TikTok’s latest self-care craze, the ‘everything shower,’ is a wellness trend that involves a comprehensive bathing routine. Unlike some TikTok beauty trends that can be questionable, the everything shower is both enjoyable and beneficial. It’s a detailed, weekly ritual that can last from one to four hours, promoting a sense of refreshment and renewal.
Typically part of an at-home spa day, a pre-date night ritual, or self-care Sunday activity, the everything shower can seem overwhelming at first. However, it’s all about personal preference. You start by massaging a cleansing oil onto dry skin to remove makeup and impurities, followed by a hair treatment using specific oils and masks.
The routine includes dry brushing before stepping into the shower to enhance circulation. Once in, use a body scrub for thorough cleansing, and follow up with a cleansing shampoo and conditioner or hair mask. A second facial cleanse happens while waiting for the hair mask to set. Some steps involve indulging in hotter showers for pore cleansing with face masks, finishing with a final rinse and shaving.
Afterwards, apply hydrating body products, perform a quick lymphatic massage, and continue with post-shower hair and facial care using serums and moisturizers. The final touch is a calming personal ritual like a cup of tea or reading before bed, rounded off with a gentle fragrance spritz.
Ultimately, this thorough routine is about indulging in self-care. Participants are encouraged to customize the routine to their liking, making it a versatile and personalized experience.
