Personal Hygiene

Personal Hygiene is pertinent for all students but especially for pre-teens and teenagers. Body odor is one of those things that a few people want to admitt to, but many suffer from. Natural fibers " breathe" which allows odor to dissipate more quickly than synthetics. They tend to keep cooler. By contrast, synthetic fibers tend to hold on to odor for deal life.
