Personally, i prefer anti-perspirant to deodorant. And yes, it is essential to bath or shower at least once a day. For men whom shave, aftershave is not a neccessity. A moisturiser or balm, is very beneficial though. A woman does'nt really HAVE to wear make up. It is not very gentle to their skin anyway. But to dress prettily, is a good indication of character. So long as the clothes, and especially shoes!, are uncomfortable, just because fashion prescribes so. Personal hygiene, like brushing teeth, clean hair and nails, healthy feet, etc etc, are of paramount importance. Whether male or female
