#hygeine

[heartattackinblackdye]

this summer i recommend shower wipes or body wipes to people who struggle with hygiene due to disability, mental or physical. yes i know it produces unnecessary waste. yes there’s the argument of “if you buy the wipes then you’ll never shower,” but chances are most people who are struggling would Not Have Showered with or without access to wipes. i know it isnt a full shower but wiping yourself down can make a big difference in how you feel!!

along these lines you can think about buying mouthwash and getting any kind of friction at all on your teeth when it’s too hard to brush fully, dry shampoo if it’ll help keep your hair less oily when washing your hair is overwhelming, etc. you deserve easier ways to care for yourself and feel clean. also remember you are not a failure for struggling with hygiene even if society tells you otherwise!

my current hygeine routine⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🫧💕

as a girl who takes her hygeine super seriously and spends her free time pampering herself, here's my hygeine routine as of right now including products and how i use them...💬🎀

IN SHOWER ;

i use a really yummy vanilla bodywash in the shower that i bought from marshalls, it has argan oil in it which is really good for deeply moisturizing my skin, and improving the elasticity of my skin.

on days when im double cleansing i like to use the panoxyl 10% benzoyl peroxide wash. if ur a girlie who struggles with body acne i highly recommend this. i used to struggle with it a lot and this is what worked really well for me. i leave it on for 1-2 minutes before washing it off.

some other bodywashes that i love to use include the kwailnara strawberry milk body wash + lotion, i get that from tj maxx and i use it when im in the mood to smell like strawberries and cream. i also love the glycolic acid naturium body wash, it's SUPER good.

OUT OF THE SHOWER ;

on STILL WET SKIN i apply my vanilla cream body oil from sweetheart bodycare. i apply this on wet skin so that it locks in the moisture, then i go in with my palmer's shea butter body lotion. this is LITERALLY the hack if u want soft skin, apply ur lotions onto wet skin.

BEFORE MY SHOWER ;

i love dry brushing because it removes dead skin cells and improves circulation... but mostly bcuz it just makes me super super soft. it also improves cellulite. also sometimes i do more extra before shower routines but that depends on the day honestly, currently here's the program.

MY WEEKLY PROGRAM ;

mondays - i use my coffee scrub to exfoliate my skin. coffee is so good for tightening the skin and keeping it plump + elastic. and then i do my panoxyl wash before going in with my reg body wash, just to start off my week EXTRA squeaky.

tuesdays - i use a glycolic acid toner on my skin AFTER my showers, i just find that it leaves me so SOFT and it's a way for me to kind of treat my skin. i also use a body oil on my body specifically for cellulite and stretch marks (vitamin E oil). i also use an undereye mask that has retinol in it and i use teeth whitening strips (i love the guru nanda ones) i got a 32 pack for like $16 at marshalls.

and then my bodycare is pretty consistent it's like one day panoxyl deep clean and the other glycolic acid. but here are some other things i do for my hygeine during the week.

wednesdays - i like to do the aztec clay mask on my face but also on my underarms about 2x a week. typically to keep my underarms bright i use the esponja sabon soap, i honestly use that to treat hyperpigmentation anywhere on my body (underarms, knees, elbows, 🐱) but on my underarms is rly good. and i also use glycolic acid under my arms as well but i find that the aztec clay mask RLY helps. i also use it for my skin cuz its just so amazing and awesome and helps w your pores.

thursdays - i love to do pre-shampoo oiling on my hair with some biotin/castor oil. i just take some, rub it on my hands until its coated from my finger tips to the bottom of my palms, then gently comb my fingers through my hair starting and jaw length and going down. i also use my FINO hair mask in the shower and im loving the dove shampoo and conditioner bcuz it makes my hair SO soft and smell SO good.

fridays - again with an exfoliating scrub in the shower and a good sheet mask. something to hydrate my skin and keep it juicy and PLUMP. i like to use sheet masks after the aztec clay mask bcuz it kinda makes ur skin a little bit dry so the sheet mask restores that moisture.

SKINCARE ;

i use the cetaphil gentle cleansing wash, this wash is SO solid and im literally loving it so much. i also use the cetaphil moisturizer, and i use the beauty of josen sunscreen it's literally my holy grail. i use niacinamide serum in the morning + night bcuz my skin can handle it and that's all i rly do. sometimes if i wanna exfoliate i'll use the ordinary chemical exfoliator which i'll typically do 1x a week if i REMEMBER.

FOR MY FEET ;

now for my feet every evening in my shower i EXFOLIATE my heels and i slug my feet every other night. i also get regular pedicures to keep my feet super pretty and princessy. also as an athlete i'm rly careful to dry in between every single toe and crevice bcuz athlete's foot is NOT pretty. french tips are my GO-tos but sometimes i like to switch it up and get pink/white.

THINGS TO ALWAYS REMEMBER ;

clean your ears + belly button. i like to just take a cotton pad and some micellar water and clean behind my ears. but for my belly button i just use a q-tip dipped in some water bcuz it's a bit sensitive.

now for often i shower, i LIKE to shower two times a day but sometimes im too busy or that just doesn't happen and when that happens i shower once a day. i don't judge anyone who showers once a day or 2-3 times a day, it's literally what works for you. i think as long as u shower once a day you should be okay but i aim for 2.

MY ORAL HYGEINE ;

teeth whitening strips once a week SPECIFICALLY the guru nanda ones. i only use those because the crest ones always make my teeth feel SO sensitive and almost leaves my mouth feeling chemical. with guru nanda i never experience any of that which is why it's my go to, it's also SUPER effective. i oil pull with raw coconut oil once a week, usually on mondays. i brush my teeth and floss twice a day, i also tongue scrape twice a day. i use the therabreath mouthwash everyday twice a day as well.

FOR MY KITTY ;

i bought this electric shaver from tiktok shop and ever since i've been using it, it's been SO easy to keep up with myself without having to deal with razor bumps or nicks, and i never cut myself! usually i always wash with a little bit of water but after going through my period i like to use the equate feminine wash bcuz it has no scent at all and it leaves me feeling squeaky. that's the only time i ever really use feminine wash though because i feel clean using just water.

ON A MONTHLY BASIS ;

every other sunday is my maintenance day where i do my SUPERR over the top beauty regimen. which consists of.

apply hair mask to ur hair

micellar water/toner pads on ur skin

cleanser

clay mask

brush teeth with a bit of baking soda to whiten

floss and use mouthwash

ordinary red chemical serum on under arms to lighten

dry brush elbows

wash hair

wash body with body wash

full body scrub with sugar scrub

eye mask and sheet mask

oil and brush hair

remove sheet mask and squeeze the excess on ur neck and chest

now on the last day of every month i do a morrocan bath. i bought the materials online and ever since i've started doing that it's absolutely changed the game for my bodycare, it is time consuming but the feeling of cleanliness afterwards is literally unmatched.

HAIRCARE ;

i use the FINO hair mask every single time i wash my hair, it helps with damage and it also makes your hair smell so so GOOD. i always shampoo twice and i have a little scalp massager. i imagine my scalp and my hair being sectioned off into 8 sections and in those 8 sections i use my scalp massager 8 times. like i literally count to 8. this stimulates growth and makes sure im rly getting in thereee. i also emulsify my shampoo with a little foam maker.

i let my conditioner sit a little bit while im washing my body and before leaving the shower i rinse my hair + body in some cold water for like ten seconds. i already talked about my pre-shampoo oiling routine and how to do it above. sometimes i make my own hair masks based on my hair concerns, anyone can do it with some research and household ingredients and the masks work amazing.

i know that this might seem like a lot, but for me it's TOTALLY do-able. taking care of myself is literally my hobby and going that extra mile for myself satisfies me SO much...💬🎀

I’m fed up of people shaming others for not showering or cleaning themselves often.

Yes. It is unpleasant to be around people who haven’t cleaned themselves when they should have. But those people are often also very likely to be aware that they’re not clean and are embarrassed about it. There’s so many valid reasons why someone isn’t keeping as clean as they maybe should be.

For one. Mental health issues can make it so you have little mental (and often physical) energy to be able to do anything outside the bare minimum. And in this society, being able to go work and make money is often prioritised over wellbeing, which it shouldn’t be but how else is anyone going to get food on the table and pay rent.

Physical disabilities also can make it hard to clean yourself. Whether it’s joint issues that mean you can’t move around properly, or heart rate and blood pressure issues that mean you can’t stand for very long, or a ton of other things. It makes it harder to clean yourself - yes people who can’t stand for long can use a bath instead but not everyone has access to a bath, and baths are also a lot less convenient than showers, or there could be other reasons they can’t use a bath.

There’s also conditions such as hyperhidrosis that mean that people sweat more than they should, meaning that they often can’t shower as often as is needed to keep clean due to the overproduction meaning they’d need to shower every few hours.

Someone could also be homeless and unable to access running water to be able to clean themself easily.

There’s so many freaking reasons! People need to stop just judging others off the bat and actually think for once.

About to take a bath who's proud of me

[barbienoir]

achieving buttery smooth skin ° ᡣ𐭩 . ° .

achieving soft skin starts before the shower!! so having a pre shower routine is essential

DRY BRUSHING

get. a. dry. brush. just do it. it made my skin so so soft before I even got into the shower. dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, exfoliates the skin, removes toxins, etc. i do this one- two times per week! but it all depends on your skin sensitivity.

MOISTURIZING

right when you get out of the shower, you need to moisturize. lotion, body oil to seal everything in, and then perfume, all in that order = the softest skin ever

SHAVING

something that could cause dry skin is your shaving routine. its recommended to use at least a four blade razor to get the closest, smoothest shave. I personally like using baby oil or something along the lines of that to shave because it doesn't irritate skin and it always makes my shave come out amazing. please please exfoliate before you shave. it removes the layer of dead skin so you're able to get a closer shave

EXFOLIATING

same thing with the dry brush, i love a good sugar scrub or exfoliating gloves. keep in mind you don't need to use these every single day since it will damage your skin.

SOME OF MY FAVE PRODUCTS FOR SOFT SKIN:

EOS vanilla cashmere body lotion

palmers cocoa butter body oil

victoria's secret vanilla body oil

bath and body works strawberry pound cake lotion

treehut sugar scrubs

pure shea butter

palmers body gloss
