There are some basic hygiene practices which we can only hope everyone practices.
These include washing your hands after going to the bathroom, covering your mouth while coughing, brushing your teeth and bathing on a regular basis.
Since the global pandemic, however, some slightly heightened practices regarding hygiene are much more commonplace.
Such as washing your hands for a full 20 seconds, not to mention every time you get home after being out for a long period of time, and always having hand sanitizer on your person when out and about.
Even when people are more conscious of their personal hygiene than ever, there are still some practices which continue to be overlooked.

Sick Black And White GIF by Fleischer StudiosGiphySome might call those who worry too much about their hygiene neurotic or obsessive.
However, if being neurotic means always having impeccable breath, smooth, glistening skin, and a sweet natural odor, maybe we might all consider being a little neurotic every now and then...
