ikTok is changing personal hygiene routines, turning them into extraordinary self-care rituals that can span between two to four hours. Thanks to this social media app with a viral tendency, we’re taking lessons on giving extra attention to ourselves, reiterating that a good day first begins with how you care for yourself. There is a new TikTok trend that has garnered over a million views and threatens to pull the rug from underneath quick shower lovers. It’s called the Everything Shower trend.
With over a million views, it’s clear that audiences are pleased with what this trend promises. Therefore, hopping on this bandwagon isn’t a bad idea. But first, what is TikTok’s Everything Shower, why has it gained such immense popularity, and how can you embrace it as part of your self-care regimen?
What is Tiktok’s Everything Shower?
TikTok’s Everything Shower involves a weekly head-to-toe routine featuring hair care, exfoliating scrubs, shaving oils, and moisturizing creams. It seeks to romanticize the most mundane aspects of our daily lives — a simple shower — by consciously weaving a thoughtful element of pampering oneself into the mix. It is split into three stages: pre-shower, shower, and post-shower, and each stage is designed to contribute to the overall well-being of your skin, hair, and body.
Why is this a trend?
While bathing and personal hygiene have always been part of our everyday activity, what sets the Everything Shower apart is the way it has transformed this regular routine into a pleasant experience. This trend has gone beyond cleanliness; it’s about celebrating self-care and making it a priority in our fast-paced lives. We all agree that this is one of the few trends that promote cleanliness as well as self-love, self-care, personal hygiene, and thoughtfulness.

The hustle and bustle of today’s world demands that you take the time to pamper yourself, and the Everything Shower trend offers just that. Here’s how to hop on this self-fulfilling train:
#1. Pre-shower
Before you take a shower, engage in these self-pamering activities:
- Pamper your hair: Start your Everything Shower by giving your hair all the attention it deserves. Begin by thoroughly wetting your hair, and then apply a nourishing shampoo. Gently massage your scalp to cleanse it, removing any dirt or product buildup. Rinse the shampoo thoroughly, and follow up with a conditioner to hydrate and moisturize your locks. Allow the conditioner to sit for a minute or two, before rinsing it out for a fresh and healthy hair.
- Don’t forget oral hygiene: Oral hygiene is a crucial part of your pre-shower routine. Brush your teeth with a good-quality toothbrush and toothpaste, paying attention to your teeth’s surface and your tongue. Remember to floss to remove any debris between your teeth, and finish with a mouthwash (if desired) for a sparkling smile and fresh breath.
- Enjoy a grooming session: Dedicate time to shaving during your pre-shower routine. Prepare the skin by applying a shaving gel or cream, which will soften the hair and protect your skin. Use a sharp razor to shave your legs, armpits, and pubic area, taking care to avoid nicks and cuts. Shaving during the pre-shower phase ensures a thorough cleanup and leaves your skin feeling smooth.
#2. Shower

- Enjoy an extended shower time: The shower phase is where TikTok’s Everything Shower truly shines. Extend your shower session to enjoy a thorough cleanse. Use warm water to not only cleanse your body but also soothe your muscles and provide a relaxing experience. Take this opportunity to wash away the stress of the day and embrace the serenity of the moment.
- Exfoliate: Exfoliation is key to achieving a radiant and smooth complexion. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or brush to eliminate dead skin cells, focusing on areas like elbows, knees, and feet where dead skin tends to accumulate. Exfoliating your face can also enhance its brightness and clarity. Be mindful not to over-exfoliate, as this can be harsh on your skin.
- Experience aromatherapy: Elevate your shower experience by using scented shower gels or essential oils. The power of aromatherapy can transform your shower into a spa-like experience, creating a relaxing atmosphere that lifts your mood and reduces stress. To enjoy this, choose scents that appeal to you and promote relaxation such as lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus.
#3. Post-shower

- Body exfoliation: The self-care journey continues after a shower with body exfoliation. After drying off, use a loofah to gently exfoliate your skin. This step helps maintain skin health by preventing ingrown hairs and promoting an even skin tone. Ensure to pay attention to rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels.
- Skincare routine: Pamper yourself with a complete skincare routine, depending on your usual steps. The most important steps of a skincare routine include cleansing, spot treatment, moisturizing, and sun protection. However, other additional skincare products that cater to your specific needs can be used.
