[@christinagipperich2780]

Yes! Especially if you work in healthcare or have some kind of surgery scheduled. So many people in healthcare wear fake nails of some kind which is actually against most hospital policies. People getting some kind of laparoscopic surgery often don’t think to clean their belly buttons but that is actually where one of the scopes is inserted. The OR nurses often end up doing it for you. Yuck! Lastly, if you’re having any kind of procedure done, shower before you leave home. Depending on what you’re having done, you might not be able to get a good shower/bath for a while. So many people come to the hospital dirty and it creates a lot of problems with recovery.

When I was a nursing student I gave a lovely old lady a bed bath before she discharged and her toes were funky. Have seen much worse but I remember her because she was so grateful. Talk to your occupational therapist, they make so many tools to help wash yourself if you just tell them you can’t reach something.

[@christinagipperich2780]

So true! OTs are a great resource for people no matter what their impairment. The sad thing about older people in the hospital is that you may see the signs of worsening self care in small ways…over grown nails, poor skin care, or just generally poor hygiene. Some of this might be the understaffing at the nursing facility they came from or may be simply because they can’t do the task for some reason. When you notice this in your patients, harass your docs for an OT consult or referral.

[@msladyg4504]

Hi Dr. Dray! Parents are responsible for teaching their own children basic proper hygiene and if it's also taught in school then that's an added bonus, but unfortunately not all parents do so and for that unfortunate fact it's a blessing that your channel exists.

[@stevedorecharley2849]

The hand washing! I got better at this when I started changing diapers. COVID got me even more into it. But I started slacking off when COVID seemed more under control in 2023ish. I’m now reforming myself and making good hand washing a priority again. I carry moisturizer and sunscreen with me now, so even when I’m not at home I can moisturize or reapply a moisturizing sunscreen after hand washing. Apparently I need to be reminded how important it is every once in awhile. I’m hoping to make it an ingrained habit eventually.

[@amandamyers3307]

For me, my indulgence is nice hand soap. I get the (quite pricey!) foaming soaps from Bath & Body Works. I find that I love washing my hands because I enjoy the scent so much. I especially love the citrus scents like lemon and orange. It feels like a luxury to wash my hands. (Stock up when they go on sale!)

[@edie4321]

Sunscreens and most lotions are full of poisons that you rub into your body's biggest organ. The whole notion that the sun causes skin cancer was made up to sell us poison, to ensure future medical needs. It is sunglasses that cause sun burn as they block the eyes' ability to regulate its intake. Our bodies were made perfectly, and completely self regulating, and healing.

Dr. Dray gives helpful advice. I spend most of my day barefoot now that I work from home and like to wash my feet before bed. It feels great. Also never use the same washcloth twice. I buy white cotton no name washcloths by the dozen on Amazon, use once and get a new one out. Always wash my feet last! I use separate facial wash and drying towels, too. Good advice to change towels more often. Never used feminine hygiene products. I’m super allergic to stuff so have avoided them. I do use Dr Strum V wash for external wash. It’s gentle as I can’t use most soaps.

I do have one comment to make re: sunscreen. I began using sunscreen diligently after I developed a skin cancer on my face, my neck/chest area, and one of my arms. (I played volleyball on the beach all through high school and college.) I was afraid of allowing any skin exposed to the sun to not be covered with sunscreen. After two years, I discovered I had a vitamin D deficiency and osteopenia. My doctor asked if I wore sunscreen all of the time. I told him, "Yes, diligently!" He suggested that I try other methods of protecting myself against over-exposure, like wearing a hat, wearing lightweight long sleeved fabrics, etc. He stated that I needed to try to go outside for about 15 minutes a day for some exposure, even reflective exposure. So, I did. I went back after about 6 months to see my doctor (after lab work) and found my deficiencies had resolved. So, I use sunscreen sparingly and just don't stay in the sun very long without dressing for it.

[@Hi_Im_Akward]

That's interesting, I didn't know sunscreen could block that.

For anyone with concerns about dry hands from hand washing, make sure you use lotion afterwards if you can, and having oil on hand can help too.

Towels…my most OCD obsession. Change face cloth (drying) and cleansing cloths daily. Have two towels that change out during the week. Maybe I will add another one!

[@no_peace]

Hygiene Olympics activates my nervous system but if anyone needs a way to have a clean washcloth: I keep a dollar tree bin of washcloths in the bathroom where I can reach them from the shower. I have a short square holey hamper for towels, and inside that hamper there's a second holey basket for washcloths. Since they're kept separate and there's ventilation, they don't get the towels wet, and they dry pretty fast. After each shower I toss the wash cloth in there. You could dry it more carefully before throwing it in, or hang it on the side of the inner basket. But it's fine this way too. It's not that much more laundry and you get a perfectly clean cloth

*it's fine this way too if you don't live in a humid area lol

I find olive oil soap very effective for the body ( and guilty I use it also on my face )

There is a standardized curriculum for teaching hygiene such as brushing teeth, showering, etc. for people with mental disabilities who need the extra help. That's where I first heard a few of these tips (like between toes) But it sounds like we all need a lot of this info!
