We can reduce the risk of infection and toxic waste accumulation by regularly washing, cleaning and bathing. Dirty and polluted skin can block pores and hinder the expulsion of wastes. The skin excretes substances via sweat, as you probably know. The skin must be cleaned daily from sweat and sweat deposits. It is the decomposition in sweat that causes an unpleasant body smell. This happens about six hours after you have sweated.

Daily baths are a must

To the bathwater, rose petals, oils of rose, sandalwood, etc., were added. To wash the body, you could also make your infusions. These infusions are still possible. Soak the neem leaves overnight in warm water. The next morning, use the water to wash your skin. It is a great way to soothe rashy skin conditions and prevent infection. Similar uses can be made for Fenugreek (methi) seeds.

Pay particular attention to your feet.

You can dry your feet well when it is hot and then apply talcum powder. It would help if you kept your feet dry and moisturized in winter when wearing socks or shoes. Open footwear is best in summer. This will allow sweat to evaporate. This prevents fungal infections such as athlete’s foot or ringworm that can grow on moist skin.

Keep your clothes clean.

Your clothes are also a part of cleanliness and hygiene. Sweat sticks to clothes, leading to unpleasant odours and a stale appearance. Make sure to change your underclothes every day.

The cool, porous material allows perspiration to evaporate and escapes.
