The secrets of a perfect shower: the essential steps for optimal hygiene

Find out how the shower wash order can impact your skin and daily hygiene. Opt for an effective method for optimal washing!

  1. Start with the hair and scalp

The first step is to wash your hair and scalp first. Why this priority? 

  • Removal of hair residueStyling products, sebum and impurities accumulate on the scalp. By washing them first, you prevent these residues from spreading on already clean skin.
  • Pimple preventionShampoo and conditioner residue can clog pores and lead to blemishes on the face and back.
  • Optimal hydration: Starting with hair washing, hair care products like conditioner have time to work while you cleanse the rest of the body.
  1. Next, the face

  2. After rinsing your hair, cleanse your face with a product that is appropriate for your skin type. 

    Why this sequence?

    • Shampoo residue can irritate the skin and cause breakouts.
    • Cleansing your face after your hair removes all traces of hair product.

    Tip: Opt for a gentle cleanser and rinse with warm water to avoid drying out your skin.

    1. Upper body: shoulders, chest and back

    After the face, move on to the upper body using a washcloth or shower flower. 

    • Use circular motions to stimulate blood circulation and effectively remove dead skin cells.
    • Gentle cleansing prevents irritation and prevents the build-up of dead skin.
    1. The trunk, legs and feet

    Gradually move down to the lower body, emphasizing:

    • The back: Use a long-handled brush to clean this hard-to-reach area.
    • Legs and feet: These areas accumulate a lot of bacteria and sweat. Proper cleaning helps prevent infections and bad odors.
    1. Intimate areas last

    It is the most delicate part of the body and should be washed last to prevent the spread of bacteria. 

    Use a gentle, unscented cleanser to preserve the natural balance of this sensitive area.

    1. A thorough rinse and essential hydration

    After washing every part of your body, rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. When you get out of the shower: 

    • Dry yourself by gently patting with a clean towel (avoid rubbing, it can irritate the skin).
    • Apply a moisturizer to keep skin soft and protected.

    Why follow this order?

    Following this routine allows:

    • A more effective cleansing, preventing hair residue from contaminating the rest of the body.
    • Healthier skin, reducing the risk of irritation and pimples.
    • Better hygiene, by washing the most sensitive parts last.

    The next time you take a shower, adopt this method and enjoy glowing, clean skin from head to toe!
