THERE ARE GERMS EVERYWHERE. Once you can accept that fact, we can move on.
You're not cleaning your toothbrush.
Why: A study found that the average toothbrush contained about 10 million germs, including E. Coli.
Try this instead: Once or twice a week, microwave your toothbrush for ten seconds.

You’re flushing the toilet with the lid up.
Why: When you flush the toilet bacteria sprays out up to 10 inches — covering everything in a fine layer of filth.
Try this instead: Put the toilet seat down before you flush. Seriously.

You're wasting water trying to find the right temperature.
Why: A 10-minute shower can waste up to 42 gallons of water.
Try this instead: Once you find your ideal water temperature, mark where the knob is with a bright nail polish.

You're drying yourself off too vigorously.
Why: Rubbing yourself dry with a towel can make dry skin worse, and exacerbate other skin issues.
Try this instead: Gently pat yourself down with your towel post-shower, and if you're going to moisturize, moisturize before your skin is completely dry to lock in added moisture.
