If you’re a TikTok fan, you may have already heard of the “everything shower”. What started as a social media trend has evolved into the ultimate self-care ritual. It’s not just a regular shower; it’s a spa-like escape where every little beauty step you’ve ever dreamt of (and some you never knew you needed) come together in a single, blissful routine. If you’re ready to elevate your self-care game, grab a towel, and let’s dive into everything there is to know about the everything shower.
An everything shower is exactly what it sounds like—a shower where you do everything. It’s not just about getting clean; it’s about indulging in a full-on beauty and wellness routine. Think of it as a spa day, but in your own bathroom. You’ll cover all the bases: hair care, exfoliation, skincare, and even a bit of aromatherapy. It’s your one-stop-shop for looking and feeling fabulous.
Life can get pretty busy. Between work, social commitments, and the occasional Netflix binge, finding time for self-care can feel like a luxury. That’s where the everything shower comes in. It’s the perfect way to combine multiple beauty and wellness steps into one glorious, uninterrupted session. Here’s why you should give it a go:
· Deep relaxation. A long, hot shower helps to release tension, and adding candles to the room and spritzing a body mist into the air can make it feel like a full-on spa experience.
· Improved circulation. Massaging your scalp and exfoliating your skin can improve blood flow, leaving your skin and scalp healthier.
· Skin renewal. An everything shower gives you the time to indulge in treatments like body scrubs, which help slough off dead skin and leave you looking and feeling radiant.
· Mental reset. The extended time spent in an everything shower can work wonders for your mood. Think of it as a weekly reset button.
Let’s set the stage. The key to a successful everything shower is creating the right ambiance. Here’s how:
Dim the lights and light a few BELOVED candles. Their gentle glow will help calm your mind and create that spa-like ambiance.
Spritz a little body mist around the shower area. BELOVED has a selection of mists that evoke calming, refreshing scents.
If you like a soundtrack, choose something mellow to help you unwind. Spa music, a favorite playlist, or even an inspiring podcast works.
Use a shower and bath gel with a scent that makes you happy. BELOVED’s range of sulfate and paraben-free products is perfect for this.
Ready to dive in? Here’s a step-by-step guide to the ultimate everything shower:
Start your everything shower by setting the mood with calming scents. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to a damp washcloth and place it on a shelf or the shower wall where steam can release the scent.
Scent tip: Hang a bundle of fresh eucalyptus from your showerhead. The natural oils in the leaves release a refreshing scent when exposed to steam, turning your shower into an aromatic oasis.
Give your hair some love. Hair treatments work best when they have time to sink in, so apply your favorite deep conditioner or hair mask first. Then wrap your hair up and let it soak in all the goodness while you move on to the rest of your routine.
Moisture boost: To maximize moisture, wrap your hair in a warm towel after applying the mask. The heat will help the product penetrate deeper into your hair.
Exfoliation is where the magic really begins. Use a BELOVED body scrub to remove dead skin cells and make way for softer, smoother skin. Start from your shoulders and work your way down to your feet, paying extra attention to any rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels.
Benefits: Exfoliating helps boost circulation, brightens your skin, and preps your skin to soak up any moisture you apply afterward. Plus, it just feels fantastic!
After exfoliating, it’s time to cleanse with a luxurious shower gel. A richly-scented BELOVED shower and bath gel will fill your bathroom with fragrance while giving your skin a gentle yet thorough cleanse. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, add a loofah or exfoliating glove to lather up—it’ll leave your skin feeling soft and ultra-clean.
Pro tip: Rinse with cold water at the end of your cleanse. This can help lock in the fragrance of your shower gel, allowing the scent to linger longer.
Shaving isn’t a must, but if you want to, now’s the perfect time. Your pores are open from the warm water, and your skin is prepped and softened from exfoliating. Just apply a thick, hydrating layer of shave cream, and take your time. The everything shower is about feeling good, so go for a smooth finish if it adds to your confidence boost.
Shave solution: Don’t have shave cream? Swap it out with conditioner—its rich, creamy texture helps soften hair and provides a smooth surface for the razor to glide over.
By now, your hair treatment has had time to penetrate deeply, so rinse it out, and then give your face some TLC with a hydrating mask or cleansing treatment. Afterward, gently cleanse your face, and finish with a toner and serum right there in the shower (if they’re steam-friendly) or as soon as you step out.
Bonus: Consider using a cooling face roller after you step out to add an extra layer of pampering!
The everything shower isn’t complete without an extra layer of hydration. Apply a body cream or lotion while your skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture and leave your skin feeling super soft. A BELOVED body cream, with its rich, nourishing texture, can give your skin that post-shower glow and leave you smelling fresh for hours.
Pro tip: For an extra luxurious finish, layer a spritz of body mist to complement the scent of your cream. The combination will leave you smelling amazing and feeling like you just left a spa.
Don’t forget those feet! After the shower, take a minute to apply a rich foot cream or balm. Give your feet a quick massage and slip on a pair of cozy socks to seal in the moisture.
Smart move: Before applying foot cream, exfoliate your feet with a pumice stone or foot scrub to remove dead skin. This helps the moisturizer absorb more effectively, leaving your feet even softer and smoother.
An everything shower is best enjoyed as a weekly or bi-weekly ritual. It’s a commitment to self-care that doesn’t require daily upkeep, so even on your busiest weeks, this shower is your scheduled time to slow down and give yourself a little love.
An everything shower is more than just a trend; it’s a self-care ritual that can leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed, and radiant. It’s the perfect way to combine all your beauty steps into one luxurious session, saving you time and giving you that spa-like experience at home.
