Boys And Hygiene

I don't have a teenager, but my brother showered 2x or 3x a day, depending on what he was involved in. Like if he had soccer practice or tae kwon do. There were 3 reasons why he showered so much, (1) because he sweated during practices and (2) he's allergic to grass so rinsing off lowered his symptoms, and (3) my dad would also spend time to maintain his cleanliness. In my family, we don't leave the house until we showered in the morning. After we enter the house for elsewhere (outside, garden, etc.), we always washed our hands. Afterschool, my mother would remind me to wash my face, but I never really did that, until now, as an adult.

I'm sure you are already supplying him with male-friendly soaps and bodywashes. Somehow smelling more manly become more important to teenaged boys.

 

There's Dove for Men, Axe, Dial for Men. Just look for manly packaging...it fools them all the time

I don't have the pithy oneliners handy for you, though have you tried social shaming - nothing too traumatizing, but threatening to share embarrassing jokes with their friends?

 

There are gender specific diapers... Huggies pull-up for girls have pink packaging and for boys is blue packaging. Apparently there is a difference between the design, with boy styles having more absorbency in the front verses the middle. While it seems so crazy, 2-year olds are a tough crowd. Currently, I can only get my son to wear things that have cars or dinosaurs on them - things that most 2-year old girls DON'T care about.

And there's Nivea for Men too... I forgot about that.

 

@chaaral he will learn on his own. He will get conscious of his acne and will look for remedies.all part of growing up.
Just ensure you tell him he will have small potholes or whatever you want to call them, if he meddles with them( my young man did that all the time)
Just tell him drink loads of water and keep the face clean. ( what's it with washing the face and boys.. they don't like it much when moms ask them to do it and one day you see them applying face mask voluntarily and roaming around in the middle of the night..lol)

@Rihana not just diapers.
There is a range of anti wrinkle and the like series cream for men. You need to call on google devta for a surprising revelation.

My son uses..
khadi neem, tea tree oil based shampoo because dandruf is something they latch on in hostel. Same with soap. He is happy with dettol lemon or orange. Face wash st.ives. Deo and perfume brut. Cream jergens musk.

Dial and old spice seems to work . Breakfast is served only after a shower at home. I made that rule few years ago when I needed some order to manage the morning chaos and now its a habit After they come home from a game or a practice they need to head directly to their bathroom shower and change into their pajamas or they aren't getting no snack. Hunger is a powerful motivator for a teenager I have come to realize.
