paper prior to washing hands in order
to substitute for the lack of paper
towels.
Shower
In terms of showering, one should
consider these tips:
- Start by allowing water to run over you
for a couple of minutes
- Warm water makes it easier to remove
dirt and residue; avoid hot water as it
can remove essential oils and dry out
the skin
- Shaving should come towards the end
- Wash face towards the end because
this area benefits most from being
under warm water
- Don?t spend more than 10 to 15
minutes in the shower (helps avoid
damage to healthy body oil)
Floss
Follow these steps in order to
effectively floss:
- Wind: Wind 18 inches of floss
around the middle fingers of each
hand. Pinch floss between thumbs
and index fingers, leaving a one- to
two-inch length in between. Use
thumbs to direct floss between
upper teeth.
- Guide: Keep a one- to two-inch
length of floss taut between fingers.
Use index fingers to guide floss
between contacts of the lower teeth.
- Glide: Gently guide floss between
the teeth by using a zig-zag motion.
DO NOT SNAP FLOSS BETWEEN
YOUR TEETH. Contour floss around
the side of the tooth.
- Slide: Slide floss up and down
against the tooth surface and under
the gum line. Floss each tooth
thoroughly with a clean section of
floss.
