19 Great Tips For Staying Clean and NEVER Smelling Bad.
Talking with someone who has bad breath or who smells bad is a painful experience.
What if it was you who smelled bad?
You know from experience that few people will have the courage to tell you.
So how do you make sure you never smell bad?
Start by discovering these 19 surprising hygiene tips:
1. Wash behind the ears
Wash behind the ears - this avoids that famous "smell of the elderly".
2. Toilet paper
If you're using toilet paper for the big commission, here's what you need to know:
You know you are "done" when the toilet paper is white - streak-free.
This will prevent you from unpleasant odors.
3. Change your pillowcase regularly
Change your pillowcase regularly. If you have acne, you should definitely stick to this advice.
And by regularly, we mean after a few days, not a few weeks!
4. Dental floss to prevent bad breath
Flossing is one of the basics of hygiene.
But few people know that this gesture also fights bad breath.
5. The tongue scraper to fight bad breath
Use a tongue scraper every time you brush your teeth - always!
Are you not convinced ? So try this little test.
Scratch your tongue with your finger, until a slimy substance appears under your fingernail.
Then, wait a few minutes, until this substance dries.
Now sniff it. This smell is the breath we smell when we talk to you.
Tongue cleaners are an effective way to fight bad breath. To find out more, read our article.
Add tongue scrapers to your morning and evening ritual. You will quickly notice the positive effect on your breath.
6. Mouthwashes

7. Clean your navel
Too many people neglect it: don't forget to clean your navel, thoroughly! Use a Cotton Swab if necessary.
8. Wash between your toes
Rub your feet well when washing them - including the space between the toes.
And always put on socks when wearing shoes.
9. Get your ears cleaned by a doctor
Getting your ears cleaned by a doctor is such a pleasant experience that it is almost transcendent :-)
Did you think you had clean ears? Try a doctor cleanse and you will see for yourself.
You will be surprised by the quantities of earwax it will extract!
10. Men: trimming their hair
Shortening the hair on your body is a gesture that will eliminate odors.
We do not ask you to shave them, your hairs: only to trim them!
11. Talc for the body
Talc has two properties to exploit: it regulates and absorbs perspiration.
Also, if your thighs are rubbing and irritating the skin, sprinkle talcum powder loosely on the affected areas. This relieves the irritation.
12. Do not replace the shower with perfume
When you smell bad, it's not perfume or deodorant that will cover the unpleasant odors.
Nothing beats a good shower.
13. Cleanse the pores of the nose
The pores of the nose become easily clogged with oil, dead skin, etc.
Do you have oily skin and your pores are clogged? Check out our article to learn more about how to clean your pores.
Practice this treatment once a week: it is for your own good.
14. Take a shower before going to bed
Take a shower before going to bed.
Here is the logic: during the day, we accumulate all kinds of dirt and bad smells.
Why bring them in your nice clean sheets? Just take a shower before bed. Your partner will thank you!
15. Wash your back well
We think we wash our backs well. But in reality, to wash your back well, you have to be a contortionist.
The solution: it's a back brush with a long handle - the old fashioned way.
You can easily find it in organic stores. Otherwise, you can buy it online here.
16. No more carpeting at home
Do you have carpet in your house? Be aware that carpet is a breeding ground for bacteria - and bad odors.
If you can't get rid of it, at least get into this good habit.
As soon as you get home, take off your shoes. Then, store your shoes by the front door.
This gesture will prevent you from dragging dirt throughout your accommodation.
17. Cut your nails
It is a basic rule of hygiene: cut your nails. Too many people neglect this routine.
Moreover, it is detected right away. Frankly, the nails that are too long and the grime that gets encrusted under the nails? It really is yuck !
18. Do not sneeze into your hands
Mom taught us to cover your nose when you sneeze.
But sneezing in your hands, without a tissue, is not hygienic (nor elegant).
The solution ? Try to sneeze into the crook of your elbow if you don't have a tissue.
19. For emergencies: hand sanitizer
Do you smell the goat and you know that it will be impossible to take a shower?
You already know that deodorant and perfume don't work.
But here is the solution to help you out:
hand sanitizer can help. Just do a cursory wash under the armpits, with disinfectant and paper towels!
