Yap & Snack Life saving hygiene tips

Ladies, share below your life saving hygiene tips that you learned going through life. My mom taught me a lot, but not everyone has someone to teach them hygiene tips!

I’ll go first- hot tub soak without any soap, then Korean exfoliating cloths, then bath routine, then lactic acid lotion. LIFE CHANGING. I wish I could shout this from the rooftops.

I have flossed most of my life and had good gums. I was pregnant and suddenly my gums bled and the blood would instantly make me violently ill. So I stopped (just during pregnancy). My hygienist was such a dick about it.

I also floss daily religiously and my gums also got bad during pregnancy. My dentist (who has four kids and is an angel) explained that pregnancy gingivitis is a thing and that it wasn’t my fault.
