Why Does Good Personal Hygiene Make People Happy?

Personal hygiene is one of the most important parts of our daily lives, and we aren’t the only ones who love it. Spend any amount of time with a house cat and you will notice that they spend more time grooming than anything else. Part of this is because it’s advantageous to stay clean. But part of it is because personal grooming and hygiene feels good. In fact, we know that good personal hygiene has an impact on how we feel and on how people feel about us.

Besides the obvious social benefits, and the fact that people don’t like being around those who smell bad, there are a number of personal benefits that come with keeping up good personal hygiene. Let’s go through some of the top ones and some tips on how to improve our personal hygiene routines.

Routine Puts a Smile on our Face

One of the great things about personal hygiene isn’t the effects but the act itself. There is a lot of talk about “self-care” these days, which is incredibly important, and one way to practice self-care, is to commit to a regular routine. By setting aside time every day to take care of yourself and your personal hygiene, you are giving yourself a daily routine that’s all about you.

We know that routine is great for our brains. It turns out that we love regular things happening at regular times. By making your personal hygiene a daily routine, you can actually improve your mood and even improve your sleeping habits, all of which make us happier and healthier.

Get Rid of Distractions

Let’s talk about distractions that come with personal hygiene. Our faces break out into itchy rashes. We can smell bad. We can get overly conscious in social situations about our appearance and odor. All of this is to say that poor hygiene is actually distracting for us and others. Getting into the habit of good personal hygiene can help us be more focused and more productive, which has pretty good benefits for all aspects of our lives.
