The 6 Personal Hygiene Routines:
Toilet Hygiene – wash hands after use.
Body Hygiene – regular bodily hygienic practices such as showering or bathing daily.
Food Hygiene – washing hands prior to eating, before and after food preparation and not contaminating utensils used in preparation.
Oral Hygiene – Brushing teeth helps keep gums and teeth healthy.
Considerate Hygiene – Covering your nose and mouth when sneezing and limit personal contact when ill.

Poor hygiene can be a sign of self-neglect, which is the inability or unwillingness to attend to one’s personal needs. Poor hygiene often accompanies certain mental or emotional disorders, including severe depression and psychotic disorders.
Should you be infected or contaminated by any germs or viruses, this should be attended to by a registered medical practitioner as soon as possible.
Maintaining good hygienic routines helps to increase or enhance your personal well-being and have a huge impact on your mental health. This affects how others perceive you and can influence your confidence levels and self-esteem which influences all aspects of your personal and work life.
