A lot of people neglect taking proper care of their feet, and truth is that feet are trapped for hours in socks and shoes, so sweat and dead skin don’t really get a chance to escape. That’s how odor, itching, and scaly patches can eventually develop.
The good thing is that just a few simple habits help with this issue. You need to clean your feet every day with warm water and gentle soap, and don’t forget to clean between your toes. Put on the sock after drying them. If you’re in closed shoes most days, an antifungal powder can be useful. Also, exfoliating once a week helps with thick skin.
It’s best to change your socks daily and use ones made from natural materials.
4. Flushing the toilet with the lid open
When you flush the toilet with the lid open, tiny invisible particles are released into the air and settle on the things you keep nearby such as your towels and your toothbrush. It’s simple. Close the lid before flushing the toile and keep your bathroom clean.
5. Wearing the same underwear to bed
Underwear absorbs sweat, natural discharge, tiny traces of urine, and dead skin even if you don’t do much throughout the day and believe you don’t sweat. That it why it is advisable to change your underwear before going to bed. Also, tend to choose underwear made of cotton and other natural materials that let the skin breath. You can even avoid wearing any underwear some nights and just put on a loose nightgown on.
6. Forgetting to clean the bathroom trash can
The bathroom bin holds used pads, tissues, and other used hygiene items that can cause odor if left there longer. The thing is that that odor build gradually and is sometimes hard to notice. What you should do is empty it regularly and wash it with soap or a vinegar-and-water mix once a week. Also, you can prevent the odor by placing a cotton ball with a drop of essential oil at the bottom.
