Even at home, do wash your face at least twice a day using a facial cleanser or face wash. Do not use soap, body gel or body scrub on the face as it will strip your skin of essential moisture and upset its natural pH balance, leaving it irritated and dry. You can also use facial masks such as mud, clay, homemade or oatmeal masks. There’s a mask out there for every type of skin. This allows for the removal of blackheads found on your nose and cheeks, and sometimes on your chin and ears.

Sweat post workout can clog your pores trapping oil and dead skin cells inside, which leads to zits and painful cystic acne not only on your face, but also on your back, arms and legs. The only solution is to get in the shower and lather yourself with a body wash that contains salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Avoid using excessively hot water. Hot showers and baths can cause dryness, redness, itching, and even peeling. Use only lukewarm water always.

Groin area-grooming should not be forgotten. Nether regions are usually moist, warm and dark – all great for bacteria to breed. Presence of bacteria down there can cause bad odour and skin infection. So wash the area regularly and dry it gently and thoroughly. Use an antifungal dusting powder after drying the area. Wear an underwear that breathes well.
Also, change your towel regularly and keep your bed sheets super clean since they are typically made of a polyester/cotton blend that tends to trap odour.
