Hygiene and grooming
Personal care refers to the routine activities and products involved in maintaining hygiene, grooming, and physical well-being.
This includes bathing, dental care, hair care, skincare, and similar daily practices.
The term appears frequently in retail contexts to categorize products like soap, shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste.
In healthcare settings, personal care often describes assistance provided to those who cannot manage these tasks independently: The nursing home offers personal care services for residents.
