Hygiene has no gender base. I need to say this as much as possible. There are some people out there who believe men who care a bit too much about being clean are weak.

They are, in fact, the strongest as they are the healthiest. It is not up to just one gender to look clean and be hygienic. It is human unless you do not wish to live a healthy life.

The majority of hygiene-related articles are directed at women, and it seems like women have a lot to look out for, but honestly, so do men.

It is not just about looking good, although that is also one major reason; it is about being healthy and living a healthy life.

I’m not a man, and I can’t claim to know so much about men, but I felt the need to assist with some personal hygiene tips to get you started:

Bath Daily

I feel this should be said without saying it, but sadly, it is necessary. Take your bath daily to eliminate all the accumulated sweat, dirt, and germs.

Bath twice daily, especially if you had a long, stressful, busy day.

Not only does this keep you clean and free from the harm that these germs may cause, but It also gets rid of odors, which are not so friendly.

Keep Your Mouth Clean

Brush your teeth when you wake up in the morning and before bed at night for healthy teeth and gums.

Floss daily; it only takes a few seconds. Use a non-alcoholic or organic mouthwash to prevent bad breath.

Take mints with you to temporarily hide stale breath. Remember to visit your dentist for a checkup every six months.

Take Good Care of Your Hair

You always have the freedom to decide whether or not to keep your hair, but whichever you choose to do, keep it tidy.

Unkept hair gives you a staggered and dirty look; unless that’s your aim, do something about it.

If you want to keep your hair full and long, take very good care of it. Wash it frequently with a good shampoo and conditioner.

Comb it and keep it looking decent. If you want to keep your hair low, get a haircut every 4 – 6 weeks to keep it well groomed.

If you plan on rocking a full beard, keep it trimmed and clean and care for it well. And unless you are OK with your nasal hair, cut it.

The same goes for your eyebrows. Grooming them is not a ‘lady thing.’

Replace Your Blades

Your shaving blades should only be used 3-4 times, after which you should get a replacement.

It is also important to disinfect them after each use. Rub some rubbing alcohol over them or wash them with hot, soapy water.

Air Out Your Sweaty Clothes

Removing sweaty clothes and putting them in the laundry basket is common.

This is especially true for gym clothes, which have absorbed so much sweat and bacteria.

When you throw clothes soaked in sweat straight into the laundry basket, it has more hours or days to soil the fabric and permeate fibers.

This causes your clothes to have a slight hint of odor even after being washed.

Instead of taking them straight to the laundry baskets, air them out so the sweat can dry.

Keep Your Nails Clean

Whether you keep your fingernails short, you must keep them clean.

A dirty nail is not only unhealthy but also unattractive. Get a pedicure set and tend to your nails at least once a week.

Wash your hands frequently to remove dirt. Also, remember to take good care of your toenails. Trim them every week and tend to them well.

Dirty fingernails can also cause you to ingest germs if you eat with your hands or are fond of putting them in your mouth.

Avoid chewing your nails. It’s not healthy or attractive, but it’s surprisingly a common bad habit. If you are guilty of this, try your best to stop it.

Care for Your Skin

You should indulge in routine skin care regimes, as they are just as important for men as they are for women.

Various men’s skin care products are available in the market and are very easy to use. Moisturize after bathing because nobody likes chapped, dry skin.

Wear Deodorants and Antiperspirants

Some men do not realize the importance of using these products. Underarm odors can be disturbing to both you and those around you.

In addition to scrubbing the area daily while bathing to keep it clean, you should also put on deodorant to eliminate odors that may result from excess sweat and germs.

Underarm sweat can also be uncomfortable and reduce confidence in your appearance.

Wear an antiperspirant to reduce or stop the excess sweating. Many products are mixtures of deodorants and antiperspirants. Please find one of them and use it as needed.

Change Your Underwear

Your eyes are probably rolling at this very obvious tip, but you will be surprised how many people do not change their underwear often enough.

Some believe, ‘If it looks clean, it’s clean,’ and that mindset has to change.

Change your underwear daily and also after your workouts.

Eat Healthy

Some foods you eat determine how your body is presented. Some cause bad odors, unhealthy-looking skin, bad oral health, etc.

Some even mess with your hormonal levels, which could affect many biological events.

Eats lots of fruits and vegetables. Cut back on unhealthy fatty food and reduce your carbs intake.

Here is an extra tip: exercise a few minutes to stay in shape and healthier. Good luck being your best self!
