While personal hygiene is important, there are many acts of personal hygiene that are best done in private.  Wait until you are alone, either in a restroom or off by yourself before taking care of the following items.

•    Picking something out of your teeth
•    Brushing your hair
•    Applying make-up, lipstick is often acceptable to apply in public
•    Getting something out from under your fingernails
•    Checking yourself for bad breath or body odor
•    Adjusting pants or undergarments

While some of these may not seem like a very big deal, some find them rude and offensive to do in public.

Bad Breath Bonus:

Many times we cannot tell when we have body odor or bad breath.  When we keep up with personal hygiene practices daily, we don’t need to worry about it.  But here are a few ways to know if you have bad breath:

Bad Breath Test #1:

Cup both of your hands around your nose and mouth.  Breathe out through your mouth and see how it smells.

Bad Breath Test #2:
Lick the inside of your wrist.  Wait 10 seconds and see if your wrist has an odor.  That odor is the same odor of your breath.
