The other common mistake is rinsing. You need to spend more time, until you make sure that the foam is gone, while the massage helps for better results.
Belly button
Most people do not even think that we need to clean this part of our body. However, according to relevant research, many bacteria grow in this area mainly due to the moisture from the remaining water. So, the right thing to do is to clean it with a cotton swab, always, after the bath.
Apron
And here many believe that the feet are washed just fine with the water that flows during the shower. But this is wrong. The feet must be washed separately and thoroughly. Also, another common mistake is that we do not wipe them or wipe them lightly, leaving them to dry on their own. But keep in mind that due to the humidity, bacteria grow more easily. One trick is to dry them with a hair dryer, of course between the fingers.
