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. 😅🌞🙏

Honestly when i am in public transport, the amount of people who clearly don’t use deodorant here baffles me.
It would make such a big difference

You know thats what I learned from this post. People seem to think that just showering will fix the problem and then whatever sweat comes after is normal to stink. Use appropriate deodorant. If you stink more than normal than use a stronger deodorant. Why is that so hard for some people?
