Everything Showers!

We love an EVERYTHING shower routine! Here is my step-by-step routine of what my everything showers look like. It’s a long process, but once you are in it, you know you can’t stop until it’s perfect. Everything showers can be after a long week, vacation, or monthly routine. The thing about an everything shower is it doesn’t matter if it's practiced every week or every month. One thing is certain: you feel oh so good about it after it is done! I will walk you through my pre-shower, everything shower, and my post-shower with a step-by-step guide, including all products I personally use. All products are also Yuka approved with clean ingredients.

Pre-Shower

• Step One: Set Water Temperature

Are you a fan of piping hot or cold showers? I don’t believe there is an in-between. Both have great health benefits depending on what you need for your body.

• Step Two: Brush Hair

I wanted to add this in as a gentle reminder. Just brush your hair out so you don't have any tangles. This step makes shampooing and conditioning a lot easier.

• Step Three: Hair Oil

I like to apply rosemary hair oil all over my scalp and rub it in. I typically leave it on for about 10-20 minutes before showering. I use a silicone massager to massage the scalp before stepping in.

• Step Four: Dry Brush

Dry brush all over your body in a circular motion, focusing on your armpits, thighs, and arms. I like to leave my hair oil while I do this step. Dry brushing has many benefits like lymphatic support, exfoliation, improving blood circulation, and reducing cellulite. You can find it on Amazon.com.

Everything Shower

• Step One: Double Shampooing

  First, I use Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. I have a dry and flaky scalp, so I make sure to use this at least once a week. It has truly helped my scalp. You can find it at Target.com.

  
  

  The second shampoo I use is SheaMoisture Aloe Butter Scalp Moisturizing Shampoo, which I use daily during my regular showers. I only shampoo the top of my head, not the ends. I love SheaMoisture products; they are my go-to brand! You can find it at Target.com

• Step Two: Conditioner

  I love to lather conditioner onto the middle and ends of my hair. Since conditioner is usually quite thick, I avoid applying it to my scalp to prevent buildup and clogged pores. I use SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Yogurt Hydrate & Repair Conditioner, which you can find at Target.com

  
  

• Step Three: Face Wash

  I love washing my face in the shower, especially after using shampoo and conditioner. I use the Matcha Hydrating Foam Cleanser by B Lab, which you can find it on Amazon.com It’s a Korean skincare brand that foams up nicely and very hydrating.

• Step Four: Double Body Wash (Dove Bar Soap)

  I start by washing my body with a sensitive skin Dove bar soap. I make sure to do this as the first step so I’m clean for the next stages. You can find it at Target.com

• Step Five: Exfoliate

  I exfoliate using SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Illuminating Hand and Body Scrub. I focus on my entire body, especially my feet, thighs, and elbows. You can find it at Traget.com

  
  

• Step Six: Shave

  I use one razor for my armpits and legs, and a separate one for my bikini area.

• Step Seven: Body Wash/Gel

  After shaving, I do one last body wash. I use Native Body Wash in Coconut/Vanilla and a silicone body scrubber to lather my entire body. You can find it at Traget.com

  
  
  
  

• Step Eight: Body Oil

  This is my favorite step: while still wet, I rub body oil all over to really lock in moisture. Body oil leaves me smelling great and makes my skin so soft. I use SheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus Bath and Body Massage Oil, which smells amazing. I’m a sucker for anything coconut, vanilla, or honey. Afterward, make sure to pat dry with a towel so you don't rub off the body oil. You can find it at Target.com

  
  
  
  

Post Shower

• Step One: Body Lotion

  After my shower, I love to take my time with my post-care routine. I start by using SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Illuminating Body Lotion all over my body. As you can tell, I really love this brand and scent! You can find it at Target.com

• Step Two: Brush Hair

  This is a simple step, but I thought I should include it for detail. I like to brush my hair starting from the ends and working my way up to the roots. This technique helps minimize pulling on my hair.

• Step Three: Leave In Conditioner

  This is a snippet of my hair care routine. I love using Kristin Ess Weightless Shine Leave-In Conditioner Spray on the middle and ends of my hair. The best part is how weightless this product feels; it doesn't weigh my hair down at all. Plus, it smells like you just walked out of a salon! You can find it at Target.com

  
  

• Step Four: Hair Oil

  I am obsessed with all Gisou products! Their hair oil is fantastic, and the packaging is perfect. I apply the oil to the ends of my hair, which helps reduce frizz and provides ultra hydration with an amazing shine. The syringe is great because it dispenses just the right amount of oil. You can find it at Sephora.com

  
  

• Step Five: Braid Hair

  After applying all my hair products, I like to put my hair in two low braids. I’ve noticed that this helps keep my hair from getting too frizzy. And that’s my final step in my EVERYTHING shower routine!
