Everything you do before the water even starts
The only hair oil that actually lives up to the hype. I massage this into my scalp for 20 minutes before hopping in. It helps with growth and makes your hair feel so much thicker over time.

Dry brushing is the secret to getting rid of puffiness and waking up your skin. It feels a bit scratchy at first, but your skin will never be softer. Do this on dry skin before you turn the water on.
Pinnacle Face and Body Brush
This is a bit expensive, but it's the most aesthetic way to prep. It’s a dry oil-to-cream exfoliant you use on dry skin. It breaks down all the old lotion and SPF so your body wash actually works. It feels so high-end.

My secret for keeping my skin clear during a long shower. It’s a deep-cleaning clay mask that doesn't feel stripping. Applying it right before you get in is the most efficient way to handle a breakout while you’re already doing your hair mask.

If you dye your hair or use heat, this is non-negotiable. It literally repairs the bonds in your hair so it stops snapping off. It’s the closest thing to a salon treatment you can get at home. My hair has never felt stronger.
Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo
I’m honestly shocked this is drugstore price. You use it after shampoo for 8 seconds and it makes your hair look like a liquid mirror. It’s a lamellar water treatment that targets damaged areas instantly. The shine is actually unreal.
Elvive Dream Lengths 8 seconden Wonder Water
The best budget conditioner for when your hair feels like straw. It’s incredibly thick and has so much 'slip,' so it makes detangling in the shower so much easier. It smells warm and cozy, like a hug for your hair.
Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Conditioner
— phase 3: the body
The 'everything' part of the shower

I’m genuinely gatekeeping how smooth this makes your legs for shaving. It’s affordable, the scent stays on your skin, and it doesn't leave a greasy film in the tub. The only scrub that actually works.

The thickest, most aesthetic body cream ever. If you want to smell like vanilla and macadamia for 24 hours straight, this is the one. It’s the perfect final step to the reset.
Sol de Janeiro Bodybutter - Delícia Drench Delícia Drench Body Butter
The only dry shampoo that actually cleans the hair instead of just coating it in powder. I put this in on day 3 or 4 and my hair looks like it was just blown out. It’s a literal life saver for extending the everything shower results.
