Module 6 | Being Safe & Healthy in School Taking Care of Your Body Personal hygiene is very important to all of us. Having good personal hygiene protects us from germs that grow and develop in sweat and dirt. We also smell nicer when we wash and this is important when we spend so much time with other people, e.g., in school or at home. Did you know that on an average day humans produce one litre of sweat, which sticks to their skin? How many litres of sweat would stay on your skin if you did not wash for a week? Describe what would happen if you did not wash your skin or hair regularly. What is the difference between a deodorant and anti-perspirant? Write the names of some deodorants/anti-perspirants that you can buy. Why is it important to put on clean clothes as part of your hygiene routine? 55
Module 6 | Being Safe & Healthy in School Teenagers and Skin As a teenager, hormones can contribute to you having pimples or blackheads. How can you help to prevent this from happening? 99 Wash regularly with warm water and unperfumed soap. 99 Always use your own clean face cloth, as bacteria like to hide in the fibres of the face cloth. Do you want to wash with someone else’s bacteria? 99 Avoid greasy food. 99 Eat lots of fruit and vegetables and drink lots of water. 99 Don’t squeeze your spots – it will spread the infection. 99 Use special lotions or creams if you feel it is necessary. Can you name any? 99 Dandruff can contribute towards spots and blackheads, so treat hair with special anti-dandruff shampoo. Your Skin Under your skin there are tiny oil and sweat glands. Oil and sweat appear on the surface of your skin through holes called pores. This can mix with dirt on your skin and block your pores, leading to pimples, blackheads and other skin infections. Your Teeth By the age of twelve most people have twenty-eight permanent teeth. There are still four more to come – wisdom teeth. Sometimes, when our wisdom teeth appear it can cause discomfort and we may need to visit the dentist. List five ways to ensure that your teeth are healthy. 56
