Shower & Cleanse
The actual shower part - products I’d use when I want to feel properly clean without making the routine complicated. I like having a mix of everyday basics and a few nicer options that make the shower feel a little more special.
Obsessed with this shower gel! It smells amazing, feels creamy and leaves my skin soft without feeling dry. Such an easy way to make your shower feel a little more luxurious
Sol de Janeiro - Brazilian 4 Play Shower Cream-Gel
Smells absolutely gorgeous and feels so luxurious! It lathers beautifully and leaves my skin soft, clean and hydrated. The perfect body wash for an everything shower.
OUAI – Melrose Place Body Cleanser
This is the kind of shower product I’d save for when I want the whole routine to feel a little more luxurious. The oil texture makes a normal shower feel like more of a self-care moment, especially when my skin is feeling dry.
L’Occitane - Almond Shower Oil
Hair Reset
This is the part I save for when I actually have time to give my hair some attention. A good wash, scalp care and a proper hair mask make such a difference when I want that fresh-from-the-salon feeling.
This is the shampoo I’d save for the days when my hair needs a proper reset rather than just another wash. I like having something specifically for buildup and that super-clean feeling after an everything shower.
OUAI - Detox Shampoo
This is the step I’d add when I want my hair to feel properly cared for, not just clean. A nourishing mask is one of those things I wouldn’t bother with on a rushed shower day, but it makes an everything shower feel complete.
Amika - Soulfood Nourishing Mask
This is the treatment I’d save for when my hair needs a little more attention than a regular conditioner can give it. I’d add it to an everything shower when my hair feels dry, damaged or overworked from heat styling.
K18 - Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
Smooth & Exfoliate
The steps I don’t bother doing on a normal rushed shower day. Exfoliating and shaving take a little more time, but they’re exactly what gives me that super-smooth, freshly-groomed feeling afterwards.
A good body scrub is one of those little things that makes an everything shower feel completely different. I’d use this when I want that super-soft skin feeling before moisturizing or getting ready for something.
Tree Hut - Shea Sugar Scrub
I’d add this for the days when I’m actually taking my time with shaving instead of rushing through it. The oil makes the whole step feel a little more luxurious and fits perfectly into a proper everything-shower reset.
Tree Hut - Moisturizing Shave Oil
A proper everything shower is one of the few times I’d actually take my time with shaving. I’d rather have a razor that makes the process easy and comfortable than turn it into another complicated step.
Venus - ComfortGlide Razor
Body Care
This is where I want that soft, moisturized skin feeling to really last. I’d pick a lotion, butter or body oil depending on how much moisture and how much of a little luxury I’m in the mood for.
This is the kind of body butter I’d reach for when my skin needs more than a lightweight lotion. I like having one richer option for those everything-shower nights when I want that soft, deeply moisturized feeling.
Sol de Janeiro – Delícia Drench Body Butter
I like having one body lotion that doesn’t need a special occasion. This is the kind of everyday step I’d keep around when I want soft, hydrated skin without making body care feel like another big routine.
Nécessaire - The Body Lotion
This is the step I’d save for when I want my skin to look as good as it feels. A body oil adds that last bit of glow and makes an everything shower feel much more like a proper self-care ritual.
OSEA - Undaria Algae Body Oil
Finishing Touches
The part I look forward to most after an everything shower. I love having a few different scents to choose from depending on whether I want to smell fresh, sweet, clean or a little more warm and cozy.
Smells warm, sweet and instantly makes you feel put together. I love using it as the final step after a shower - the perfect little finishing touch.
Sol de Janeiro – Cheirosa 62 Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
Fresh, fruity and effortlessly feminine. It’s the perfect final spritz after a shower when you want to smell fresh, clean and put-together all day.
Sol de Janeiro - Cheirosa 68 Beija Flor Perfume Mist
This is the one I’d pick when I want my post-shower scent to feel warm, soft and a little more grown-up. I like that it’s easy to wear on its own but also makes sense for layering with other scents.
Phlur - Vanilla Skin Body Mist
This is the kind of scent I’d reach for when I want that fresh, clean feeling to last long after the shower. I love that it’s made for both hair and body, so it feels like an easy final step rather than another whole fragrance routine.
OUAI - Melrose Place Hair & Body Mist
Cozy Extras
Not essentials, obviously - just the little things that make me want to take my time. These are the extras that turn a normal shower into more of a little at-home spa moment.
The ultimate cozy upgrade after a long shower. Soft, comfortable and perfect for that little at-home spa feeling.
Canningvale – Bathrobe
Soft, fluffy towels make such a difference after a shower. They add that little hotel-spa feeling and are a simple way to make your everyday routine feel more luxurious.
Canningvale – Towels
This is one of those little extras I’d use when I actually have time for the full routine. Dry brushing adds another step before the shower and makes the whole thing feel much more intentional.
Kitsch - Exfoliating Dry Brush for Sensitive Skin
