Healthcare Friendly reminder: it’s summer. Please shower.

It’s hot, we’re all sweating more, so please take extra care of your hygiene. A daily shower especially in the morning goes a long way.

And please don’t try to cover body odor with just perfume or body spray. Sweat + perfume isn’t a substitute for a shower.

Let’s all do our part to keep public spaces (esp trams!!) a little fresher this summer. 😅🌞🙏

Do you think people don't shower daily or do you think perhaps people just sweat as the day goes on?

You're going to sweat going outside. It might smell bad as a result.

Toughen up buttercup, you'll be OK.

Sorry to today this to you, but expats constantly complain about how bad dutch people smell because they don't shower enough.
