How to Pamper Yourself in the Shower in Under 10 Minutes
Two Parts:Before Getting in the ShowerWashing Yourself
You don't have to have many products to give yourself a full pampering in a shower! It's all very simple. Do this 1-2 times a week and you'll feel fabulous.
Steps
Part 1 Before Getting in the Shower
- 1Brush or comb your hair, making sure to get out all the knots and tangles. However, avoid raking the brush or comb through your hair to prevent split ends and possible hair damage.
- 2Apply conditioner to your hair. Brush the conditioner through your hair.
- 3Apply a face-mask. An example of a good face-mask is Neutrogena, since it has a great 2 in 1 cleanser which you can use as a face mask.
- 4Once you have completed the above steps, collect what you need in the shower (see "things you'll need"). Remove your clothes.
Part 2 Washing Yourself
- 1Adjust the water to a nice temperature, making sure the water feels lukewarm. This will prevent your skin from becoming too flushed, resulting in poor skin. Step into the shower, and rinse out the conditioner.
- 2Rinse off the face-mask. Close your eyes to prevent the mask from getting into them.
- 3Wash your hair. Use a shampoo of a good brand, making sure to massage your scalp with your fingertips. Avoid scratching your head and raking your fingers through your hair.
- 4Lightly apply conditioner to your hair, being careful not to use too much. However, don't rinse it off.
- 5Exfoliate your face. Use a wash made for your face, making sure it's appropriate for your skin type.
- 6Scrub body wash onto your body.You can also use some shower gel.
- 7Shave any unwanted body hair. Be careful not to cut yourself.
- 8Exfoliate your body.
- 9Wash out the conditioner. The time you took to complete the above steps should be enough for the conditioner to work on your hair.
- 10Rinse yourself down. Make sure to wash off all the body wash and shower gel.
- 11Get out of the shower. Wrap a warm, fluffy towel around your body to give yourself a nice, cozy feeling.
- 12Moisturize your skin. While your skin is still damp, it's best to apply the moisturizer so that it can lock in the moisture. This will make it softer and last longer.
Tips
