Hair Care

Hair is properly washed by wetting it throughly with warm water and working shampoo into the hair with the fingertips until there is a good lather. Thorough rinsing removes suds and loosen scalp flakes. A towel is then used to squeeze extra water from the hair and pat it dry.

[edit]Skin Care

• Skin is the body's largest organ.
• Skin protects the body from invasion of microbial agents and ultraviolet rays.
• Excessively dry skin can be treated with various lotions.
• Excessively oily skin usually requires more frequent washing to remove collected oil and dirt from skin surface and pores.
• Proper application of sunscreen may be important to avoid harmful sun exposure and sunburn. While sunscreen may reduce sunburn, the effectiveness of sunscreens to prevent skin cancer has been questioned.
• Within the skin, there are millions of cells that make up nerve endings, blood vessels, and sweat glands.

[edit]Nail Care

• The fingernails can collect dirt and bacteria.

• The nails should be trimmed regularly to keep them clean.

• Nails should be trimmed straight across and not too close to the skin.

• It is important to not bite or pick at fingernails or cuticles.
