Yep, a tongue scraper then. Not the most charming item you want to have in your toiletry bag from now on, but believe me: you need it. This is the only thing that ensures I don't have to worry about my breath when I wake up. And that's quite a relief when you step into that crowded train at eight in the morning and might run into a familiar face. So, a tongue scraper is definitely a must in my morning routine and I'll explain why.

It works like this: you scrape from the back tip of your tongue forward to get everything in one go and you repeat this about five times until everything is clean. Is it very pleasant? No, far from it. So make sure to do it in the morning over the sink before you have breakfast and you'll see that a white substance comes off. That layer – which you of course rinse away immediately in the sink – is a buildup of bacteria that has accumulated overnight. This layer of bacteria contains sulfur and that is the main culprit for bad breath. You can't just brush it away with a toothbrush, but you can with a tongue scraper.

@chrissybrielSCRAPE YOUR TONGUE PLEASE. Been doing this for literally 10 years and the benefits go far beyond fresh breath. If you know me, you know my obsession. I preach this to everyone I know!!♬ LoFi(860862) – skollbeats

And that's not the only plus. Research has shown that people who scrape their tongues daily have better digestion and overall health. So, if you want to add this simple tool to your morning routine, you're doing your body (and everyone around you) a big favor. And once you start, you can't go without it., mark my words.
