Lets talk about hygeine

[Prodigy746]

Reason i am asking this is many times i smell my self and ask if i stink or if my breath is in good shape. Sometimes if i think i dont it brings my confidence down because i smelled some people that smelled bad and promised my self that i will not be that guy. I guess i am self concious when it comes smelling good so i would like to know what you guys do to make sure that you DONT STINK

I usually Get up
Take shower
floss
Brush teeth
put on deodorant

I heard some people shower before going to bed and when waking up... i dont do that since i dont think its really necessary to shower before going to bed.

Also, how often do you brush your teeth. I do 2 times before going to bed and after.

What kind of deodorant do you use. I use axe sometime but most of the time i only use Gillette stick

I dont use any cologne

I just want to see what you guys do so i can make sure i am being as clean as possible and smell as fresh as possible

Also do you take anything for bad breath other than normal brushing and mouthwash. I find my self chewing on gums many times because i fear my breath might be stinking. And lets face it we have all been near someone that has had bad breath and well you know how turned off you got especially if it was opposite sex.

Showering once in the morning is fine.

Anything more and you'll probably dry your skin out.

That is unless you work out regularly either cardio or weights or both in which case you would then be justified in showering twice a day.

Yea exactly . And my hair stylist said that using shampoo too much demages your hair .Once a day is OK .

 

[MrS]

I shower in the evening.
Deodorant in the morning.
Brush teeth twice a day.

I don't moisturise or floss.

I shower once a day (unless I work out) use deodorant after my shower. I use shampoo every other day.

 

[squelchy451]

Should I use Axe? I normally don't use cologne (deodorant only) but if i want to smell nice, should I use Axe and which one should I use?

Where do I buy one?
The only places I can get to where I live w/o a car (can't drive yet) are Ralphs, Vons, RiteAid, some banks, my house, school, and that's it.

i was concerned about bad breath as well. What I do is brush my teety, then use a tongue scraper (or a popsicle stick) then I gargle with hydrogen peroxide mixed with water.... like half a mouth full.

I still use mouthwash as well.
