Well, if you think you smell bad there might be a reason. Sad to say that some people are NOT taking pride in their personal hygiene habits and we need to step it up! The Mike & Carla Morning Show talked about it this morning and it could be the result of the recent pandemic!
With that said, there is good news and bad news...the good news, more and more people are taking time to wash their face and hands! According to a recent poll put out by SNWS, 90% of people say they wash their face and hands on a regular basis. Of course if you do the math, on the flipside, that means 10% are NOT!
Most Men Do NOT Practice Good Personal Hygiene!
When it comes to other personal hygiene habits, we've dropped off a bit when you actually take the time to look into the study. When it comes to trimming our nails, only 64% of us are doing this on a regular basis. Now we don't think this means chewing our finger nails, but actually trimming them ourselves or getting a manicure!
Another personal habit that we're lacking is using mouth wash...it seems that less people are using mouthwash lately! 62% admit to using mouthwash on a regular basis, however, as we mentioned before, if you do the math, that means at least 18% of us are NOT using mouthwash...ick!
And since we're talking about our mouth, let's go one step further...how many people actually floss on a regular basis? Well, it will shock you to know that a little over half of us are flossing on a regular basis! Say it ain't so Joe!!!!
The bottom line is who has a better understanding of personal hygiene...is it men or women? Well, stand up women and take a bow because you win! Close to 60% of women say "yes, we get it!" On the flipside, a little over 40% say the same...which means a little less than 60% of men surveyed are not practicing good personal health! And we're even talking about showering and shaving.
It's a little unnerving...but if you want to scroll down and check out the Top 5 personal hygiene habits we're all doing okay in, then do it! And listen a few other items that came up this morning is a "Few Things We Think You Should Know"!
Top 5 Personal Hygiene Habits We Should All Do
#5 WASHING YOUR FACE
Only 77% of us make sure to wash our faces and provide care for our skin. As we've said before, 77% sounds like a good number until you realize the percentage of people that don't even wash their face! That's why this comes in at #5 when it comes to personal hygiene!

#4 TAKING A SHOWER
Now it's not all about just taking a shower, but more importantly washing those "intimate areas" when you do shower! Only about 81% of us take the time to wash those areas that need to be washed on a regular basis...but let's keep at it because this come in at #4 on the list!

#3 WASHING YOUR HAIR
Now we know a lot of women don't wash their hair everyday, but do men have the same excuse as woman for not doing it? Evidently we both do a good job when it comes to clean hair because 83% of us do it...that could be why it comes in at #3 on the list!

#2 USING DEODORANT OR ANTIPERSPIRANT
Glad that people surveyed are using deodorant in some way shape or form, however, wouldn't be nice if this percentage was like 100%? Although it comes in at #2 on the list, 84% use an antiperspirant on a regular basis...and I think we already have an idea of who those celebrities are that are NOT using it right? LOL!

#1 ROUTINELY BRUSHING OUR TEETH AND FLOSSING
Well, the good news is that nearly 90% of us brush our teeth on a regular basis...so does that mean 10% don't? It's #1 on the list, but let's be honest, we think it would be much better if all personal hygiene habits were at 100%? Maybe next year right?
