Staying fresh and cool.

Salam!

Today i'll be talking about something that's kinda like a forbidden topic. Lol!
Feeling and smelling fresh for a long period of time is really important in building self esteem, it also makes it easier for you to get along with people, as most people consider bad smell as a huge turn-off. Trust me. I know!
Bad smell comes in different forms. It could come in form of mouth odour or body odour, I know this is getting awkward, please just stay with me. Most times it might have nothing to do with your personal hygiene routine, but staying fresh, just requires some extra effort. *wink*.
So you brush your teeth twice a day, and you take your bath twice a day and you think that's enough? No mehn, it isn't!. To maintain that freshness you get from taking your bath and brushing your teeth, here are a few inexpensive tips to apply.

* Tongue Scraping. Yeap! Tongue scraping. Simply
because brushing twice a day might be sufficient for
some people to maintain that fresh breath everyday, but for some people, it's just not enough. The tongue is usually coated with bacteria. This is the major cause of mouth odour and brushing the tongue doesn't get it all out. Also the toothbrush can't get through to the back of your tongue, which sometimes retains food residue. As technical as Tongue Scraping may sound, it's an easy procedure that can be carried out right in the comfort of your bathroom.The tongue scraper

is a tool that can be bought from any good pharmaceutical store. But if you can't find it, or you
just don't want to go through that stress, then don't
worry, i've got your back *wink*.
Simply make use of a silver table spoon, this table spoon is going to be reserved for this purpose only.
So here is how you go about it.
- apply a little amount of toothpaste on your tongue and let it seat for a few minutes.
- with the silver table spoon, gently scrap the tongue, from inside-out. Be careful not to push the particles down your throat. Remember, the goal is to bring it all out. Gently repeat the process twice or thrice for best results.
- then go ahead and brush your teeth as you normally
would.
The tongue scrapping exercise can be carried out once a day for 3days. Then subsequently just once a week would be enough.
* Deodorant/ Anti-perspirant:

Most people get the misconception that people who make use of Anti-perspirants or deodorants have body odour. This isn't mostly the case. Some people make use of this item just to stay fresh. I personally recommend Nivea blue for males and Nivea white for females, Dove is also a very good brand for females. No special procedure is required for this, just apply the deodorant/ Anti-perspirant right on your under arms after your bath and that's it! Your life would literally change for ever. Lool!
For once your friends would stop running away from you - okay, maybe i'm taking this too far. But even you would start feeling better about yourself and your confidence would fly from 10% to 100%.
Lastly, if your friend or someone close to you suffers from this problem, it's your responsibility to tell them about it and offer ways to help them. But remember to bring it up in the most humble manner. A manner which shows your concern for them, rather than making them feel inferior or bad about their situation.

Till next time again. Stay fresh!

Salam!
