TikTok Trending: The Everything Shower Routine from A to Z
- 3 min reading time
Have you been on TikTok in the past few months? Then chances are you’ve already seen this viral trend, the everything shower routine. Also known as the 2 hour shower or even the 3 hour shower, where you pamper yourself from head to toe with an extensive selfcare session in the shower. But what does it actually mean, how often should you do this routine, and what do you need to join in on this TikTok trending beauty ritual?
What is an everything shower?
An everything shower is much more than quickly washing yourself. It’s an extensive routine where you literally do everything your body needs to feel fresh, soft and cared for. Think scrubbing, shaving, hair masks, moisturizing, dry brushing and more. It’s an extra luxurious shower routine, set to selfcare mode. And trust us, after a session like this, you’ll feel completely renewed.
Why the 2 hour shower is so popular
The everything shower routine is trending on TikTok because it’s more than just selfcare, it’s also a mental reset moment. The 2 hour shower or even 3 hour shower is all about consciously taking time for yourself, with relaxing music, scented candles and a wide range of care products.
Of course, you don’t have to stay in the shower for 2 or 3 hours if you don’t want to, your wallet might not enjoy that either ;) The point is to consciously take the time to care for yourself from head to toe. It’s selfcare meets spa, right at home.
How often should you do an everything shower?
You usually do an everything shower once a week. See it as your moment to go offline, detox your skin and clear your mind. You don’t need to do it daily, that wouldn’t be practical or eco-friendly, but once a week or every other week is ideal for most skin types.
What can you do during an everything shower?
Everyone gives it their own twist, but these are the most popular steps:
- Dry brush: Use a dry brush before showering to stimulate circulation and loosen dead skin cells.
- Washing hair: Start in the shower with a shampoo that deeply cleanses your scalp and hair. Use a shampoo brush or scalp massaging brush for an extra relaxing wash.
- Conditioner: Treat your lengths and ends with a softening conditioner and rinse it out well.
- Hair mask: Apply a nourishing hair mask and let it soak in while you continue your routine.
- Scrubbing: Exfoliate your body with a gentle sugar scrub or scrub mitt for smooth, soft skin.
- Shaving: Use a moisturizing shaving cream or oil and take your time for a smooth result without irritation. No shaving cream on hand? Conditioner also works great as a shaving lotion.
- Face cleansing: Use a gentle (foaming) cleanser to cleanse your face from dirt and oil.
- Dermaplaning: Apply a serum or facial oil and use a dermaplaning razor to remove peach fuzz from your face.
- Body wash: Use a nourishing shower gel to cleanse and refresh your skin. Tip, use an African Net Sponge to elevate your shower routine.
- Body care: Finish with a rich body butter, lotion or oil on slightly damp skin for optimal hydration.
Which products do you need?
For a successful everything shower routine, you’ll need a few must haves, a dry brush, a good scrub like the ones from Tree Hut, an intensive hair mask, shaving products, a nourishing shower gel and a hydrating body lotion or body butter. Don’t forget your favorite scented candle and chill music for the ultimate spa vibe.
