Introduction to an unusually hectic lifestyle generally starts from the time that we are born these days. Times have gone when people had space to spare some precious moments on themselves.

Growing children tend to miss cleaning lot of body parts and this could be gross and unhealthy in long run. To ensure healthy and a germ-free body, it is important to take a few extra minutes to clean everything.

Enclosed are some common omissions and contains a small list for body parts you are not washing enough. #how to wash your body

Behind the ears

A lot of people do not wash hair regularly and thus tend to miss cleaning behind their ears. You might have some people cleaning ears often but cleaning behind the ears need an extra effort. The back of our ear is hidden so it can easily attract bacteria. For few this could cause a rash as well and it is best to avoid that pain and discomfort by making the extra effort.

My little boy enjoys water and loves taking bath but always need a hand. Children hardly clean such “tough to reach” spots and this could lead that spot to emit a foul smell as well

Belly button

Yes! This is one spot missed by lot of people. I did short survey last week and belly button was one of the most common spot overlooked by a lot of people.

An unwashed belly button is known to collect lint and results in growth of bacteria. For people who hardly clean it, they would notice a distinctly foul smell or infection. Children would hardly even look at cleaning their belly button. For kids bathing is all about fun with water!

A tip to clean belly button easily — use coconut oil to clean your belly button. Coconut oil on belly button is great for people who have dry skin

Between Toes

While taking bath, most people miss cleaning between the toes. We wear socks, shoes or stay barefoot attracting germs. If we neglect cleaning between the toes, then yucky stuff gets permanently stuck over there. This means disgusting smelly feet.

A simple way to keep your feet healthy and smell free is to wash them regularly, even between the toes. Use talcum powder to keep your feet dry whole day for that fresh feeling

Back and Butt

Of all body parts you are not washing enough It is the most difficult to keep a check on our back cleanliness since we can’t see it. Most of just land up not cleaning it properly as an end result. Not cleaning back properly could affect in a pretty bad way. Our back is covered mostly and could get clogged which could lead to infection.

Tip — get a back scrubber

Tongue

We all brush two times a day but it this enough! Our poor Tongue that helps us taste most wonderful meals is left out. Time to put some effort to clean it everyday using a simple tongue cleaner. This is as, if not more important as brushing ones teeth if you do not wish to suffer from bad breath and oral hygiene related problems.

Scalp

We do so much when it comes to achieve shinny and soft hair but most of us tend to forget our scalp. Our scalp needs more attention than our hair which we tend to miss.
