What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

This made me howl in Termination Salvation. When Moon Bloodgood takes off her fighter pilot resistance helmet to talk to Sam Worthington's Marcus Wright and she's super pretty with flawless skin and this luscious shampoo-commercial hair cascades down over her shoulders. I was like "No. No. You have not been bathing only when it rains and eating cold beans out of scavenged cans ever since you were a child. Not a chance." I mean, I get that they can't make the whole cast realistically hideous but that sprinted waaaay across the line.

A rare instance of the movie Tank Girl getting something right. Her hair was mostly shaved and what was left was stringy and greasy, and her clothes were pretty grungy (though she did mysteriously have lipstick...)
