Good hygiene is key to good health, but some everyday bathroom items could be secretly harming you. Dr. Saurabh Sethi recently shared on Instagram the top 3 bathroom essentials you should ditch ASAP.
1. Old Toothbrush – If it's older than 3-4 months, it's basically useless and full of bacteria. Worn bristles clean 30% less and can even cause infections.
2. Dull Razor Blades – Still shaving with that old blade? Dr. Sethi says dull razors cause 10x more skin irritation and can lead to micro-cuts and infections. Replace after 5–7 uses!
3. Antimicrobial Mouthwash – Sounds healthy, right? Nope. It kills good bacteria too, messing up your mouth and gut microbiome. Long-term use can hurt overall health.
Bottom line: Don't let your bathroom sabotage your wellness. Swap out these items and level up your hygiene game!
