#40: Hands Off Your Face
According to this Reddit user, one of the most effective actions you can take for your hygiene is to adopt a strict “hands-off” policy when it comes to your face. And no, we’re not talking about the occasional nose-pick or eye rub (though those are pretty unsavory, too). We mean genuinely committing to keeping your hands away from your face, especially when you’re out and about.
Why, you ask? Well, for starters, your hands are teeming with germs and bacteria that can effortlessly transfer to your eyes, nose, and mouth – which nobody wants. Additionally, if you’re prone to breakouts or skin irritation, touching your face can exacerbate these issues. So, the next time you feel the urge to scratch that itch or adjust your glasses, just remember: your face will thank you for letting it be.
