Want a new self-care experience? Look no further than your shower! With the all-encompassing Everything Shower trend, simple cleansing routines become beautifying self-care rituals, offering a 360-degree approach toward physical and mental well-being. Let’s explore the benefits of this new beauty trend and how to go about it. Happening right now in a shower near you is a fantastic transformation. Who knew showering could be more than just getting clean?

What is the Everything Shower?
The Everything Shower meaning is pretty self-explanatory. Transcending basic cleansing and showering, the ultimate Everything Shower is a detoxifying, corrective, aromatherapeutic self-care regimen that takes place in your shower. Unlike traditional showering, which typically focuses on cleansing alone, it involves a full beauty routine that addresses the needs of your skin, body, hair, and mind more completely. From cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturizing to deep treatments like hair and face masks, no skin cell or hair follicle is left untouched or untreated.

Why Try the Everything Shower
In addition to its appearance-enhancing results, the effects on your mind and body are science backed! Following a shower regimen like this has been proven to positively impact well-being, promoting a sense of safety, comfort, and confidence. Next-level hygiene promotes cleanliness and wellness, while this concentrated self-care elicits production of mood-boosting hormones that reduce stress and anxiety while reducing depression.

How to Everything Shower
The Everything Shower routine can be customized to your specific concerns with your Pevonia clean beauty favorites. So, follow these steps to craft your personalized shower ritual, remembering that the aim is to relax and emerge renewed.

Pre-Shower Prep

1. Set the mood: Before stepping into the shower, light an aromatherapeutic candle and put on relaxing music to create a spa-like atmosphere.
2. Dry brush: Focus on dry brushing towards your heart in short strokes to begin the exfoliation process and promote lymphatic drainage for a smoother, healthier body.
3. Take it off: When doing your routine at night, remove eye make-up with a gentle eye make-up remover before hopping in the shower.
4. Be present: Set your shower intention, reminding yourself to notice the sensations of the water and products you are about to experience to turn your shower into a meditation.

In-Shower Steps
Let the showering from head to toe begin!

Hair & Scalp:

1. Pre-Shampoo: Improve scalp health and promote hair growth with a natural scalp scrub to loosen up follicle-clogging dead skin cells, oil, and styling product buildup.

The Chocolate Indulgence Foaming Salt Scrub eliminates accumulated debris and dandruff, invigorating dry, itchy scalps. For a nighttime relaxing scrub, use the BodyRenew™ Jasmine & Lavender Bath Salts or the Silky Skin Body Scrub with hair-loving Rosemary and Chamomile to achieve a calming, exfoliating effect. Massage gently all over your scalp and rinse thoroughly with warm water.

2. Shampoo: Cleanse, remove oil buildup, inhibit DHT, and balance the scalp microbiome with a pH-balanced Sulfate-Free shampoo that promotes hair growth. Double shampoo for a healthy scalp detox. Leave it on for five minutes for a results-driven hair mask, allowing hair thinning actives like Caffeine, Rosemary, Saw Palmetto, and Pumpkin to penetrate deeply.
3. Condition: Apply a hair regrowth conditioner with Rosemary, Keratin, Biotin, and Amaranth, concentrating it on the ends to eliminate dryness. Massage into dry, itchy scalp as needed.
4. Mask: Leave it in as a deep conditioning hair mask for ten minutes while the shower steam helps open the cuticle to boost moisture, strength, and shine. Take this time to gently detangle strands with your fingers or an extra-wide-tooth comb.

Pro Tip: Shampooing and conditioning before you cleanse your body prevents residue from triggering breakouts on your backside. If this order of use doesn’t work for you, at minimum, rinse conditioner before washing your back to prevent bacne.

Face & Body

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil-based natural cleanser to remove sunscreen and make-up, followed by double cleansing with a Sulfate Free foaming face wash to deeply cleanse, removing oil and any remaining debris. Don't forget to cleanse your ears!

Cleanse your body with a moisture-preserving natural shower gel that’s also safe for intimate areas. You can lather, rinse, repeat without worrying about dryness with our non-drying formulas.

2. Exfoliate: Those prone to dryness and sensitivity should opt for a gentle exfoliating cleanser on the face, neck, and chest. A similarly gentle natural exfoliating body scrub will thoroughly remove dead skin cells, smoothing the arms, legs, and stomach while preparing your skin for a silky smooth shave.

Those prone to oiliness, blackheads, breakouts, or uneven skin tone will benefit from Salicylic Acid face wash formulas with dual-exfoliation action. Pevonia has two types of exfoliator for acne prone skin featuring physical granules and Salicylic and Alpha Hydroxy Acids: theProCorrective® Clear-Control Exfoliator andSpaTeen® Blemished Skin Cleanser. These double as exfoliating scrubs for body breakouts and extra rough, bumpy, “strawberry skin,” and keratosis pilaris.

For a sensorial escape, the Tropicale De-Aging Saltmousse-Pineapple-Papaya or Chocolate Indulgence Foaming Salt Scrub with Sea Salt provide a rebalancing wellness experience.

Pro tip: Since Pevonia’s exfoliants contain gentle cleansing agents, you can skip the second cleanse if you prefer a more streamlined routine, as you will get that double cleansing effect when you exfoliate! And if your shower is getting crowded, the Chocolate Scrub doubles as a natural scrub for body and face!

3. Mask: Apply a clean skincare mask to take advantage of the steam opening your pores for maximum absorption. Leave on for ten minutes while performing the next steps.
4. Shave: Now that you have paved the path to a smoother body, apply ourEasy-Glide Shaving Emulsion, a Sulfate-Free shaving gel, for an irritation-free shave. Rinse your face & body when done shaving.

Eco-Friendly Tip: Be kind to the planet by turning water off while you shave, detangle, and mask, minimizing water usage.

Moisturize:
Follow these steps to stay softer longer!

1. Skin Mist: Before stepping out of the shower, spritz the Phyto-Aromatic Mist or Hyaluronic Acid HydraMist™ all over for deep penetrating moisture.
2. Concentrate: After toweling off, apply your favorite eye cream,serums, & concentrates.
3. Facial Finish: Wrap up your Everything Shower with a face moisturizer for your specific skin concerns, and layer with an aromatherapy face oil with essential oils for an extra dose of soothing moisture.
4. Body Wrap-Up: Treat the skin on your body like you do your face, layering it with the Preserve Body Moisturizer for the exfoliating action of Alpha Hydroxy Acids and lock in moisture with a natural body oil spray.

Pro Tip: The body oil makes an excellent frizz-taming, shine-boosting, leave-in conditioner, plus smooths fly aways. Simply spray onto hands and distribute evenly through hair.

5. Protect: If doing the Everything Shower in the daytime, protect the skin on your face and body with theHydrating Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40.

Everything Shower Time Commitment
How often and how long you Everything Shower depends on your beauty needs, time, and stress levels. You can do it once a week, every other week, or monthly. For those particularly vexed by skin woes and stress, if you want to do it twice a week, we say, why not? To reap the full rewards, set aside a few hours for the perfect Everything Shower routine and maximum pampering. Like old-school hair wash days, unapologetically say no to distracting invites, embrace your spa-at-home space and routine wholeheartedly, reveling in your new, refreshed vibe.
