At this point, I think to myself, might as well tack on a prewash hair oil and a post-shower face mask and make it a whole thing.
Say hello to the Everything Shower: Your excuse to completely indulge in a watery self-care wonderland. We're talking hair washing, exfoliating, shaving, cleansing and soothing all in one.
So turn on the hot (just, um, not too hot) water, because the Everything Shower dares to ask the question: What if a shower could be an experience-?
STEP 1: THE PRE-SHOWER
Everything Showers start before you even step in. Take a few minutes to prep your hair and skin while the water heats up, advises Lisa Abbey, founder of Strength x Beauty Hair and Body Care. "Oily and damaged hair benefits from a prep step," she explains. "When you apply products to dry hair, they penetrate more deeply."
Damaged hair? Strengthen it with hair oil or a deep conditioning mask. Oily hair? Spritz an apple cider vinegar rinse (mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with one cup of water in a spray bottle) wherever your hair is most oily. These treatments need a few minutes to get fully absorbed so, while you're waiting, prep your skin, too.
Whether or not you're shaving, dry brush your legs in wide, circular motions to help exfoliate and increase blood circulation (oh, and it feels ah-mazing).
Finally, take a few minutes to set the mood. Gather your fave candles and hit play on a relaxing playlist (peep our mix at girlslife.com/iti). The finishing touch? Pop your bathrobe in the dryer on low so it's warm and fluffy when you hop out.
