  3. Why should I care? Being clean stops the spread of germs and keeps you from getting sick. When your body is clean, you may feel better about yourself and others will appreciate it!

  4. Items you need to take care of yourself… Comb/brush Shampoo Toothbrush Tooth paste floss Soap DEODORANT! If you need any of these things because you don’t have them at home, please see your nurse or counselor!

  5. Caring for your hair… Everyone’s hair is different. You should always make sure your hair is clean and smells nice. Hair that is oily needs to be washed everyday with shampoo. Dry hair may be washed less often, but should still be kept clean. Brushes, combs, hair accessories, and hats are personal items and should never be shared.

  6. Caring for your mouth… Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss once a day, every single day! If you have braces, you may need to brush more often. Follow your orthodontist’s directions. Keeping your mouth clean will keep you from having bad breath!

  7. Caring for your body: Body odor is unappealing and the best way to prevent it is to keep yourself clean! You should shower or bathe everyday, using soap to wash all parts of your body. Change your clothes daily. Each day you should wear clean sock and underwear. Change out of clothes that are sweaty and wash them before wearing them again. Wash your face daily, especially if you wear makeup. Wash your hands often, and keep your fingernails and toenails clipped and neat.

  8. A word about makeup… Makeup is personal, and should not be shared. Keep your makeup brushes clean, and replace them often to avoid bacteria. Makeup should be washed off every night before bed to help keep your skin clean.

  9. A word about Deodorant… One word: EVERYDAY!! Everyone sweats. It’s normal. However, your sweat has an odor that is unpleasant. Deodorant covers up that smell and dries up sweat. Deodorant can be a roll on or a spray. Both of them work fine IF YOU USE THEM CORRECTLY! Let’s all learn a little dance…

  10. Hygiene is important!! Keeping your body clean will help you feel great about yourself, more confident, and keep you from getting sick. Having a clean, healthy body is also a positive things to those around you. If you have any questions about personal care products or need help in anyway, please talk with your family.
