body care

Hi

I do not normally answer pair ES>EN, but, in this case, I believe the only answer offered could be wrong? Sorry for daring if wrong, but isn't the English term "hygiene" more often used when talking about "disinfecting"?

gracias, Marina
neutral JaneTranslates : Maybe in the UK; "personal hygiene" is fine in the US. But the asker is from the UK, so I'm glad you have given him/her another option. //When I think about it, "body care" sounds odd, but I would accept it without question if I read it in an ad(vert).

Another option that might work on both sides of the pond.

personal grooming (products)

"hygiene" sounds a little too clinical for publicity purposes. I think personal grooming (products) may be more appropriate

More than a million and a half Google hits for personal grooming.
