The ‘Everything Shower’ offers, quite literally, everything we need to relax amidst a busy seasonal schedule. The head-to-toe reset has become a viral routine online for good reason, allowing us to slow down and invest time into ourselves with habits and products that support us both physically and mentally. Taking our time with skincare routines also ensures our products can properly do their job, letting top-of-the line skin and haircare soak in, exfoliate and cleanse. Follow our four steps below and emerge from the shower as a new person. —Julia Dumbrell
Scalp Massage: Say hello to Sami the Duck, an Exfoliating & Cleansing Scalp and Body Brush by Body Proud which encourages us to give our self-care an extra scrub ($11). Made with easy-to-clean silicone bristles, this shower buddy invites us to de-stress while increasing blood circulation for hair growth. Simply massage Sami the Duck on the scalp while shampooing, removing excess product build-up while giving the benefits of hair products more time to soak in.
Exfoliate All Over: After haircare, our pal Sami the Duck works wonderfully as a body brush to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. Use this Body Proud essential on wet or dry skin to help invigorate, smoothen and soften the skin. For the face, the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator will help remove dead skin cells without causing irritation ($89). The duo helps prep the skin for optimal product absorption all-over.
Wash and Absorb: After exfoliating, notice how well body and skincare products absorb into the skin, providing an amazing glow and softness. Scented with invigorating eucalyptus and lavender, skin will take well to the Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash ($48). For the face, the Dermalogica Precleanse Cleansing Oil and Special Cleansing Gel double cleanse the face, first with an oil-based cleanser and next with a water-based cleanser, to remove debris, pollutants, or leftover makeup and SPF ($68, $58).
Post-Shower Moisture: It wouldn’t be an everything shower without emphasising post-shower care! Replenish and restore well-washed skin with the Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Mask, following up with the Stabilizing Repair Cream and Body Hydrating Cream to lock in hydration on the face and body ($89, $89, $49).
As exfoliating naturally boosts collagen production, retain the supple feeling with the most luxurious vegan collagen serum, the Algenist GENIUS Liquid Collagen ($115). This serum has been clinically shown to visibly firm, smooth and reduce the severity of deep lines and wrinkles, while restoring bounce & resilience in 10 days – just in time to take another ‘Everything Shower’.
