As they say, sharing is caring. We all prefer to give people we care about beneficial self-improvement tools like this one, but no matter how kind you are, there are some things you should never share with anyone.
This reminds me of an incident from high school. I wouldn’t allow my friend to shave his underarms with the razor I was using. When she thought I wasn’t looking, she took it and used it. Eeeew! Why do I need to reiterate what is already clear? You see?
Let’s get started now. These are the ten things you should never divulge.
1. Towel
Why do some individuals consider sharing a towel to be acceptable? The towel is private. Sharing towels is prohibited unless you’re intentionally intending to transmit disease. I make an effort to bring my own towel to the salon since bacteria may readily spread through wet towels. Never share a towel at home; if possible, bring your own towel to the salon for your hair.
Keep a second towel on hand for guests who insist on sharing towels as a trick to get around this. You can get a convenient multiple-piece towel set for a reasonable price and keep it at home.
2. Toothbrush: I’m hoping you’ll never share a toothbrush when I say this. For times when you have guests, it is good to keep extra toothbrushes at home. Never share a toothbrush with anyone. This is the expression’s maximum point of non-negotiability. Avoid sharing toothbrushes because of the number of germs found in human mouths.
3. Undies
This was one that I considered leaving off the list. I assumed that exchanging underwear, brassieres, and other private items would never occur to anyone. On second thought, it’s wise to be reminded that sharing underwear is not cool. Never exchange your bra, pantyhose, corset, bustier, girdles, or any other type of undergarment. You could become sick if you share them. You should have many brassieres and pants and never share them with anyone in order to practice excellent hygiene. For less money, you may purchase a quality, brand-new set of bras and underwear.
4. Razor or shaving brush blades
Please don’t share your shaving stick, whether it’s an electric one or a manual one. A pack of shaving sticks may be purchased for less than a dollar. Please don’t pass around the shaving brush. You run the risk of contracting an illness if you do.
5. Roll-on deodorant
If you share a deodorant roll-on, you put yourself at risk for illness. It’s unhygienic to share a deodorant roll-on with another person. Deodorant sprays can be shared; however, spreading roll-ons is improper.
6. Bath towel
Sharing a sponge may seem cool to some people, but it’s not. This makes me think of a visitor who was shocked when I forbade her from using my sponge. She shocked me, which surprised me. I’m not sure whether you think sharing a sponge is cool, but if you do, stop right away. To share a bath sponge would be inappropriate.
7. Lip balm and lipstick
We all enjoy wearing cosmetics, so when a friend dons a stunning lipstick shade, we occasionally become delighted. A lipstick, in my opinion, should be kept private. If you must share, dab some lipstick over your lips with a clean pair of fingertips. Never put lipstick on your lips that belongs to someone else. You can also spread germs by sharing a lipstick.
8. Cosmetics brushes
Never share your makeup brushes, whether they are for your face or eyes. When not kept clean, makeup brushes can retain germs and pathogens. As a result, it is advised against sharing cosmetic brushes. Keep a backup brush on hand in case someone requests to use yours.
Keep an extra brush on hand in case someone wants to share your makeup brush.
9. Earbuds
Many individuals, including myself, occasionally share headphones or earbuds. This is a bad concept, though. Because they are so delicate, the ears may become infected. Sharing earbuds may seem innocent, but some individuals may have ear infections; therefore, you should avoid doing so. If you share earbuds with sharp edges that are pressed inside the ear, you are more exposed. Purchase quality earbuds and avoid sharing them frequently.
10.Bar soap
Sharing bar soap is a bad idea. In certain houses, this could seem commonplace, but it is not recommended. You expose yourself to germs and bacteria when you use bar soap at the same time as someone else. While sharing liquid soap is OK, sharing bar soap should not become routine.
Conclusion
Try not to share these 10 items with anyone. Small habits that you take for granted, like the activities you do with other people, might have an impact on your health.
