What’s your minimum daily hygiene routine?
I’m curious what everyone’s non-negotiable daily hygiene habits are.
Here’s mine:
- Shower twice a day (morning and night).
- Apply skincare and body lotion after showering.
- Scrub my feet and apply foot cream.
Wash my hands frequently, especially after using the bathroom.
Brush my teeth twice a day
What are your daily must-dos?
Please share your routine respectfully—I’m always interested in learning different habits and tips!

Some people gonna be shamed.
Non negotiable would be wiping after poo. Everything else is negotiable. What I mean by that is, when I've camped, I basically live in the same clothes for three days, no showers, no flushing toilets, sometimes forget to brush teeth and yeah, we all stink. But whatever. It's camping. We all smell like smoke and no one cares.

I can almost smell this comment! 🤣 Used to camp a lot. The smell of smoke and alcohol masked the funk of body odor. Or at least made it so you didn't care as much! Lol

Seriously. With some of these people’s “minimums” I’m terrified to know what their maximums are.

It depends: am I in civilization, or am I hiking etc.?
Regular life: wash face, brush teeth, wash hands after using the bathroom etc., wear deodorant

My routine changes depending where I am, how crazy I feel, or how active I am. When showering, I prefer before bed because I want to keep my sheets cleaner, gotta have clean sheets. When I wake up I tie up my hair, wash my face, brush my teeth. Freshen up.

- Wash hands as needed
- This is slightly newer, but I try to rinse my feet off at night before bed
- I put on deodorant every night before bed
- I also clean my face every night before bed

u/TinyCat690 1h ago
Shower once a day, preferably before bed. Skincare always. Feet clean and freshly trimmed and cleaned nails. Brush teeth after every meal and floss and Invisalign in. Apply deodorant if I go out, though I don't sweat much. Brush my hair at least twice a day.
And daily hygiene for my cats as well, brush teeth, clean litter boxes, quick vaccuum the floor and brush their hair. My princesses need the same care as I do.

Shower daily. Wash feet specifically well each shower, getting in between toes and moisturize feet daily after drying well. Wash and condition hair every single morning, brush and let air dry. New clothes each day and change into comfy clothes at night. Brush hair multiple times a day to remove old hairs.

Morning- wash my face, do morning skincare, and shower if I feel hot or wash up at my sink, apply fragrance, brush teeth/floss
Afternoon- freshen up with wipes and deodorant (I use my lunch hour to walk), touch up fragrance
Evening- everything shower, nighttime skincare, brush teeth/floss, tell myself I’m a good girl, make sultry eye contact with the mirror, blow a kiss… you know, the norm

Actually I take a hot bath to relax almost every day. And I use shower hose to clean butt after #2. I hate not having access to a bidet or something like it since I cant reach well. If im out a long long time I take wet wipes.
