Beat the Heat: Summer Hygiene Hacks for Teens

During the school term a daily routine often helps keep personal hygiene in check. However, holidays can disrupt this routine leading to a more relaxed approach to cleanliness.

To help you stay fresh and clean, even without the school day structure, here are essential daily hygiene tips to maintain good habits during the holidays.

Daily Showering

  • Shower at least once a day, especially in hot weather.
  • Pay extra attention to areas prone to sweat and bacteria buildup, such as the armpits, groin, and feet.

Removing SPF

  • Sunscreen is essential for protecting skin from UV rays but it needs to be removed properly at the end of the day.
  • Use a gentle cleanser or a body wash that effectively removes SPF without stripping the skin of its natural oils.

Using Antiperspirant Deodorant

  • Apply antiperspirant deodorant daily to help control sweat and odour.
  • Choose a product that suits your skin type and provides protection.

Facial Cleanliness

  • Clean your face with a suitable cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. (This helps prevent acne and keeps your skin clear and healthy)
  • It is essential to moisturise after washing the skin.

Oral Hygiene

  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily.
  • Consider using a mouthwash to maintain fresh breath and overall oral health.

Hair Care

  • Wash your hair regularly, especially if you’re sweating more due to heat or physical activities.
  • Use a shampoo and, if appropriate, conditioner that suits your hair type to keep it clean and manageable.

Hand Washing

  • Wash your hands frequently, especially before eating and after being outside or going to the loo.

Hydration

  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
  • Hydration helps maintain skin health and overall health.

Clothing

  • Wash your clothes every few days and wear clean underwear every day.
  • Change out of sweaty clothes as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation and odour.

Foot Care

  • Wash your feet daily and dry them thoroughly to prevent fungal infections.
  • Wear breathable footwear and change socks regularly to keep feet fresh.

Special Considerations for Higher Temperatures

Groin Area

  • Clean the groin area thoroughly during showers to prevent sweat buildup and bacterial growth.
  • Wear loose, breathable clothing to keep the area dry and comfortable.

Armpits

  • Keep armpits clean and dry by washing them thoroughly and using antiperspirant deodorant.

By following these simple yet effective hygiene tips you can ensure you are staying in control of your personal hygiene.
