Pre-Shower Prep
Before you even turn the water on, there are things to do!
Hair Care Magic
Before the water flows, let’s show your hair some love. Apply a rosemary hair oil into your scalp and massage it in. The hair oil helps keep your calp healthy and can even help with hair loss! I like to follow it up with a nourishing hair mask on my ends too. Wrap your hair in a bun and let the magic soak in as you get ready to pamper yourself. You’re giving your hair the attention it deserves.
Setting the Mood
Then it’s time to set the stage for some much-needed “me time.” Dim the lights, play your favorite calming playlist, and let a soothing candle fill the air with its delicate fragrance. This isn’t just a shower; it’s a retreat.
Dry Brushing Bliss
Bring out your trusty dry brush for a revitalizing exfoliation. Never heard of dry brushing? Gently brush your skin in upward strokes to slough off dead skin cells and boost circulation. It’s a lot like shedding the weight of the day, leaving you feeling refreshed and renewed.
Everything Shower Time
Regular Clean Soap Love
Grab your favorite gentle soap, like a classic Dove bar and it’s time to get clean. Let its creamy lather cleanse your skin, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world. This step is all about keeping things simple and getting the dirt and oils off of your skin.
Shampoo and Conditioner
It’s time to wash your hair. Shampoo away your worries of yesterday and put in some conditioner. Since it’s an everything shower, there’s plenty of time to let it soak in as you multitask.
Sugar Scrub Euphoria
If you want to exfoliate some more (or maybe dry brushing isn’t your thing), try indulging your skin with a luxurious sugar scrub (I love this one!). Massage it gently over your body, and slough off any remaining dead skin.
Body Wash
Use your favorite shower get or body wash – since you pre-washed, this stop isn’t just about the cleansing; it’s about enveloping yourself in a cocoon of soothing aromas.
For that extra touch of care, use a salicylic acid body wash. It’s like a reset button for your skin, ensuring it’s smooth and vibrant. Or try Panoxyl if you have body acne.
Smooth Shaving
Take your time to shave your body, embracing the sensation of silky, smooth skin.
Facial Cleanse
Don’t forget to wash your face! I love to use this one from Drunk Elephant, but this COSRX one is great too (and like a fifth of the price!).
Rinse and Body Oil
As the water flows, rinse off, and then while your skin is still damp, indulge in a luxurious body oil. I could honestly write sonnets about how much I love the OSEA undaria oil (and I did write a whole blurb on why it’s totally worth it here) and I love to put it on in the shower.
Allow it to sink in, moisturizing your skin in a way that isn’t too heavy.
Post Everything Shower Routine
Skin Care and Body Lotion
Pamper your body with a rich lotion. I love feeling cozy so I tend to default towards a vanilla scent or the viral Sol de Janiero classic one!
Continue with your regular skincare routine, giving your face the attention it deserves.
Leave-In Conditioner
Lastly, apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair, adding a touch of shine and manageability. There’s a bunch of good ones out there but I tend to use the It’s a 10 one if I’m styling my hair, or this OUAI one if I’m not!
