Personal hygiene

Maintaing a high level of personal hygiene will help to increase self esteem and confidence.
Personal hygiene

What does it include?

Brushing our teeth;

Washing our hands;

Wearing clean clothes;

Showering or bathing regularly;

Keeping fresh and clean;

Minimising the spread of germs where we can!


Personal hygiene

Brushing our teeth


It is recommended that we brush our teeth twice a day, for
around
2 minutes.

We should visit the dentist every 6 months for a check up.

Brushing properly removes plaque which can cause cavities,


tooth ache, gum disease and even our teeth falling out!

It also gives us lovely fresh breath and a beautiful smile!


Personal hygiene

Washing our hands

Washing our hands is one of the simplest ways we can keep


ourselves and those around us healthy.

Think about everything your hands


touch in a day…

door handles;

stair banisters;

toilet flushers.
Personal hygiene

When should we wash our hands?


When they are dirty;

Before we eat or help prepare food;

After petting animals;

After using the toilet; Wash hands after


sneezing or coughing.
After we sneeze, cough or blow our noses;

Before and after visiting someone who


is unwell.

Washing our hands with clean, warm water and soap will kill off
the germs and keep our hands clean.
Personal hygiene

When should we wash our hands?

Handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 s or the use of alcohol‐based hand
sanitisers when soap and water are not available is the first line of defence in stopping the
spread of COVID-19 infection.

Personal hygiene

Showering or bathing regularly

As we get older and start to experience


puberty it becomes important to shower
and bathe more regularly.

We need to bathe as often as possible.


Both boys 'and girls' bodies change during puberty,
but one of the main changes we all experience is
that the sweat glands grow and begin to produce
more perspiration.
Personal hygiene

Clean clothes

It is really important to wear clean clothes. If we wore the


same thing all the time they would get dirty and start to
smell. Even if it is the most fashionable thing you own…it
will still need to be washed!

Reusable cotton masks must first be washed and sterilized by ironing.


It is not worn for more than 4 hours !!!
Personal hygiene

Don’t forget your underwear!

Underwear is different. Underwear covers the parts


which can get the most sweaty.

Remember to change your socks and underwear every


day!
Personal hygiene

It's good to know ... that there are things


we touch that are actually much dirtier.
Personal hygiene

Good personal hygiene is very important in today's society for both health
and social reasons.
RESPECT PERSONAL HYGIENE AND YOU WILL BE HEALTHY !

Thanks for your attention!
