Cleanliness from Head to Toe: The Order Matters

To ensure effective cleansing, individuals should adopt a systematic approach, starting from the head and moving down to the toes. Rinse off before bathing, especially if heavily soiled. Washing hair first helps prevent residue from causing back acne. Use medicated products during the hair conditioning process for optimal effect. Every body part requires a scrub, focusing on areas prone to sweat and bacteria, such as underarms and feet, last to avoid cross-contamination. Shaving should occur on cleansed skin to prevent dirt from entering follicles, preferably in the direction of hair growth to minimize skin irritation and ingrown hairs.
