I believe that showering is the perfect time to practice self-care, whether it’s at the beginning of the day, the end of the day, or somewhere in between. And I could have done it perfectly. Here’s a little advice to take your shower experience to the next level in 2024.
How to improve your shower experience
Go beyond the normal steps you do in the shower (like shampooing your hair, wash your face body, shaving, etc.), you can improve your health and beauty experience by:
set the mood
When it comes to a comfortable shower, aromatherapy can go a long way. Investing in a shower mist with soothing scents or eucalyptus essential oils will make you feel like you’ve been transported to the steam room of a luxury spa. You can also hang a bunch of eucalyptus in your shower to feel refreshed and invigorated, or put a few drops of eucalyptus oil on your hands and inhale deeply to smell the scent. Aromatherapy not only supports mental clarity, but also relaxation and energy.
PS I love using skincare products that utilize scents that wake me up. Mint renewal cleanser.
Arrange relaxing music and sounds
There is nothing more relaxing than the sound of rain or ocean waves.Nature sounds are linked heal the body, improved health, reduced stress, improved mood, improved cognitive performance, and more. Or do you like calm songs? Whatever it is, setting up a playlist in advance is great for both your mind and body.
upgrade your shower head
For a more spa-like experience, consider showerheads with different settings, such as rainfall and massage jets. We also recommend using a shower head with a filter. These remove potentially harmful minerals and chemicals, keeping your skin safe and protected from irritation. A shower head with a filter is also effective for your hair. They help hair retain its natural oils and moisture, resulting in shinier, softer, and prettier hair.
raise the temperature
Have you ever found yourself sleep deprived and looking for ways to get some sleep? reduce puffiness under the eyes• Taking a hot shower is a great solution to this problem for two reasons: lymphatic drainage and circulation. The heat from the water dilates (relaxes and opens) the lymph vessels, which helps drain fluids (waste and toxins) from the body. When water hits your skin directly when you wash your face in the shower, excess water is drained away from around your eyes. The heat increases blood circulation and helps drain fluids from your face by standing upright when taking a shower.
Incorporate exfoliation
