Wearing the Philips health band every day to monitor your heart rate and activity can mean that dirt and moisture builds up under it.

This can lead to skin irritation. Here's how to keep it clean and hygenic. Make sure that you take your health band off once in a while and let your skin breathe. It is also important to clean the health band and the skin underneath regularly and especially after each sports session.

To clean the health band, wipe its surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth with water or a mild detergent. Clean the charging cradle with a dry cloth.
