All about Body Hygiene
Good body hygiene keeps you healthy, comfortable and confident. Washing daily with soap, brushing your teeth, wearing clean clothes and keeping your nails trimmed all help stop dirt and germs building up.
As you grow, you may sweat more and need to pay extra attention to deodorant, washing your hair and changing clothes after sport. Soap removes dirt, oil and germs from your skin, and rinsing it off properly is important.

Frequently asked questions about Body Hygiene
How often should I wash my hair?
It depends on your hair and activity. Many children wash it two or three times a week, and more if they sweat a lot.
Why do I smell more as I grow?
Hormones make sweat glands more active, so using deodorant and washing regularly is helpful.
Do I need to wash my face every day?
Gentle washing once or twice a day is usually enough, unless your skin is oily or you have been very sweaty or dirty.
