personal hygiene
Keeping oneself clean
Personal hygiene is the set of practices people follow to keep their bodies clean and healthy—bathing, brushing teeth, washing hands, grooming hair, wearing clean clothes.
The term often appears in contexts where someone's hygiene is lacking: We need to talk to him about his personal hygiene.
Good personal hygiene prevents disease transmission and social discomfort.
