How to Elevate Your “Everything Shower”
The "everything shower" is a luxurious and rejuvenating ritual that transforms your shower routine into a comprehensive self-care experience. It's a process you undertake when you want to feel completely renewed and reset. As you meticulously pamper your hair, skin, and body, it's essential to be mindful of how the products you use impact your overall wellness. This guide provides non-toxic recommendations to help you feel clean, confident, and cared for after your everything shower.
Step 1: Prep
Dry Brushing: Queen of Thrones Bamboo Dry Brush (Available at Simply)
Practicing dry brushing will help you achieve radiant, glowing skin. The motion of the bristles on dry skin promotes blood flow and lymphatic drainage, reduces ingrown hairs, and sheds dead skin cells. Starting at the feet/ankles, use light strokes, working upwards towards your neck before you hop in the shower.
Hair Prep: If hair growth is your goal, doing scalp/ends treatment will provide amazing results when done consistently.
Rosemary Water: Recent studies have unlocked the potential of rosemary to repair damage, stimulate growth, and hydrate dry scalp. Simply bring two cups of purified water to a boil with a few sprigs of rosemary. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes. Let it cool and store in the fridge for up to two weeks. Once you are ready to use, spray or drop liquid onto the scalp and massage for several minutes. For added hydration, add jojoba, castor, or argan oil to your ends and leave in for at least 30 minutes before showering.
Step 2: Atmosphere
Music: While belting in the shower can be fun and therapeutic, we recommend fully leaning into the spa-like experience of the everything shower and playing frequencies/sounds that will ease your mind and calm your nervous system.

Our skin is our largest organ, so our hygiene routine directly affects our hormones and toxin absorption. The shower creates an ideal environment for our pores to open and detoxify. However, using products that leave lasting toxicity can negate these benefits. By incorporating said routines and products into your next shower, you'll not only enhance your appearance but also improve your overall well-being.
