The EVERYTHING Shower; if you know, you know!
Hey, Gorgeous! Ready to treat yourself to an everything shower? It’s the ultimate self-care ritual that leaves you feeling fresh, pampered, and glowing like the queen you are. Think of it as hitting the reset button for both your body and mind. The perfect Sunday Ritual if you ask me! Let’s dive into the step-by-step magic, I’m spilling all my secrets, including some must-have products you’ll love.
The Pre-Shower Prep
We all know, the everything shower starts before you even get in the shower… this is the opportunity to give your hair and scalp some extra loving and prep your skin for the ultimate glow!
Hair Oil Treatment: Girl, your scalp deserves some love! Massage in some castor and rosemary oil to promote healthy growth and deep hydration. (You can check out my "Thin to Thriving" post for all the juicy benefits, my go to product’s and how-tos.)
Hair Mask: Give your strands a spa day with a rich, nourishing hair mask. I use a water spray bottle to dampen my hair before applying my mask. My go-to? Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask or the super hydrating Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask.
Dry Brushing: This is a game-changer! Grab a dry brush (I love the EcoTools Dry Body Brush) and use long strokes toward your heart. It’s like a mini detox for your skin, boosting circulation, reducing cellulite and leaving you silky smooth.
The Shower Routine
Time to soak up the magic! This is where the real glow-up happens:
Double Shampoo: Trust me on this, double shampooing is a must. Start with a clarifying shampoo like L’Oreal Metal Detox to clear out the gunk. Follow up with something luxe and hydrating, like Oribe Gold L’Oreal Pro Longer.
Conditioner: Slather on a rich conditioner from mid-length to ends. Let it marinate while you handle the rest. I swear by L’Oreal Pro Longer Conditioner.
Body Wash: Lather up with something that smells divine and keeps your skin soft. Necessaire The Body Wash is my fave—clean, hydrating, and chic.
Body Scrub: Exfoliate like a pro! Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Moroccan Rose makes your skin baby smooth and smells heavenly.
Baby Oil for Shaving: Here’s a secret tip: Use baby oil as a base before shaving. It’s a game-changer for soft, irritation-free skin. Johnsons Cocoa and Shea Butter Baby Oil… another level!
The Right Razor: Okay… hear me out… a men’s razor is 100% the way to go. They give you a closer shave, with no skin irritation and reduces razor bumps. I personally use the Gillette Mach3
Post-Shower Pampering
This is your time to seal in all that goodness and glow from head to toe:
Microfiber Hair Towel: Ditch the regular towel! Wrap your hair in a Aquis Hair Towel to fight frizz and keep it healthy.
Good Quality Lotion: Hydration is non-negotiable. Slather on CeraVe Moisturizing Cream or if you’re feeling fancy, Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (the smell, OMG heaven).
Face Mask: Your fresh, clean skin is begging for a treat. Pop on Biodance Overnight Deep Hydrating Mask for deep hydration. Oh, and don’t forget to use your Gua Sha in the morning! (check out Gua Sha 101 the full tea on how to use it right).
Bonus Tools & Products to Elevate Your Routine
Want to take your everything shower to superstar status? Invest in these gems:
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer: A splurge, but worth every penny. It dries fast and protects your hair from damage, also the speed on this thing? Honestly after a long session of pampering the last thing you want to do is spend hours trying to tame the frizz. This baby speeds up that process x 10!
Wet Brush Pro Detangler: Say goodbye to tangles without the tugging and tears.
Final Thoughts
An everything shower isn’t just about getting clean—it’s a full-on self-care ritual. Take your time, savor every step, and let yourself bask in the queen-level luxury you deserve. You’ve earned it, babe! Happy pampering!
