bad hygiene
Neglected personal care
Bad hygiene refers to inadequate personal cleanliness—failing to bathe regularly, brush teeth, wash hands, or maintain grooming standards.
The phrase often appears in discussions of health risks or social consequences: Bad hygiene can spread illness.
It's also used as a polite way to tell someone they smell: I had to talk to him about his bad hygiene.
