The Ultimate Guide to the “Everything Shower”

Move over, quick rinse! The “everything shower” has taken TikTok by storm, and for good reason. This viral shower routine is more than just a deep-clean moment; it’s a full-on reset for your body to help you feel healthier, bolder and stronger. If you’re ready to elevate your pamper game and indulge in the ultimate bathroom therapy, keep reading.

What Is An Everything Shower?

The “everything shower” is a comprehensive beauty routine performed in one luxurious, often time-consuming session. Unlike your regular rinse, this is your deep dive into full-body care; Think of it as your monthly (or weekly!) beauty overhaul. People now use the term to express self-love, embrace holistic beauty, and prioritise time for themselves amidst busy schedules.

An everything shower isn’t just about hygiene, it’s about indulgence, mindfulness, and leaving the bathroom feeling like the best version of yourself that's ready to Never Stop Growing.

What Does an Everything Shower Include?

No two “everything showers” are exactly the same, but here’s the general structure that beauty lovers swear by:

1. Pre-Shower Rituals

✔ Scalp Massager - To stimulate circulation and exfoliate the scalp gently dry brush your scalp before cleansing

✔ Face Masks - To prep your skin before hot showers open your pores

✔ Set The Scene - To truly relax, light some candles, heat some scented natural oils and set the mood to create a truly relaxing experience that will help you to unwind and reset.

2. In-Shower Essentials

✔ Double Cleansing - Shower, rinse, repeat! Get a deep cleanse in to remove any dead skin cells from the scalp using a clarifying Shampoo, such as the UKLASH Shampoo! For more details on how to wash your hair properly, read our article here

✔ Deep Conditioning Treatment - Use a hair mask such as the UKLASH Repair Mask. It has a bond-building technology which works to rebuild and restore the Keratin content in your hair, which makes up around 80-85% of our hair follicles, so a core part of our hair's structure which we need to take care of!

✔ Full Body Exfoliation - Use your favourite body scrub or chemical exfoliant to remove any dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling clear and ready for any necessary hair removal.

✔ Hair Removal - Whether you prefer shaving, hair removal cream or epilation, it's best to remove hair after exfoliation to achieve a smoother finish

✔ Face Cleanse - Opt for your favourite facial cleanser to rinse away that face mask you used earlier along with any impurities or makeup

3. Post-Shower Glow-Up

✔ Body Lotion -  It's a great idea to coat your body in your favourite body oils or lotion post-shower to lock in moisture while skin is still damp

✔ Hair Serum - With a freshly cleansed, towel-dried scalp, this is the best time to apply the UKLASH Hair Serum to help hair feel longer, stronger and healthier. For more information on how to apply hair serum, head to our article here.

✔ Skincare Routine - Now's the time to indulge in some of your favourite skincare products to help you to Never Stop Growing and Glowing! Try the UKSKIN by UKLASH LED Dual-Light Pro-Therapy Face Mask to make the most of low light therapy (learn more about what it can do here) or layer some of your favourite serums and antioxidants!

✔ Fragrance Layering - Use a body mist or perfume for an added touch of freshness!

How Can the Everything Shower Make You Feel Better?

Taking this intentional time for yourself has a powerful impact on both your body and mind. Here’s how:

Mental Clarity and Emotional Reset

Spending uninterrupted time in a steamy, aromatic environment helps quiet mental chatter. The routine itself, which is step-by-step and sensory-rich, becomes almost meditative, helping to ease anxiety, clear your head, and centre your focus. It’s a personal retreat that says, “this time is just for me.”

Boosted Confidence and Self-Esteem

When you step out of your everything shower, you feel like you’ve just had a glow-up! Silky skin, shiny hair and a polished appearance can all contribute to a visible transformation which can, in-turn, significantly lift your mood and confidence levels.

Stress Relief Through Ritual

The repetition and care involved in an everything shower soothe the nervous system.  Warm water calms the body, while familiar steps (like exfoliating or applying a rich conditioner) offer comforting predictability, something we often crave during chaotic times.

A Sense of Control and Accomplishment

Love making lists just so you can cross them off? Us too. In a world where so much feels outside our control, completing a full shower ritual provides a sense of agency, much like creating a to-do list does. It’s productive self-care that visibly pays off, with immediate, tangible results that will help you feel healthier, bolder, stronger and in control.
