What is the Everything Shower?

Before diving into the everything shower routine, let’s first look at what it includes and its purpose. The Everything Shower Routine involves multiple grooming activities to make you feel good and extra relaxed. This self-care ritual is where you don’t just wash your body and hair but also shave, exfoliate, use hair masks, apply deep conditioning treatments, or do other personal grooming routines. The purpose of your Everything Shower is a way to relax, pamper yourself, and feel rejuvenated, especially when feeling stressed or after a tiring day.

The following Everything Shower routine is designed to cater to your well-being, ensuring a complete self-care experience for you!

Preparation for your Everything Shower Routine

So that you can relax & enjoy your shower, you have to prepare some things:

Warm the Towels

Use a Towel Warmer to warm your towels. Wrapping yourself in a warm towel as soon as you step out of the shower is an indescribable relaxing & comforting feeling.

Lay your Clothes Ready

After the shower, you probably just wanna slip into your pajamas & get on the couch or into bed. So that you don´t have to search for everything and can relax ASAP, lay out your underwear & PJs. Find here some super cute PJ sets!

Your Everything Shower should, I mean MUST involve a thorough haircare routine!

Pre-Shower Haircare

• Begin with dry brushing your hair to stimulate blood circulation and help to detangle your hair.
• Apply a nourishing hair oil or treatment to dry hair, focusing on the lengths and ends. Consider using coconut, argan, or almond oil. Allow it to sit for at least 15-30 minutes before showering. Use a hair clip to secure it. Find here a guide on which hair oil is best for which hair type & here is the ultimate hair oiling routine!
• Now is the time to apply a face mask.
• While the oil & face mask is setting, use the time to brush your teeth.

Everything Shower Haircare Routine

Okay, now that you’ve prepped your hair and face, it´s time to step into the shower and get wet!

• Thoroughly wet your hair with warm water to open the hair cuticles.
• Use a clarifying shampoo to cleanse your scalp and hair to remove oil treatment and buildup. If your hair is particularly dry, apply a hydrating shampoo next.
• Use a scalp massaging brush to massage the shampoo into your hair & to stimulate your hair follicles.
• Since this is an Everything Shower, you should apply a scalp scrub. Here’s a guide on how to use a scalp scrub and why you should add it to your haircare routine!
• Use a deep conditioning mask or conditioner, and leave it on as you continue your Everything Shower routine.

Everything Shower Body Care Routine

While the mask/conditioner does its magic, we´re moving on to your body care!

• Cleanse your body using a gentle body wash and a loofah. A loofah is great for cleaning, massaging, and pre-scrubbing your skin!
• Exfoliate your skin with a scrub to remove dead skin cells, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels. Find here some great scrubs!
• Since this is an Everything Shower, you can also shave in the shower. Use shaving cream or gel to protect your skin & sharp, fresh razor blades to avoid ingrown hair.
• We can´t forget our feet: Use a foot scrubber mat to massage, exfoliate & clean your feet.

Facial Care

Next, your face needs its attention!

• Use a suitable cleanser for your skin type to wash off the face mask you applied earlier.
• To give your face extra care, use a facial brush. They massage & exfoliate the skin.

Final Hair Rinse

And back to the hair! Now that the mask/conditioner has had time to set, you need to rinse your hair.

• Thoroughly rinse out your hair mask or conditioner.
• Before stepping out of the shower, rinse your entire body to remove all of the products from your skin.

Post-Everything Shower Care

• Now grab one of your pre-warmed towels from the towel warmer and wrap yourself in it.
• Towel dry gently and apply a body lotion or body oil to lock in moisture.
• Finish your facial care with toner, serum, moisturizer, and eye cream.
• To take extra good care of your hair, apply a leave-in conditioner or a hair serum to your damp hair. This will add some extra protection and shine.
• Use cuticle oil on your nails and hand cream to moisturize your hands.
• Apply foot cream to your feet, especially focusing on the heels.

Hair Styling

• If you like, blow-dry your hair on a lower heat setting or allow it to air dry.
• Apply a heat protectant if you plan to use any heat-styling tools.
• Style your hair as usual.
• You shouldn´t go to sleep with wet hair, but if you don´t have another choice, find here some hacks to protect your hair when sleeping with wet hair.

Relaxed Aftercare

• To finish your self-care/Everything Shower, slip into your prepared clothes & get comfortable on the couch or bed. 
• Relax with a warm beverage, or continue your day feeling refreshed, relaxed & pampered.
• Grab a book to read or watch your favorite show or a movie to round off your routine!
