These personal hygiene innovations range from sanitation-alerting wristbands to antibacterial food utensils that are perfect for on-the-go meals. Personal hygiene is not only essential when looking and feeling your best but also greatly affects one's immune system.
In addition to antibacterial skincare products and recent transit innovations like germ-free commuter jackets, these personal hygiene products also include smart deodorant sticks and hygiene-promoting lunch boxes that will keep germ-prone kids protected from airborne diseases.
Moreover, monitoring devices like hygiene body trackers and hand-washing monitors use modern technology to ensure one is keeping healthy in all aspects of their life. Whether used by adults or children, these products are only a snippet of what the future of hygiene and healthcare has to bring.
