Yessss *_* I need to have a shower every morning. I need to make sure the undersides of my nails are clean.. obviously brush my teeth/tongue and use deodorant.. I guess the only thing I don't tend to do is moisturize.. though I do use an SPF 30 moisture cream on my face every morning.

I am pretty hygienic. Shower and brush my teeth twice a day (floss them once a day), use underarm deodorant. I admit I do let my nails grow quite long before cutting them though and I do grow my beard out for a fair amount of time before shaving it off too.

Shower nightly, use deodorant, and brush my teeth at least twice daily. I don't allow my fingernails to grow very much before cutting them.
If you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste.
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste.

I usually shower at night, but sometimes I'm too tired for that and just do it in the morning. I brush my teeth in the shower because if I don't do it in there, I'll forget. I never leave the house without deodorant on. Ummm yeah that's it!

Brushing your teeth in the shower...?

I have to shower every morning of I feel gross. I generally feel gross until I do all the hygienic stuff everyone mentioned, but sometimes I'll go without flossing if I feel like I cleaned everything enough through brushing, or I'll skip putting on deodorant if I'm going out to the beach to go swimming and I know it's not going to make any difference, or things like that. I like feeling clean though.
I shower everyday although if I'm not going anywhere for a day I might skip because I'm being lazy, but I don't think that makes me some gross pig. I keep up with with my nails regularly because I can't stand long fingernails or god forbid toenails ghughug. I usually only brush my teeth once a day because I'll typically forget or be too tired at night or just plain fall asleep where I am before I even go and get ready for bed.

Uhh besides that I always wear deodorant, use face wash daily, shave legs etc every other day to two days because I like feeling smooth ALL OVER 24/7. Oh I'm also big on cleaning my ears. It just bothers me if I don't everyday, but apparently that isn't always good to do, oh wellllllllll.

I care a bit. I shower morning and night and try to brush my teeth after every meal if possible and if not I'll brush my teeth after breakfast and after dinner for sure. I also wash my hair every day or every second day. I don't rewear clothes every once unless they are my gym clothes cause they gunna stink anyway. And I shave whenever I expect to see people. /very clean.

I do all the usual stuff. I have to shampoo and condition my hair daily or it's just gross, but I'll be less inclined to do it if I know I'm spending all day in my room.

Only thing that probably differs from others here is that I don't use deodorant, or antiperspirant. Unless it's an especially hot day or I've been doing quite a bit of physical activity I just don't need it, seriously, you can check.

I care greatly about personal hygiene. I can't stand being dirty or feeling greasy or anything like that, so I do everything I can to avoid that feeling.

I shower daily and wash my hair daily, I brush my teeth twice daily and I wash my hands about 10 times every shift at work because I'm always handling money and that is just nasty lol. I'm a huge germaphobe, so cleanliness is incredibly important to me.

I care a lot. It's really gross to me if people don't care much for it (like my dad). I shower every evening, brush my teeth twice a day, and use a fluoride mouth wash right after brushing. I can't go a day without showering or brushing or I'd feel horrible and not be able to sleep well. XD;

I also wash my hair every 3 days; it doesn't get greasy since my hair is pretty dry and washing it any more often would just make me lose hair like crazy haha.

But yeah, all-in-all, I care quite a lot about my personal hygiene!

Admittedly, I do go a day or two without a full shower from time to time, but despite that, I care very much about personal hygiene. I wash my hair every single day, and obsessively wash my hands and my face and brush my teeth a lot (though we're out of toothpaste and it's driving me crazy because I can't go out and get some because I'm waiting for a new bank card and have no way to access my funds!!).

I'll be honest, I don't care about it as much as I did back in college, or as much as I would if I actually had a social life. When you're stuck around the house, you start not to care. I can go several days without bathing, and even when I do, because our tub is so rusty and filthy I never feel clean afterward anyway.

As for other things, I try to keep up with them on a fairly regular basis, though I have been known to skip brushing my teeth for days at a time. let it be known that if I ever do have to go out for anything, I do like to clean myself up.

I care a lot about personal hygiene. To the extent where I can't even leave the house without having showered and I can't touch a lot of things unless I've washed my hands first. Today the water in my house has been turned off for some pipework to be done and it has brought my day to a halt :x

The one big hygienic faux pas with me is my nails. I'm not sure whether it's just laziness or whether I have some subconscious fear, but I always put off cutting my nails until the last minute. That goes for fingers as well as toes. When I do eventually cut them, there's never any big problem or emotional scarring, but I'll always let them grow slightly longer than appropriate, for whatever reason.

Apart from that, though, I'm generally hygienic. I shower every day, brush teeth, use deodarant, moisturise, shave etc. When I was younger, I'd occasionally not to some of those things, but now I just feel all unclean if I don't! The perils of growing up, I guess. :D
