Cleanliness should be learnt and constantly practiced. This entails, grooming of the entire body. Healthy personal habits can help you fight off intending disease you may contract.
Good personal cleaning can make you look responsible, presentable, approachable, healthy attractive to people around you. If you do not take care of yourself you are inviting disease causing agent in and around your body.Poor personal hygiene can affect you socially, people will never tell you that your teeth smells or you have body odour and others because it sounds repulsive.
The only they can do is steer clear the sight of you and avoid hanging out with you or getting you involved in any social activity.
Like I said in my previous article"Job interview etiquette tops" you may not get your dream job or get a promotion in your place of work because of your physical appearance, it is clearly seen that you do not take care of yourself.
People can intimidate you because of the way you look, you can look"haggard" but you will never know until someone discloses it to you.
In this article, I will be passing a piece of information on "HOW TO MAINTAIN A GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE and they are;
1) SHOWER OR TAKE YOUR BATH ON A DAILY BASIS: Take your bath atleast twice (morning and night) daily with clean water and good shower gel/soap. Keep yourself clean.
