Taking care of oneself is fundamental in daily life, reflected in simple yet significant habits. Actions such as washing hands, moisturizing the skin, and using sunscreen not only demonstrate respect for personal health but also for collective health. PAPELMATIC, a company dedicated to conscious hygiene, has launched a series of recommendations to integrate these habits into daily routines, both individually and in shared spaces.
The first step toward personal care is self-awareness. Listening to the body’s needs and dedicating time to our well-being should not be seen as a luxury, but as something essential. Personal hygiene is a key tool for preventing infections and maintaining internal balance. Performing everyday actions, such as handwashing, correctly can make a significant difference in health.
In shared environments, such as offices or schools, hygiene becomes crucial. Every individual action contributes to overall well-being, and promoting conscious hygiene practices in these spaces creates a culture of shared responsibility. “Paying attention to personal hygiene reflects how one relates to the world,” says Pau Fornt, CEO of PAPELMATIC. According to him, small acts of personal care, although they may seem trivial, are conscious decisions that impact collective well-being.
With over 60 years of experience in the sector, PAPELMATIC offers guidelines for conscious hygiene. Handwashing, for example, is considered an essential defense against pathogens and should last between 40 and 60 seconds, covering all areas of the hands. The quality of soap is key; opting for hypoallergenic and pH-neutral soaps helps keep the skin healthy.
When access to water is limited, hand sanitizer is an effective alternative option, though it does not replace washing. It should be applied to visibly clean hands and rubbed for a specific amount of time to ensure effectiveness. Moisturizing the hands is also essential; using appropriate creams after each wash prevents dryness and keeps the skin in good condition.
Sunscreen, which is often associated only with beach days, should be incorporated into the daily routine, as exposure to ultraviolet radiation is constant. It is recommended to use products with an SPF of 50 or higher and to reapply them every two hours.
Turning personal hygiene into a conscious habit does not require titanic efforts, but attention to details. Integrating simple actions that promote personal health and respect for others is key. Furthermore, in shared spaces, providing access to quality hygiene products contributes to a culture of collective care, and focusing on individual well-being should not only be an aesthetic concern but a commitment to prevention that benefits the whole group.
Founded in 1965 in Barcelona, PAPELMATIC specializes in conscious hygiene solutions tailored to various industries. Its focus on innovation and environmental respect reinforces its mission to promote hygiene and well-being both nationally and internationally.
