The ‘Everything’ Shower has been trending on TikTok but what exactly is it? It’s a luxurious yet extensive self care routine that leaves you feeling utterly refreshed and recharged.
While ranging anywhere from dry brushing to hair masks to the dreaded full body shave, Navigating through these numerous steps in your self-care routine might seem daunting, but worry not! I’ve curated the ideal, step-by-step guide for the ultimate and effective everything shower, ensuring a blissful experience.
First off, set the mood, light a candle and pop on your favorite music to fully immerse yourself in this at home, spa-like experience.
I would always recommend dry brushing to begin, please don’t knock it until you try it! Dry Brushing gently buffs away dead skin sells while also promoting lymphatic drainage. If you don’t have a dry brush handy, opt for an in shower body exfoliator such as , the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Body Scrub to really rejuvenate your skin. I do both of these steps and Truly, my skin has never felt better, its a must-have prep for a smooth shave.
Moving on to washing your hair, double shampoo to ensure your remove all the buildup and pop on a deep conditioning hair mask (just on the ends).
Leaving your hair mask on while you shave is the perfect self-care, time saving duo. Since you have already deeply exfoliated, at this stage and prepped the skin, you’ll be done in no time.
After rinsing with your favorite body wash and rinsing out your hair mask, its time to move on to the final steps to complete the perfect routine.
Moisturizing, after having towel-dried yourself in a patting – not rubbing – motion use a similar smelling lotion and then oil all over to really lock the moisture and scent in all day. I would highly recommend using the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream and Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil, it’s one of the best duo’s I have used for reducing cellulite, moisturizing and the scent alone is second to none!
Pop a pea sized amount of hair oil on your ends and Treat yourself to your extended skincare regimen. Choose a replenishing face mask, eye mask, or lip mask. Finish off with the application of your preferred serum, eye cream, and moisturizer for a pampering finale.
Since it can take hours (yes, seriously), it’s definitely not an everyday thing. We’ve found the ideal time for an everything shower to be a cozy Sunday afternoon to set up for the week ahead and help keep those Sunday scaries at bay.
