Fresh to work
Having had your morning bath and carefully followed your beauty routine, the clothes you wear should be clean and ironed. Creased dresses and unpolished shoes and handbags spoil the overall effect. Remember, your clothing must enhance the body on which you have worked so hard!
Fresh to bed
It is just as important to work at your night time beauty routine as it is in the morning. This is the time to have a luxury bath, remove all makeup, cleanse, tone and nourish your skin. Brush your hair well and set it in rollers. Dust yourself with a mildly scented talcum powder and put on a clean nightdress.
Body odour
Body odour occurs not because people do not bathe, but because people sweat. Sweat is ninety-nine percent clear, odourless water shed by the skin to regulate the body temperature and rid the body of waste. The remaining one percent is sodium chloride, which is odourless, too. So, where does the smell of sweat come from?
Sweat glands are scattered all over the body and are stimulated into action when the body temperature rises, or by a sudden emotional upsurge, like shock or fear. These glands release a liquid which has an odour when it becomes trapped in certain body zones like the armpits, where secretions from other glands are also active. Bacteria, which breed in the warmest parts of our bodies, go to work on the secretions causing rapid decomposition, the result of which is Odour.
Deodorants combat body odour and are available in many forms such as creams, roll-ons, sprays, compressed powders and soaps. Some people, however, prefer to prevent under-arm perspiration altogether by using anti-perspirant.
It used to be thought that since perspiring was one of the body’s ways of eliminating waste, stopping the flow would have a toxic effect. It has now been proved otherwise – since there are millions of sweat glands located all over the body, stopping under-arm perspiration does not prevent the other glands from adequately carrying out the task of eliminating the body’s waste. Anti-perspirants keep the armpits relatively dry, and so help to prevent staining and damage of dresses and shirts.
Freshness during your periods (FOR WOMEN)
Hygiene at this time is very important. It is now no longer necessary to use washable fabric pads; disposable cotton wool sanitary pads and tampons have made this unpleasant chore obsolete. Tampons are easy to use and trouble-free, provided they are changed regularly, but if you have any doubts about them, cotton wool pads are easy to wear but should be changed as often as necessary during the day. Choose a comfortable pad and have a regular bath at least 2 times daily, which will ensure your freshness and boost your self-confidence all day long.
