If you have sensitive skin, avoid soaps with heavy perfumes or antibacterial ingredients. Don’t use a loofah—they breed bacteria! Use a washcloth or even your hands, instead.
If you have dry hair, don’t wash it more than every other day. Don’t wash your hair too often, or else the oils in your hair will be removed. Twice a week is enough.

Replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months to keep bacteria from building up and to prevent damage to your gums from worn bristles. Don’t forget to floss your teeth every day as well!
You can even shower in the morning without worrying about the effectiveness of your deodorant—it’s already been absorbed!
You may want to change your socks several times per day if you have especially stinky or sweaty feet.
You can add 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of white vinegar to your washing machine during the rinse cycle to help eliminate odors and remove sweat. [8] X Research source
If your shoes cannot be washed, use a cotton ball dipped in alcohol to wipe out the interior and kill bacteria. Alternate between several pairs of shoes if possible. Wear one pair one day and another pair the next day to give your other shoes time to air out and dry out.
Avoid wearing too much perfume or cologne as it can be overpowering. If you desire a lighter scent, simply spritz the perfume or cologne in the air and walk beneath it. Don’t rub the scent into your skin, such as by rubbing your wrists together, or it won’t last as long.
When the need arises, simply grab your kit and excuse yourself to use the restroom and freshen up.
