How to Elevate Your Everything Shower Routine
Let’s be honest, there’s the quick five-minute rinse you do on a Tuesday morning, and then there’s the everything shower. If you’ve been anywhere near TikTok lately, you already know that the everything shower isn't just about getting clean. It is a full-blown ritual and the ultimate reset button for your body and mind after a long week. But while you might have your in-shower steps down to a fine art, the secret to a truly transformative everything shower routine actually lies in what happens outside the water. Here’s how to take your routine from a standard wash to a luxury spa-like experience at home.
What is an everything shower?
So, what is an everything shower, exactly? Born out of a viral social media trend, an everything shower is an extensive, multi-step bathing ritual where you do, well, everything. We're talking hair masks, exfoliation, shaving, moisturising, and whatever else makes you feel like a brand-new human. It’s an unapologetic act of self-care that forces you to slow down and carve out a little "me time."
What most people already do
Chances are, you’ve already got the core of your shower routine sorted. You know your favourite products and the order that works best for you. Usually, it looks a little something like this:
Hair: shampoo, conditioner, treatment
The heavy lifting. This is when the clarifying shampoos come out, followed by a deep-conditioning hair mask that you leave in while you tackle the rest of your routine.
Body: scrub, exfoliating glove, body wash
The full-body buff. Think sugar scrubs, a good exfoliating glove or shower puff, and a calming body wash to wash the week away. If an ‘everything bath’ is more your thing, a magnesium bath soak can really soothe your body and help you relax into a restful sleep.
Extras: shaving, scalp massage, face mask
The finishing touches. Maybe you do a double-cleanse on your face, use a silicone scalp massager, or do a full-body shave.
The part most people forget about the everything shower: the before and after
Here’s the thing, most people focus all their energy on what happens inside the shower. But the real magic of a good bath routine or everything shower happens in the before and after.
If you’re stepping out of a luxurious, hot shower only to freeze on cold tiles and dry off with a scratchy, worn-out towel, you’re instantly ruining the vibe. Elevating your routine means setting the scene before you step in, and extending the comfort long after you step out.
How to elevate your everything shower
Before you get in
Don't just turn on the tap and jump in. Set the mood! Dimming the harsh bathroom lights and taking a moment to light a candle instantly tells your brain that it's time to unwind.
Stepping out
The transition from warm water to room temperature is critical. Having a soft, absorbent bath towel ready to go makes all the difference. To save your feet from the cold floor, stepping out onto a textured bath mat helps keep that cosy feeling alive while adding a nice touch to your bathroom styling.
Your robe
Why rush getting dressed? You can easily extend the relaxed feeling by slipping straight into a comfortable robe. Whether you’re lounging on the couch, doing your skincare, or doing a face mask, a robe keeps the momentum going.
Post-shower care
The routine doesn't end in the bathroom. To truly wind down for a restorative night's sleep, it helps to incorporate some post-shower habits. Applying a soothing magnesium balm to tired muscles or misting your pillows with a soothing bed spray can work wonders.
