What personality is? Personality is a term everyone uses. It is used in various

ways shown in such remarks as, “She has a lot of personality”, “She’s nice looking but
she has no personality”. Personality is usually judged by one’s physical appearance,
manner of talking, and ways of doing things.

In life we tend to accept or reject others according to what we think about their
personalities. Employers often tend to hire or promote a person on personality than on
what she knows about the job.

Once others have decided on the nature of our personalities, they tend to treat as
accordingly. Often the judgment is based on a first impression and does not change even
though the interpretation was erroneous and our behavior changed dramatically. This
unchanging opinion of others based only on a first general impression is known as the
“halo effect”. For example, during the first meeting of a class, a student inadvertently
makes an inappropriate remark to the instructor. The instructor labels the student a “wise
guy” for the rest of the semester even though the student behaves himself appropriately
after that first day.

People often fall in love and marry because they believe their personalities match
well. They enjoy the same activities and their opinions, interest and values are similar we
see that the opinions formed by others about our personalities have far-reaching effects in
our lives.

But what does personality really mean? Psychologist, sociologist and behavioral
scientist have given various definitions but they all use similar concepts. Some
definitions emphasize the effect a person has no others – her ability to win cooperation,
friendship, confidence, etc. other definitions emphasize the organization or balance of
personal qualities.

1
 Meaning of Personality: as the sum total of the qualities and characteristics of a
person as shown in her manner of walking, talking, dressing, and ways of reacting to
other people. It refers to all the factors within the person that influence his characteristic
ways of behaving, thinking and feeling.

What are the aspects of personality?

Worker may have a pleasing personality and yet not be considered for promotion
because other aspects of her personality is handicap in her work. This was the case of
Trixia, an expert steno-typist who could type and take stenographic notes with speed and
accuracy. She was pretty and was dressed like a fashion plate. She was popular with men.
Yet, Trixia was not promoted to executive secretary when the accounting department was
reorganized. Another girl was promoted. Trixia’s popularity had made her so satisfied
with herself that she had neglected to keep up in her field. She lacked executive ability,
resourcefulness and initiative.

Being pleasing and attractive in appearance is only one aspect of personality. In

general, the following are the aspects of personality.

1. Physical. This includes the mode of dressing, manner of walking, posture,

body build, health, complexion, and facial expression.
2. Intellectual. How a person talks and what she talks about is what matters in
the intellectual aspects of personality.
3. Social. Good manners, norms of conducts and ethics are included in this
aspect of personality. To do the right things at the right time, to act in the
proper manner, to get along well with others – these are parts of social sphere
of personality.
4. Emotional. This aspect includes a person’s likes or dislikes, whether she is
outgoing or shy, whether she is calm or nervous, and whether she loses her
temper easily or “keep her cool”. Personality problems, such as how to stay
mentally healthy or how to avoid mental disorders are some problems that are
emotional in nature.
5. Moral. This includes a person’s attitude, values, beliefs, and philosophy of
life. This moral aspect is referred to as character. It is shown in the way we
judge whether our actions and actions of others are right or wrong.

The personality of a secretary is made up of two sets of traits: traits which affect
her performance and the traits which affect her relationship with others. The traits which
comprise the first set are the following: executive ability, punctuality, accuracy,
intelligence, orderliness, initiative, dependability, resourcefulness, persistence and
follow-through.

Traits that affect her relationship with others are: loyalty, poise, tact, discretion,
self-confidence, versatility, pleasant voice, sense of humor, good posture, speed of mental
reaction, patience, and pleasing appearance.

 How personality is revealed.

Personality is not revealed in one meeting. It unmasks itself, so to speak, in

various ways. Sometimes, crisis, situations reveal the real personality. We have heard
such remarks as “I never thought that she was so selfish and so self-centered,” or “it was
only after we got married that I realized how kind and thoughtful he is” or “After years of
courtship did I realize what a wonderful person he is,” etc.

In a boy-meets-girl situation, the first impression is usually based on appearance –

physical stature, grooming, facial features, gait, poise, etc. A favorable impression is
usually created by a beautiful face, a regal walk, and is always a pleasant and lasting one.
Appropriate clothes and good grooming add to that first favorable impression.
When the two begin to exchange ideas the boy reacts to her voice, her words, her
interest and manner of expressing herself. Her intelligence starts revealing itself. If she
has nothing to say, the impression created by the lovely face and regal bearing is erased.
She might impress him as “beautiful but dumb”. If what she says, however, makes sense
and is interesting and informative, she may create the impression of being the “beauty
and brains” type.

The acquaintance ripens into friendship. Each will observe how the others react to
problem situations. Is she nervous? Is she calm? Does she raise her voice often? Is she
easily rattled? If so, she is nervous and emotionally unstable. On the other hand, if she
keeps her composure under stress and is not easily upset in times of crises, she possesses
a high degree of emotional stability.

Social situations will bring other impressions. One who acts like a “Victorian
Lady” may fittingly suit a man who has excellent manners when he is with company.
“She is a lady in every way”, is a comment given to a girl with fine manners and finesse.
Manners may be based on traditions and conventions of time and people tend to follow
certain established behavior.

A friendship deepens into more stable and meaningful one, and the real self shows
itself, other aspects of personality reveals themselves. Her set of values and beliefs and
her attitudes which determine her philosophy of life affect the way she solves her
problems and reacts to situations. As a Filipina, her religion usually influences her way of
thinking in many ways.

This sequence of impressions should not lead one to believe, however, that
personality unfold itself exactly in this order. The totality of an individual’s behavior is
evaluated as a whole not in separate pieces, although one or two aspects of one’s
personality may create a stronger impression than others.

Why is the study of personality important?

What does the study of the human personality have to do with you and your daily
life?
The study of human personality could very well be one of the most significant
studies for you not only now but in the future as well. For it is through understanding of
your own personality and the personalities of your fellowman that will spell the
difference between success and failure in your dealings with them. An understanding of

3
your personality and of others can make the difference between satisfactory and
unsatisfactory adjustment.

If you were to ask people of various ages and walks of life what their most
pressing personal problem is, many of them would say: Understanding my fellowman
(whether a parent, a spouse, a superior, a child, a girlfriend or boyfriend, etc.)

Most of us see only some small aspects of the true personalities of those around
us. We only see the roles people play: the parent, the son or daughter, the teacher, the
spouse, etc. in other words, what we see in surface behavior may not really represent the
entire personality of the individual.

Mistakes in evaluating and judging personalities are often one of the major causes
for the interpersonal problems involved in marriage, dating, business partnerships or or
relations between friends. The study of personality should therefore, result in our
attempts to improve our own personality as well as to understand others so that we can
adjust to them and have harmonious relations with them.

Factors that Determine Personality

It is possible to clarify all the factors that determine personality into 1) heredity
and 2) environment. We are born with a complex set and combinations of genes that
provide the basis for physical and psychological development. Although the heredity may
set the limits, a person’s potential is achieved or not achieved between his environments.
Our experience in the environment, especially our interaction with other people in the
home and the school, lead to development of our self-concept which also greatly
influences our personality.

There have been many attempts to estimate the relative importance of heredity
and environment on personality development. There is evidence that children reared in
impoverished environments generally suffer deficient language and intellectual and
emotional responsiveness and inadequacy in relating to other persons. However, not all
children reared in impoverished environments are equally defective twins who are reared
in separate environments show greater equality of scores on intelligence tests than
unrelated children reared in separate environments. The greater similarity of intelligence
between twins is explained on the basis of greater similarity in genetic endowments. Yet,
there is ample evidence that intelligence scores of children are influenced by
environmental circumstances.

The safest conclusion, at the present time, is to state that the effects of heredity
and environment can not be separated from each other.

The environmental determinants of personality.

The most important aspect of the environmental determinants of personality

development includes family interactions that occur very early in life. Such interaction
that the child has with his parents affects his capacity to love, the capacity to learn, the
process of socialization, etc.

Aside from interaction with our family, the social groups to which we belong
exert pressure on us to behave in certain ways. Our behavior changes with the situation
4
and with the people we are with. We behave differently when we are with our peers than
we are with older people.

The self. What we think and how we feel about ourselves or our self-concepts is
the focus around which our personality is formed, maintained and through which it
changes. Our self-concepts affect our ways of behaving, thinking and feeling about
ourselves and about others. If I feel good about myself, I have self-confidence to face
others and to meet the challenges of a task. If I feel inadequate and insecure about myself,
I tend to avoid people and situations. I may even show hostility to other persons or to
groups of persons.
There are three (3) components of the self: the perceptual, the conceptual, and the
attitudinal components. The perceptual component includes the way we view ourselves
and how we feel others see us. The conceptual component includes what we think about
our abilities, assets and limitations. It also includes feeling about our past (including our
origin and family background) and about our future. The attitudinal component includes
the attitudes that we have developed about ourselves such as our self-esteem or self-
reproach, or whether we see ourselves with pride or with shame. As we get older, this
component encompasses values, ideas, and convictions. The resulting expression of these
is often called our philosophy of life.

Improving Personality.

Even though much of our personality is set early in life, experiences in later life
do have an influence on our behavior. Sometimes an event such as an experience of
success or failure may bring about drastic changes in personality patterns.
Fortunately, personality can be improved. Charm, popularity, glamour- these are
only a part of personality. There is much more to our personality than the impression we
make on others. Personality shows itself even where there are no people around us to
impress.

All of us are constantly evaluation and modifying our behavior in the light of our
experiences of success or failure. We all have ideas about ourselves. What may bother us
is the accuracy of our self appraisal. Are we realistic? Have we underestimated or
overestimated our abilities? The important thing is that our self appraisal will help us
develop our personalities so that we can better interact with other people.

Remember that you are the architect of your own personality. The building blocks
of your personality structure contain diversities of experiences. The more you get
involved in the world and the more you accept its challenges, the greater you will be the
opportunities to test out what you believe to be true about yourself and to build your
personality.

Techniques in improving our personality.

In improving anything, there are usually four steps to follow:

1. Realize that improvement is needed;
2. have a strong motive or desire to improve;
3. take an inventory or make a checklist of the strong and weak points of what is
to be improved; and
4. Have a step-by-step plan for improvement.

5
 If you feel that you are perfect and needed no improvement, then you can not be
helped. But if you can say to yourself that you can stand some improvement and have a
strong desire to improve, and then you can go on to steps 3 and 4.

Techniques for understanding the personalities of others.

How you can better understand the personalities of others? Living and working
with others at home, at work or at play requires that we understand their personalities so
that we can get along with them. There are certain techniques that may help us become
more sensitive and empathetic toward others. Let us look at some of these.

1. Self-disclosure. This involves letting yourself go and letting your feelings

show. You stop hiding your feelings and attitudes. In turn, you also listen to
another person disclose himself/herself. People who are more open, more self-
disclosing, tend to understand others because they learn the thoughts and the
feelings of others.

2. Role-playing. This means taking part of another person (such as your parent,
your spouse, your boss, etc.) and trying to see things from his/her perspective
and to see how the World is viewed from his/her point of view.

3. Sensitivity training. This is a rather new approach to helping people become

more understanding of their fellowman. Essentially, this involves a group of
people who intereact together in many different levels over a period of time.
On one level, they may interact with each other on a purely physical basis by
touching one another without any verbal communication. On another level,
they may speak very openly to each other, telling each other just how they
feel. Although this technique is still highly explanatory and an expert is
needed to facilitate it, it seems to help people work better together,
particularly in business and educational institutions.

4. Travel. Even though this not commonly recognized as a method for

understanding the personalities of others, there is no doubt that traveling to
other parts of the country and of the world can help us to be more
understanding and tolerant of others. By seeing how other Filipinos belonging
to the cultural minorities and living in other places or seeing how different
cultural and racial groups differ as a result of such factors as weather, religion,
cultural norms and values, customs, political systems, etc. can make us more
tolerant and aware that all people really have the same basic needs but their
ways of satisfying these needs may differ.

Health and Personality

Good health is the foundation of personality. People who are in good health are
more attractive than those who are sick, tired, or under tension. Those who glow with
vigor and vitality have an attractiveness that is almost magnetic. Good health insures
greater opportunities for success and happiness in life.

6
 The term “health” does not only refer to bodily health but also to health of mind.
Emotional stability and mental health are just as important as physical health.

Physical Health

What is the common denominator in keeping one’s good looks? Luciana

Pignatelli who is well known in the beauty and fashion world, said that discipline is
important – discipline in what one eats, in her exercise, in her beauty routine, in the
organization of her day so that there is enough time for duty and pleasure. She is
unforgiving with anyone who claims that she has no time to take care of herself.
Something must be wrong with the way a person organizes her day. If she cannot find a
little time for herself. Even a one day a week dedicated to beauty would give the greatest
boost to spirits and will count later on when the years take their toll.

To achieve good looks, one needs adequate medical care, proper diet, sufficient
exercise, rest, sleep and good posture habits. The body, like a machine, wears out in time.
If one takes care of herself, she will add more years to her life and make herself a more
pleasant person.

Medical check-up, including an E-ray of the chest, is essential. Also, a yearly visit
to a dentist is important. One of the problems of supervisors in the office is how to tell a
subordinate that she has a bad breath. It is very embarrassing to do so. The best thing,
therefore, is to avoid creating such problems and visit the dentist when the need arises or
at least once a year. Any cavity should be treated by the dentist immediately. Bad breath
is caused by careless dental hygiene.

Good food habits. Good food promotes good health. Food must be taken in the
right amount if it has to furnish the energy the body needs for all its activities, to enable
the body to resist infections, for the body to grow and repair its tissues and to promote
general well-being.

Filipinos, however, tend to eat more rice than any other food. His diet is,
therefore, lacking in calories due to their ignorance or indifference towards eating the
right kind of food.

Studies by the Food and Nutrition Center indicate that the Filipino diet is mainly
deficient in protein, Vitamin A and riboflavin. Although we eat enough of other foods.
Some 92 percent of our children suffer from intestinal parasites and 74 percent of our pre-
schoolers have anemia. The large size of many Filipino families is one of the several
contributing factors to the magnitude of the malnutrition problem of our country. Surveys
showed that the greater number of mouths to feed, the smaller is the nutrient intake of
each household member. Moreover, adequacy of calorie intake is attained only when
there are, on the average, less than four members in the household, while adequacy of
protein intake may apparently be achieved in households with less than seven members.
However, in calorie deficiencies, the protein in the diet will first be used to fulfill the
energy deficit before it can be used for growth and repair. Thus the protein problem is
actually much graver than we actually think from the data presented and as evidenced
from the prevalence of gross physical retardation known as nutritional dwarfism.

A Balanced Diet

7
 A balanced diet is one that contains all the nutrients needed by the body in the
right amount in a single meal.

These nutrients are found in the six food groups, which are:

8
1. Green and leafy vegetables 4. Fatty and oily foods
2. Vitamin C-rich fruits 5. Protein-rich foods
3. Other fruits and vegetables 6. Rice and other cereals

9
 The protective foods, which include green leafy yellow vegetables, vitamin C-rich
foods, other fruits and vegetables, make the eyes clear and bright, the skin rosy, the hair
glossy, the gums, teeth and bones strong and healthy. They keep illnesses away.

The body-building foods such as milk, chicken, fish, eggs, and cheese make the
muscles firm and strong. They keep one active all day long. Energy-giving foods provide
heat and energy everybody needed for work and play.

Water is essential for regulating body processes and body temperature. Note how
frequently liver and other internal organs (kidney, heart, etc.) muscle meats, eggs, and
milk appear as the best animal sources of these different nutrients. Among the plant
sources, leafy and yellow vegetables, whole grain cereals, legumes, and tomatoes are
excellent sources of vitamins and minerals.

Mental and Emotional Health

One important aspect of health that is neglected by courses on charm and

personality is mental and emotional health. This is unfortunate because mental and
emotional well-being is just as important as physical health.

It is important for you to become familiar with the nature of the mentally healthy.
They can easily be identified because;

1. They tend to enjoy life more;

2. They respond to many more dimensions of life;
3. They have deep and lasting human relations with others;
4. They lead happy and self-fulfilling lives;
5. They have happy families;
6. They perform better in their work whether it is in school or at work on a job.

Dr. Abraham Maslow who is one of the first psychologists (i.e., one who uses
scientific methods in describing, predicting and controlling human behavior) to study
mentally healthy persons, refer to them as self-actualizing persons. A self-actualizing
person is one who uses every opportunity to develop his talents, abilities and potentials (i.
e., what one is capable of doing and learning). He studied several groups of people by
interviewing them and/or by analyzing their biographies and autobiographies. From such
study, he drew up a list of seven characteristics of the mentally healthy persons.

1. An ability to accept oneself, others and nature. Maslow found that

mentally-healthy persons have positive self-concept (what one feels and thinks about
oneself). They accept and like themselves; and tend to accept other people and things that
happen in the world. Feeling good about themselves, they can accept the person even if
he is different. They accept their own human nature with all its shortcomings, with all its
discrepancies from the ideal image, without feeling real concern and without questioning
and complaining.

2. More profound interpersonal relations. Another quality of mentally-

healthy person is that they tend to get closer to people. Because they feel good about
themselves, they can afford to have deep human relationship with others. Maslow found
10
that these strong ties were usually to only to few people sine a deep involvement with
even one person takes considerable time. Also, mentally healthy persons tend to be kind
to and patient with people, especially with those younger or older than themselves. They
possess and show compassion (i. e., sympathetic feelings) for others.

3. More efficient perception of reality and more comfortable relations

with it. Since the mentally healthy persons have good self-concepts, they do not have to
fool themselves about the world and the people in it. They perceive (how one sees the
world) the world as it really is. Thus, when there is a problem, they can solve it more
efficiently because their decisions are made in terms of how things really are, rather than
of how they wish they were.

4. Continued freshness of appreciation. Mentally healthy persons find

enjoyment and appreciation in just being alive. Here is how Maslow describes such
persons: “… For such people every sunset is as beautiful as the first one, any flower may
be of breathtaking loveliness even after he has seen a million flowers. The thousandth
baby he sees is just as miraculous product as the first one he saw. He remains as
convinced of his luck in marriage and is surprised by his wife’s beauty, when she is sixty
as he was forty years before. For such people even the casual workaday, moment-to-
moment business of living can be thrilling, exciting and ecstatic.”

5. Autonomy, independence of culture and environment. Since

mentally healthy persons have good feelings about themselves, they generate trust in
themselves. They rely on their own standards of behavior and values (what is considered
good important and useful) to tell them what is right or wrong and about what should be
done in a given situation. Thus they tend to be autonomous (independent in thought or
action) rather than dependent on what other people expect of them or what their culture
(the ways of living of a group of people) demands.

6. Creativeness. Because mentally-healthy feel secure about themselves

and with others, they are able to perform a task or solve a problem in new and different
ways. They don’t behave in a standard way in all situations. They are spontaneous in their
relations with others and with the world. Thus, they are creative students, creative clerks,
creative secretaries, creative salesman, etc.

7. Democratic character structure. A democratic character structure (i.

e., a consistent way of behaving) involves appreciation and respects for the right of others
a willingness to listen and learn from others, a reverence for the uniqueness of and
differences in other persons. They the have the capacity to learn from anybody who has
something to teach them. They are aware of how little they know in compassion with
what could be known and what is known by others. They are respectful and even humble
before people who can teach them something which they do not know or have skills they
do not possess – be they carpenters, shoemakers, bankers, engineers, etc.

How to Become Mentally Healthy. Becoming a mentally healthy person is not

an either/ or matter. It does not mean that one day you are mentally unhealthy and after
taking some medicines, you become mentally healthy. The concept of mental health is a
matter of degree rather a black and white dichotomy.

11
 How do mentally healthy person develop? Carl Rogers, another psychologist who
has done extensive research on mentally healthy persons, suggest the following ways:
1. Having early experience that conveys to you a positive feeling about yourself.

“How shall a child feel liked unless somebody likes him?

“How shall a child feel wanted unless somebody wants him?
“How shall a child feel accepted unless somebody accepts him?
“How shall a child feel able unless somewhere he has success?”

2. Having warm close human relations even with just one person. A relationship
of basic trust with another person can facilitate the development of some of
the other characteristics of the healthy, such as trust in oneself and acceptance
of reality.
3. Being alone with one’s self for periods of time. He can allow himself to
experience various human feelings. These experiences will help him
understand his own personality better.
4. Having success while developing social, intellectual, and vocational
competencies. Involved are such factors as hard work, learning how to
concentrate, the willingness to make sustained, long-term efforts at the
expense of immediate rewards. Experiences of success at school, on the job
and interacting with others are thus important.
5. Contact with new ideas, new philosophies and personalities. This may be
done either directly through traveling and meeting new people or directly
through reading and reacting to literature and music.
6. Finding new ways of expressing their emotions fully. So many people today
are alienated (i. e., lack of ability to feel) from themselves. They are afraid to
experience basic human feelings. Involvement in any relationships or activity
that allows a person to be himself is helpful. Such things are hobbies, making
friends through extracurricular activities, and being along with one’s self at
times can facilitate the release of basic emotions.
7. Achieving independence from the control of other people. Becoming
independent is a process involving the formation of one’s set of values.
Accepting more responsibilities whether it is in their home, on the job, or in
school, facilitating feeling of independence. Freely expressing views, when
appropriate, strengthens one’s personality.

GROOM GROOMING

Good grooming is considered today to be part of the working girl’s “trick of trade.”
“Send me a girl whom I can put at the front desk,” many employers are heard to say. “I
need a sharp-looking, pleasant, well poised young woman whom we can be proud to
represent our company.” Others demand. Thus each one is responsible to herself in
improving her personality and to make the most of her assets.

Cleanliness
Cleanliness is often taken for granted. “It’s you they’re talking about,” is a
popular TV advertisement that most of us should listen to. Take a bath everyday. During
hot days, bathe twice a day. Especially during those “critical days, once a month” take a

12
warm bath top prevent body odor. Be sure to clean the neck, ears and other hard-to-reach
areas.

There are so many brands of soap in the market today. Choose the soap that suits
the skin. Completely rinse off all soap from the body. If one uses warm water, finish off
with cool water in order to close pores.

Everyone should use a deodorant to prevent underarm perspiration and body odor.
There are many kinds to choose from – stick roll-on, spray, cream, powder, etc. Choose
the brand that suits your skin and one that is strong enough to last all day. Experiment
with different kinds and use that you think is the best. Change brands now and then.

Care of the Teeth

Brush the teeth, If possible, after every meal. Brush using up and down motions.
Use mouthwashes freely. Use dental floss to clean between the teeth in order to prevent
tooth decay.

Protect yourself from bad breath. Check all possible sources, such as, tonsils,
decayed teeth, stomach upset, sore throat, cigarette, and tobacco.

Care of the Hair

Shampoo the hair as often as needed. In the Philippines, twice a week is the
normal rate. Oily, thick hair could use more frequent shampooing. Exposure to dust and
dirt is another factor to consider.

Care of the Hands and Feet

Keep the hands smooth and the nails well manicured. When the hands feel dry
after washing the dishes or doing household chores, use hand lotion. There are several
hand lotions in the market. Experiment and see which one suits your skin. Long nails and
nail polish that is too bright are not characteristic of the well-groomed person. Have the
nails filed to a moderate length and use moderate shades of polish or no polish at all.

The feet are the least cared-for part of the body. Shoes that are badly fitted are the
cause of corns, bunions, and other feet deformities. If the shoes are too big or too tight for
you, your posture is affected. Your facial expression will also show discomfort because
when your feet hurt, you hurt all over.

Always keep the feet dry. Enclosing wet feet, especially the toes, in shoes is a
cause of athlete’s foot or itchiness in-between the toes. If the feet perspire a lot, apply
foot powder before putting the shoes on.

Never wear the same pair of shoes two days in succession. This will prevent sore
feet. Change the socks or the stocking daily.

Doctors state they find 50 percent of their patients are suffering from fatigue
which produces a variety of symptoms. Behind that fatigue is frequently a foot problem
and so a visit to the podiatrist is prescribed. After complaining for months, “I’m tired all
over,” these patients often bounce back once their foot ache is relieved.

13
 Most city people walk of seven to 10 miles a day, which means it you’re average
weight; your feet will have handled about 1,400,000 pounds in a day – everyday. To go
into more figures, there are 26 delicate little bones in the body. There are also three to
four times as many ligaments there, with four layers of muscle in the sole alone – yet feet
are like fingerprints. Each person is different and no two feet are the same.

Complexion Care
You have always looked with envy at women with creamy, delicate, lovely skin.
What is their secret? They follow the basic, simple rule of skin care.

Some rules to follow are:

1. Get enough sleep – about eight hours a day.
2. Keep dirty fingers away from your face.
3. Avoid using heavy make-up and never sleep with your make-up on.
4. Avoid pimples. Keep way from fatty foods and chocolate candies.
5. Avoid pimples also by regular elimination habits.
6. If you have oily skin – wash your face with soap more often. For dry skin –
cream with lanolin.
7. Your type of make-up should depend on your skin type.
8. Never substitute perfume for bath.
