Good Personal Hygiene
During puberty, our skin produces more oil that makes our hair look too shiny and oily. We need to wash our hair every day with shampoo to help control the oily hair. We may need to use shampoos that are specially formulated for oily hair.
Our skin also tends to give out sweat that has a stronger smell. The best way to get rid of the body odor is to bathe twice a day using soap. This will help to wash away the bacteria that contribute to the smell.
We should wear clean clothes after we bathed. Using deodorant or an antiperspirant can help. Deodorant covers the body odor and antiperspirants actually stop or dry up the perspiration actually stop or dry up the perspiration.
During puberty, some of us may develop acne. Acne is formed when the pores on our skin are clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. It usually appears on the face, neck and shoulders. Stress may make acne worse.
Washing our face twice a day with facial cleanser and clean water helps to remove the excess oil and dirt from our skin. we should not pick or scratch the acne as it can cause the scarring of the skin. We should keep our hair away from our face. Hair spray and hair gel can clog the pores.
