WHAT IT CAN LOOK LIKE.
As you go through puberty, your body changes in ways that make hygiene even more important. You might start to sweat more, which can lead to body odour, or you may notice oilier skin, which can cause acne. These changes are normal, but they mean you’ll need to pay more attention to how you care for your body every day. Talking about hygiene with your parents or a trusted adult can help you learn how to manage these changes and feel more confident.
DEALING WITH THE CHANGE.
To stay clean and feel fresh during puberty, there are a few simple things you can do. Showering or bathing regularly, especially after sports or activities, will help wash away sweat and oils. Using deodorant can help with body odor, and washing your face daily can reduce oil buildup and prevent pimples. Changing your clothes regularly, especially underwear and socks, is also important for staying comfortable and clean throughout the day.
ASK FOR ADVICE.
If you’re unsure about hygiene or feel embarrassed about the changes you’re noticing, it’s okay to ask for advice. Talking to your parents, a teacher, or even a doctor can help you understand what’s happening and how to take care of your body.
Remember, everyone goes through these changes during puberty, and learning about hygiene will help you feel more confident as your body continues to grow.
