   1] NOT genital care for either – thay would def have to get approved thru channels2] NOT any sex topics [ contraceptives, STDs - also would have to go thry channels3] hopefully they already know about handwashing: a] most infections can be and are spread by dirty handsb] use warm water, soap, and frictionc] scrub each finger, all of fronts/backs of hands4] deodorant:a] wash pits daily [ during shower or bath ]b] hairless pits hold less bacteria, so smell lessc] apply deodorant to freshly washed, thoroughly dry pits for best results5] oral hygiene: a] brush a minimum of twice daily; ideally after every meal [ gotta brush the tongue too - holds lots of bacteria ]b] floss dailyc] use mouthwash without alcohol if you wishc] dentist twice a year [ teeth cleaning will prevent some dental problems, and filling cavities early will save a LOT of potential pain6] bathe/shower/sponge bath [ of everything ] daily7] hair: a] wash hair often enough it doesn't look greasy/stringy – some of us need it every day, some once a weekb] wet hairc] apply a quarter size dollop of shampoo to hands, rub together, and scrub scalp [ NOT hair - that just causes tangles ]d] conditionere- if needed – a quarter size dollop, applied to hair, NOT scalp – it will just make scalp greasy fasterf] rinse, rinse, rinse8] my skin care tips [ work for me, my kids, nierces,.nephews ]:a] buy face wash, sunscreen, and moisturizer for YOUR skin type – oily, dry, combination, normal, sensitiveb] wash and sunscreen in AM; wash and moisturize at nightc] exfoliate once a week with an apricot scrub – removes dead skin, old oil, dried sebum [ skin wax ] that clog pores and cause zitsd] almost forgot!!
