The Perfect “Everything Shower” Routine for That Clean Girl Glow-Up
There’s something magical about the “everything shower”—it’s not just a wash, it’s a full-body reset. Think deep cleansing, exfoliating, shaving, moisturizing, and stepping out feeling like that girl. Whether you’re prepping for a fresh week, a night out, or just want to feel like the best version of yourself, this guide breaks down the ultimate everything shower routine from head to toe.
Step 1: Set the Mood
Dim the lights, light a candle, and play your favorite chill playlist. A good vibe turns your routine from a task into a full-on self-care moment.
Step 2: Hair Detox
Start with your hair since you want to let conditioner or a hair mask sit while you do the rest.
- Clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup
- Deep conditioner or hair mask from mid-length to ends
- Use a scalp massager to boost circulation and help with hair growth
- Clip your hair up and out of the way while it soaks in the goodness
Step 3: Cleanse Your Body
Use a gentle body wash or a bar soap that won’t strip your skin. Double cleanse if needed—especially after sweating or wearing sunscreen all day.
- Use a loofah, washcloth, or exfoliating gloves
- Don’t forget your neck, behind your ears, and in between toes
Step 4: Exfoliate (The Right Way)
Now’s the time to buff away dead skin and reveal your glow. Don’t overdo it—2–3 times a week is enough.
- Body scrubs with sugar, salt, or chemical exfoliants like AHAs
- Focus on rough areas: elbows, knees, ankles
- Rinse well to prevent clogging pores
Step 5: Shave (Optional)
If you shave, do it after exfoliating when your hair is softer.
- Use a shaving cream or oil for glide
- Always use a clean, sharp razor
- Shave in the direction of hair growth to reduce irritation
Step 6: Final Rinse & Hair Care
Unclip your hair and rinse out your mask or conditioner with cool water for added shine. Follow with:
- Leave-in conditioner or hair oil
- Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb
Step 7: Post-Shower Moisture Lock
Pat your body dry with a soft towel—don’t rub. Lock in hydration while your skin is still damp.
- Body oil + thick body butter = the ultimate moisturizing duo
- Use a deodorant or natural alternative
- Spritz a body mist or light perfume for that lingering clean scent
Step 8: Skin Care Finish
Complete the glow-up with your facial routine.
- Cleanser → toner → serum → moisturizer → lip balm
- Add a face mask if you want to feel extra luxe
- Use a gua sha or roller if you have time
Final Touches
Slide into your cutest pajamas, fluff your hair, and relax with a book or journal. You’ve just completed the ultimate everything shower.
