Personal grooming is the appropriate term for how people take care of their bodies and appearance. Personal grooming, of course, includes showering, practicing good hygiene, and wearing clean clothes. Self-grooming is a term that implies that the person is taking care of themselves, not just to be fresh in society, but also to enhance one's self-esteem.

Some examples of this include a woman who regularly plucks her eyebrows, puts on her make-up, shaves her legs, and splashes on a lovely perfume. For men, it is a little less stressful, except if you are a male model or a performer. However, all people should practice good personal hygiene habits.
