Discover how to take care of the personal hygiene of the whole family

Dry skin

Taking care of personal hygiene is nowadays one of the three most important pillars to prevent the spread of viruses, along with maintaining social distance and cleaning and disinfecting surfaces.

As we have been informed by the authorities, staying at home is paramount, but even when we are at home we must maintain body care. This is an essential measure of protection if we live with other people, if we have to go out to work or if we have gone shopping.

In this article, we will learn effective tips to take care of both our personal hygiene and that of the little ones in the house.

Personal hygiene: what it is and why it is so important:

Personal hygiene is a set of measures and precautions that we must take when it comes to preventing the transmission of diseases and viruses, but it is also important for our health and appearance.

Benefits of taking care of personal hygiene:

  • It prevents illness.
  • Increases self-esteem, a fundamental point to keep us positive, as being good with ourselves is key to being good with others. Introducing body care into our personal routine, such as moisturising our skin, will make us feel healthy as well as offer us moments of disconnection and wellbeing.
  • Maintaining healthy skin today is essential for strong, youthful skin in the future. Skin care helps to prevent future skin disorders such as dryness, sensitivity, itching and irritation, etc.

Tips for maintaining good personal hygiene, skin care and hydration.

To take good care of our personal hygiene, we must be consistent in our hygiene and moisturising routines and carry them out thoroughly and thoroughly.

It is very common to use products that, in a continuous and persistent manner, can damage the skin. Soaps with aggressive or irritating detergents can reduce the lipid layer of our skin.
For this reason, we recommend using Lactovit shower gels specialised in caring for and re-strengthening our skin thanks to the benefits and properties of milk incorporated in all their formulas.

Once you get out of the shower, it is essential that you dry your whole body properly, especially the areas with creases (behind the ears, between the toes, etc.).
For a more complete nourishment, Lactovit recommends finishing the bathing ritual by applying a body lotion. Your skin will be instantly soft and silky.

Finally, we can apply a deodorant from the wide range of Lactovit products to maintain the feeling of cleanliness and care for longer.

Hygiene and care of the little ones:

We know the importance of body care for the youngest members of the family. At Lactovit we want to help you discover the steps your children should follow to keep their skin healthy at all times.

1. Wash hands and body properly

It is very important to teach children to wash themselves properly and to cover the entire surface of their hands and body with soap. It is vital that we teach them to wash their hands as indicated by the OCU (Organisation of Consumers and Users).

2. Learning to shower on their own

They are probably at an age when it is still difficult for them to shower on their own without our help, but it is important that they learn to keep their bodies clean to protect them. Use this time at home to show them how much fun it is: play music, play with them making bubbles and use Lactovit shower gels for it.

3. An exclusive towel

In order to maintain careful personal hygiene we should not share a towel, as we are likely to transfer viruses to the next person who uses it. That is why your children should exclusively use their towel and you should exclusively use yours.

4. Deep moisturising of the skin

This prevents redness, itching and sensitivity and at the same time nourishes the skin to keep it healthy. We recommend using Lactovit shower gels and body lotions to ensure optimal care for the whole family.

Now we know the benefits of good personal hygiene and what values we and our children need to learn in order to maintain effective and complete body cleanliness.
