Showering is just that, showering…right? Sure it can get you clean and it's good hygiene, but showering the right way can help you get glowing skin and soft hair!
Brush Your Hair First Detangling prior to showering is key because wet hair is weaker and prone to breakage. Start brushing at the ends and work your way up to the roots. Also make sure to avoid the urge to run your fingers through any tangles while you're conditioning, your hair will thank you later.
Rinse Thoroughly 3 minute showers are great, but before you get in a rush to lather your hair up, make sure you give your hair a thorough rinse under warm water. This helps loosen dirt and oil and open up the cuticle, giving you cleaner hair when you shampoo.
Lather Right Shampooing should take about 30-60 seconds. But don't just throw on your product and start scrubbing. It's important to distribute shampoo evenly at your roots, just pour a quarter-sized dollop into your hands and gently massage your hair in a back and forth motion. Remember, you don't need to shampoo all of your hair; you should never scrub fragile ends. Don't forget the nape of your neck either! This is where roots collect the most oil. When you're done with washing, squeeze the lather down the length of your hair then rinse until the water is clear of all suds!
Conditioning Quick Squeeze excess water out of hair form a loose pony with your hand, smoothing about a cherry-sized drop of conditioner through the lower half of the ponytail. This helps keeps the conditioner away from your roots, which makes sure that your hair won't appear greasy once your hair drys. Don't leave your conditioner in too long (unless you have really damaged hair or are doing a deep conditioning), rinse it out after a few seconds.
Body Breakouts Back breakouts are a pain, and leftover conditioner may the reason! Wash your body after you wash your hair, focus on that part of your back. Make sure you stay away from skin irritating/drying soaps.
Shave Smarter Shaving should be towards the end. When you're due for a shave, make sure to exfoliate before to help with any ingrown hairs. Remember to never use dull razors, they can cause nicks.
Face Last All of that steam has helped open your pores and has loosened all that sebum, which can cause acne. Wait until right before it's time to get out and turn the water temperature to lukewarm (this protects your delicate face skin) and do your final rinse in cool water to seal hair cuticles and leave your complexion refreshed and with minimum pore sizes.
